The Multifaceted Wonders of Yoni Oil: A Comprehensive Guide by Wands of Lust

The Lubricant Lowdown: Yoni Oil & Intimate Rituals

At Gaiae, we’re all about elevating your journey into holistic self-care and soft, sensual wellness. Alongside our crystal tools, ritual wands and body oils, one product keeps becoming a non-negotiable in so many feminine care routines: yoni oil.

Think of yoni oil as a gentle, plant-based ally for the delicate skin of your vulva – a way to bring more nourishment, intention and pleasure to one of the most sacred parts of your body.

What is yoni oil?

“Yoni” comes from Sanskrit and refers not just to the vulva, but to the sacred, creative feminine. Yoni oil is a special blend of natural oils and botanicals formulated specifically for the sensitive skin of the external vulva area.

Gaiae’s yoni oil is:

  • Made from a 100% plant-based formulation
  • Designed with intimate wellness and ritual in mind
  • Focused on comfort, nourishment and sensual self-connection
Yoni oil isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about adding softness, moisture and ritual to the way you care for and meet your body.

What is yoni oil good for?

Everyone’s body is unique, but many women like to use yoni oil to:

  • Soften and hydrate the external vulva and surrounding skin
  • Add slip and comfort to external touch and self-massage
  • Create a daily or weekly ritual of connection with their yoni
  • Support pre- and post-intimacy care as part of a broader wellness routine

Always pay attention to how your own body responds and discontinue use if you notice irritation or discomfort.

Where do you put yoni oil?

Yoni oil is primarily designed for the external intimate area:

  • Across the vulva
  • Under and around the labia
  • Along the inner thighs and outer pelvic area

Some people also love using a drop on their lower belly, womb space or along their body as part of a larger sensual self-massage ritual.

When to use yoni oil

You can weave yoni oil into your life in whatever way feels most supportive. Many women like to use it:

  • As part of a daily self-care or shower ritual
  • Before bed, as a way to slow down and reconnect with their body
  • Before or after sexual intimacy as external care and nourishment

Yoni oil, pregnancy & scent

Can yoni oil be used during pregnancy?

Many people enjoy using gentle, plant-based oils in pregnancy as part of their body-care rituals. However, because pregnancy is such a unique time for your body, we always recommend checking with your healthcare provider before introducing any new product into your routine.

What about taste and odour?

Everyone experiences scent and taste differently, but yoni oils are typically crafted with a natural, mild and pleasant aroma thanks to their botanical ingredients.

Yoni oil isn’t about masking your natural scent – it’s about supporting comfort and freshness in a gentle, non-harsh way.

Can yoni oil be used as a lubricant?

Yoni oil can add extra slip and sensation to external touch, and some people enjoy using a small amount during intimacy. A few important notes:

  • Always check product directions for how it’s intended to be used.
  • Oil-based products can interfere with latex condoms and some toys, so be mindful around contraception and materials.
  • If you have sensitivities, patch test on a small area of skin first and check with your healthcare provider if you’re unsure.

Directions for using Gaiae Yoni Oil

These are general suggestions – always adjust based on your own body and needs.

  • Can be used externally around the vagina, under the labia and throughout the vulva for daily care and sensual ritual.
  • Apply 2–3 drops as needed and massage in gently.
  • Add a few drops to a warm bath for a soft, fragrant soak.
  • Use 1–2 drops on the tip of a favourite yoni tool (for example, a yoni egg or wand) and pair with plenty of presence and lubrication that’s appropriate for your body and toys.
