Ive been reading all about the jade eggs you are selling on GOOP for $55-66 a pop and the corresponding interview with a jade egg enthusiast. I have tried not to respond to this hot mess, after all a man who leers at naked 15 year-olds and brags about sexual assault is about to assume the highest office in the land. Quite frankly women have more compelling health interests right now, however, I have been asked by so many people about your vaginal rocks that I felt it necessary to drop you a line.
I read the post on GOOP and all I can tell you is it is the biggest load of garbage I have read on your site since vaginal steaming. Its even worse than claiming bras cause cancer. But hey, you arent one to let facts get in the way of profiting from snake oil.
My issue begins with the very start of your post on jade eggs specifically that queens and concubines used them to stay in shape for emperors. Nothing says female empowerment more than the only reason to do this is for your man! And then the claim that they can balance hormones is, quite simply, biologically impossible. Pelvic floor exercises can help with incontinence and even give stronger orgasms for some women, but they cannot change hormones. As for female energy? Im a gynecologist and I dont know what that is!? How does one test for it? Organically sourced, fair trade urine pH sticks coming soon to GOOP for $77 I presume?

I liked the color and I love rocks and minerals in general. The one I have looks similar to malachite.

Some people just want to believe anything they're told without question.

"And, this is a weird one, but I sometimes feel people are more attracted to you when youre carrying a jade eggmy 20-year-old daughter was joking about it one day, we were walking down the street and she was like, Mom, are you wearing a jade egg?!"
