The girl next door, well down stairs

Theres one thing that reigns true for every woman in every country of every soci-econmic background, we all have vagina's. In the 25-30 days we are not celebrating our private part-y we have collected some questions from teens and women about the mystery that is lady V. Heres our list of answers, feel free to chime in with a  question or comment or both, we'd love to hear from you!



Q.) What is the queef all about?. 

A.)This is the sound that mimics gas coming out of your vagina. If this happens to you, Nick named "the queef" is simply what happens when air is pushed into the vagina during intercourse or yoga class, and a switching of positions allows much of it to rush out.  It if it happens just keep enjoying yourself, because it has happened to all of us. 

Q.) douching is so expensive do you guys have an home alternative for vaginal washing?

A. Your vagina doesn't have to smell like the perfume boutique at Bergdorfs. Or be “douched.” Just because hundreds of products are marketed to help you spruce your vagina, doesn’t mean that’s whats needed. If you like to use those products—okay. But don’t use them out of insecurity. A vagina is meant to smell like...well a vagina.

Q.) My doctor suggested I get the HPV shot but my paps always come up clean, how do I tell her Im not interested?

Your pap can only detect one type of cancer And that’s cervical. It doesn’t scan for cancer on your ovaries, uterus or your colon. The HPV vaccination is a good  option for some people but it is a decision you should read up on and discuss in depth with a health care professional. Most hospitals and OB-GYN offices will schedule consultation appoints to help you with any concerns you may have in an environment that is welcoming and wont make you feel rushed. 

Q.) Im only 24 and i'm experiencing vaginal dryness, is something wrong?

A.)Plenty of women struggle to become naturally lubricated. Don’t feel like you’re all dried up  by standing in the K-Y aisle at the drug store. You deserve comfortable and enjoyable sex. So go get it. Alway consult your GYN before treating what may seem to be abnormal symptoms and make sure your partner knows that foreplay only makes it better for the both of you!

Q.) I recently found out i contracted an STD from a guy I always use condoms with, he's accusing me of sleeping around but unless I blacked out I haven't been with anyone else, the STD makes me look like a liar any tips?

A.) Unfortunately condoms aren't a sure fire way to stay STD free. It’s a huge let down but, it’s the reason why sleeping  around without a commitment/arrangement and new test results isn't the best idea.  If the skin of the vulva comes into contact with affected skin on the scrotum, you can still catch an STD. If sweat or body fluid runs from one infected area to another area an STD can be transferred. The safest sex isn't one with just Birth control its with honesty and knowledge about your partners doings.
