  + stars: | 2018-09-29 | by ( Tom Murray | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: 1 min
The trials and tribulations of Gwyneth Paltrow's lifestyle brand, Goop, have been well-documented. Just this month, Paltrow's company made headlines for settling a $145,000 lawsuit over claims that its vaginal eggs could balance hormones, admitting that some of its magazine's outlandish health advice may not work, and for selling $30 repellent for "psychic vampires." Despite the controversies, Goop seems to be going from strength to strength. A source recently told The New York Times that the company was worth $250 million and they just opened a pop-up in London's affluent Notting Hill. With the lure of vaginal eggs and vampire repellent impossible to resist, Business Insider's London bureau decided to drop in on Goop's new outpost to check out its most outrageous wares.

I need to start my jade egg practice," she said with a laugh. Jen Gunter, a California-based obstetrician and gynecologist, wrote a widely cited blog post in 2017 about why Goop's vaginal jade eggs are a bad idea.

ShutterstockGoop recently made headlines for selling a $66 jade egg meant to be placed inside the vagina and squeezed using a series of muscle contractions. Is is true that having a strong pelvic floor leads to stronger orgasms, and using a jade egg might strengthen those key muscles. But a $66 jade egg is not the only way to achieve this.
