We welcome individuals with vaginas, regardless of gender identity, and even those with vaginas but without a womb can experience the wonderful benefits of this practice. It's important to note that Yoni steaming is not suitable for individuals without a vagina. In fact, we discourage men, or those with a penis and testicles, from participating in any form of steaming, as it may affect sperm, which thrives in slightly lower temperatures and could be harmed by excess heat.

  • While there isn’t an official prescription for Yoni steaming, here are some general guidelines:

    1. As part of your self-care routine, try steaming once a week before your period (luteal phase) and once after your period ends (follicular phase).

    2. If you’re dealing with PMS symptoms, you can steam 2-3 times in the week before your period to help relieve pain, bloating, or fatigue.
