Apparently Gwyneth Paltrow’s ‘Vaginal Egg’ Suppository Is A Total Sham
Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop has agreed to pay $145,000 in civil penalties in a consumer protection lawsuit over its misleading jade vagina egg claims https://t.co/0K9uGoFyDD

Prosecutors in California were spurred on by a complaint from Truth in Advertising, a watchdog group that investigated Goop’s marketing last summer, and found at least 50 instances in which the company claimed products sold on its site could “treat, cure, prevent, alleviate the symptoms” of a range of health issues, including anxiety, depression, infertility, and arthritis.
The suit specifically took issue with the now-infamous rose quartz and jade eggs, which Goop instructed women to stick up their vaginas to help “increase sexual energy,” tone “vaginal muscles,” balance hormones, and increase bladder control. The eggs, which are still sold on the site, cost $55 and $66 and you can apparently recharge them with the energy of the full moon.
The products and their claimed benefits caused quite the commotion on the interwebs when Goop began selling them last year, compelling doctors and medical professionals to beg women not to actually stick the stones up their vaginas.
Soooo these eggs that harvest the energy of a full moon don’t alleviate anxiety, tighten the vaginal muscles, make you horny, pee better, or cure depression?
Well, color me shocked.
Copper bracelets and magic eggs for your box are billion dollar makers and if someone approached me with the opportunity to invest, I’d say GFY.
Not Gwyneth. She’s made 10’s of millions of dollars slapping her name on this stuff then going on late night shows telling ladies the only reason she’s happy and healthy is from shoving a $77 egg in her vagina for a few hours a day. Outstanding work if you can get it.
I’d like to read the depositions of the women who filed the complaints against GOOP and how gullible these poor suckers were.
“I put three of those things in there and not only did nothing happen, I felt like a Hen”
“After inserting the egg I went to dinner and it fell out onto the ceramic floor when we were dancing. So embarrassed‘
“OOOOHHH. It goes in the FRONT! My Bad. Sort of. :)”
