Go ahead, ask your friends or your mom - how do they refer to a vagina? Oprah calls it the "vajayjay", my cousin Jeannene calls it a "foo foo". Whether it is a flower (hi MJ!), a no-no, or even a cupcake, we need to address the vagina in the room. Why do we have so many words for our vaginas when we are so incredibly embarrassed to talk about it? Does it smell, does it drip? squeak? sweat? Whatever it does, it is a part of us and we need to stand up for it! We need to keep it healthy and make sure we understand when something is different or changed so that we can take the best care of it - because we are going to have it for the rest of our lives and we need to made sure we can talk about it. Let's make taking care of ourselves, and our vaginas, a bid deal. (Don't worry, I'll talk about penises too in an upcoming blog!)
