vagina-magicGoop is a haven of bizarre advice.

Remember when Gwyneth wrote a post on how to make a bed? Or when her site recommended mixing ‘sex dust’ into morning smoothies?

Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop is now advising women to stick stone eggs up their vaginas

And then, of course, there was the time when Gwynnie wrote about steaming her vagina to get an ‘energetic release’ – and the gynecological community held their heads in their hands.

Well, Goop’s back with a new piece of amazingly non-scientific sex advice.

This time, they’re suggesting that you start sticking jade eggs up your ‘Yoni’ to promote better sex.

In Goop’s latest newsletter, jade egg-veteran Shiva Rose explains why using them ‘improves sex life, your cycle and overall well-being’.

No matter how much you want to get that six pack/shed a few pounds/become generally fitter, life has a habit of getting in the way.

You might intend to go to the gym every lunchtime but sometimes free office food or spontaneous liquid lunches crop up.

That’s it, you think. There’s no point in trying anymore – there’s never going to be an ideal week for slogging it on the treadmill.
