Love Eggs

A love egg is a small, egg-shaped vibrator worn inside the vagina. It is held in place by the pelvic floor muscles, with a cord or loop left outside for removal, and most are controlled by a wireless remote or a phone app, which makes them popular for hands-free play and couples’ games.

Love egg, bullet or jiggle balls?

A love egg vibrates and is worn internally. A bullet is a slim external vibrator for the clitoris. Jiggle balls, or Kegel balls, do not vibrate: they are worn to exercise the pelvic floor. Shops often group them together, so check each listing.

What to compare

• Size: most eggs are 3 to 3.5 cm across
• Remote or app control, and the stated range
• Rechargeable or battery powered
• Number of vibration patterns
• A secure cord or loop for removal

How to use a love egg

Charge it or fit the batteries, apply a little water-based lubricant and insert the egg as you would a tampon, leaving the cord outside. Start on the lowest setting. Love eggs have no flared base, so they are for vaginal use only. Wash before and after every use and dry fully.
