20 Things Every Woman Should Know About Her Vagina

  • 2 of 4
  • How you choose to decorate is completely personal. Waxing, shaving, tattooing, piercing, or simply going au natural. It’s your choice, and don’t let anyone else pressure you into doing something that doesn’t resonate with you.
  • The vagina is like a bicep. Use it or lose it. If you don’t have a partner, pick up a battery-operated boyfriend to help keep things healthy as you age. But don’t worry- it’s usually not an issue until after menopause, when fragile vaginal tissue can scar and shrink. If properly tended, your vagina will be able to pleasure you until the day you leave this life.
    5 Ways to Boost Your Libido
  • While men do pee out of the penis, women do not pee out of the vagina. Know your anatomy. There are three holes and countless other sexy structures. Find your way around on the Pretty Pink Pussy Tour. Get a hand mirror and go to town.
  • The vagina doesn’t connect to your lung. If you lose something in there, don’t worry. Reach in all the way and pull it out. Do not- I repeat- do not, go hunting for whatever you’ve lost with a pair of plyers. If you think you put something in there and you can’t find it, chances are good that it’s simply not there. Think of your vagina as being like a sock. If you lose a banana in a sock…it stays in the sock.
  • Yes, it’s true- your vagina can fall out. Not to belabor the sock metaphor, but it can turn inside out just like a worn out sweat sock and hang between your legs as you get older. But don’t fret- this condition- called pelvic prolapse- can be fixed.

    This was an excellent article. I have always been amazed that many women feel that their vaginas are not attractive, personally each and every vagina that I have had the pleasure of interacting with has been beautiful!

    Why do women authors, of all people, appear to portray themselves as an enlightened and sophisticated adult woman and then, still use the term "pussy" as in; "...it's supposed to smell like pussy" (and then compound what I consider to be an insult by discussing the "ordering of fish?") Well, Ms. Eve Ensler... grow up and call a vagina a vagina, which is what grown-ups call it... and, if your vagina smells like fish after you take a simple shower, then I suggest you see a gynecologist to find out what's wrong. Although I can't compare myself to others, I am going to safely suppose that I'm not the only woman who DOESN'T "naturally stink nicely like a fish dinner" after I shower... thank you very much and "Amen, sister," to you, too, just to be polite... although the context and meaning of that little added declaration; (or unnecessary doo-dad?) escapes me.

    it's amazing when everyone's hearts beat together for the same cause what can be accomplished...even…

    I am reminded of King Lear -- "How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child!"…

    Hahaha, woman's laugh is almost as funny as the cat

    Interesting, thanks for sharing.
