Twilight’s Insights - A Peek Into the Brain of a Common Sense Witch
A post a little while ago asking where to find the tiny crystal phalluses led me on a google search that took me to some interesting places. And some of those places were, well, unsafe! Just in case any of you have seen or have considered this practice, please let me give you this PSA:
While I fully acknowledge that it is very tempting to put crystals in your vagina (or, ladies and gentlemen, in your hind end) based on their healing properties (or because it seems new-agey and cute and well, sometimes they are shaped *just* right) I have to tell you that it is REALLY not a good idea.
Here’s why: Crystalline structure is delicate, and can fracture easily. They can harbor bacteria or eventually weaken enough that the crystal breaks (or both!) They contain small fracture lines naturally, and it is along these fractures that the stone is both weak and a great place for bacteria to hide. Porousness is another factor, as porosity equals extra bacteria storage!
I don’t think I should have to tell you that bacteria is bad. I don’t think I should have to tell you that bacteria plus your delicate mucous membranes is EXTRA bad. Yeast infections, anyone? Urinary tract infections? Worse?
“But Twilight,” you say, “Can’t I just clean it with toy cleaner, like I would my other toys made of silicone or rubber?”
NO. Cleaning products can damage the stone, and the porousness can hold the cleaning products which in turn are bad for you.
“Well, then can’t I just boil the thing, like I do my silicone and rubber toys?”
NO, that will change the crystal - heat treating is a thing, to change the color of a stone, and also to change its makeup. Don’t boil your stones. It especially could lead to cracking and breakage, and we certainly wouldn’t want that to happen while you’re, uh...blessing yourself down there.
Yes, there are sites out there touting the joys of crystalline sex, and some site especially recommend particular stones, like Jade, but it is in your best interest to avoid this practice.
You wan’t to put a crystal phallus where the sun don’t shine? Be smart - get a Pyrex glass toy from your local shop, or even a ‘melt’ or ‘smelt’ glass that has been carved. There are much safer, although still potentially porous and breakable, they CAN be cleaned using toy cleaner and CAN be boiled for sanitation.
ADDED NOTE: This also applies to 'yoni eggs' made of stone and crystal. If you want to strengthen your pelvic muscles, get stainless steel or pyrex, there's many SAFE options for you online!

Safety first, folks.
