Product Features & Design
The Yonigasm 'Shadow Healer' yoni wand is made from Black Obsidian, that is curved and very weighty, making it an excellent tool for g-spot stimulation. The wand is completely seamless and very smooth all over, making it very comfortable for insertion and movement whilst inside the vagina.
Included in my yoni wand order was a pouch of herbs and dried flowers, used to cleanse the yoni products. They smelled absolutely fantastic and really added to the sensual experience for me. These come with every Yonigasm order and I thought this was a really nice touch. I also received a Yonigasm branded canvas pencil case, or zip pouch, where I now keep my herb pouch and my yoni egg that was also gifted by Yonigasm.
Cleansing Bath
Following the instructions I was given on my Yonigasm guidance leaflet, I used the herb pouch to create a tea in order to cleanse and purify my yoni egg. I have made a YouTube tutorial about how to do this too, which you can access through this link viewing my Yoni egg video review: https://youtu.be/K4-fGrSRH1g
To perform the cleanse, you will need:
1. In the bowl of hot water, mix together your herb pouch and apple cider vinegar. Remember to be mindful through this entire process. This is the time to consider what you would like from your crystal yoni wand and how you would like your experience to go.
2. Add your yoni wand to the bowl carefully, placing it in slowly so that it doesn't hit the bottom of the bowl too hard. Yoni wands are very delicate and could possibly chip if you are using a glass bowl.
3. Use a spoon to mix the tea around the wand.
4. Let the wand sit for 5-15 minutes. In this time, try to focus on mindfulness and positive outcomes. Focus your energy towards the experience of using the wand.
5. Using the cloth, dry the wand and make sure there are no herbs left on the wand. BE CAREFUL - the water might be hot, causing your wand to heat up, be cautious and remove the wand without burning yourself.
Once cooled down, your wand will be ready to use. Do not insert the wand until it has fully cooled to avoid burns.
Accessibility & Ease of Use
When I first opened my yoni wand package, the thought that came to mind was that it looked like a back massager. It was solid and smooth and I immediately ran to my partner to ask them whether they would run it down my back. It instantly felt incredible and that is my first point for accessibility. If you don't want to use this product in a sexual setting, you don't have to. This can be used simply as a massager for deep tissue, full body massages. It feels even better when combined with some massage oil and feels great on the skin.
In terms of using it in a sexual setting, there isn't much to get your head around! This is a yoni product, so it is made of natural crystal. No complicated buttons, no crazy patterns of vibration, just a nice length of smooth black obsidian crystal. I feel that the shape and weight of this wand makes it feel so comfortable to insert and use as a penetrative toy. However, I would recommend slow use as it is a hard material and can sometimes feel less gentle than a silicone product.
In terms of anal use, I don't think this could be used very easily, due to the large bulbous shape at the head of the wand. This could work for those more experienced with anal play, but for beginners, I would recommend something with a tapered tip.
Performance & My View
I must repeat, even after using my first yoni product, the Fire Faerie yoni egg, I am still a bit of a skeptic when it comes to using crystals. But the same feelings are there in that this product helped me to practice mindfulness and focus on myself and my pleasure. Using yoni products aren't just about reaching orgasm - they provide an entire experience that allow you to feel more present in the moment and consider what is happening at the current second. I was very conscious of my actions and movements the entire time I used the Shadow Healer and this added to the intimacy for me.
I still love doing the cleansing tea baths and feel like this process really adds to the excitement. This product is not one that I regularly use, but often use when I would like to feel more relaxed and more intimate during a masturbation session.
Value for Money
The Shadow Healer yoni wand is priced at $130 and I can't lie, if I wasn't gifted this item I wouldn't pay this price to purchase it. I feel as though the experience is fab, but at almost 98 British Pounds, this is far too pricey. It is important to remember that this is a luxury item and you are paying for an experience. However - when purchasing expensive sex toys, I usually look for an advancement in technology that would make it worth paying for. This just doesn't offer that unfortunately!

To perform the cleanse, you will need:
- a bowl of warm/hot water
- the Yonigasm herb pouch provided
- a few tablespoons of apple cider vinegar (I used 3 cap fuls, this can be down to your preference)
- a spoon to mix
- a cloth to dry your yoni wand
1. In the bowl of hot water, mix together your herb pouch and apple cider vinegar. Remember to be mindful through this entire process. This is the time to consider what you would like from your crystal yoni wand and how you would like your experience to go.
