In this two year anniversary special, Jessy and Rebekah revisit Vulva Shame, the topic of our very first ever episode! We do a bit of a deeper dive into labiaplasty and go into why (mostly young) women get it and how the patriarchy is pedaling bullshit insecurities in order to control women’s sexual empowerment and enjoyment. We also talk about a bunch of other nonsensical things such as vaginal steaming and shooting ozone up your hoo-ha. Give us a listen and don’t forget to rate and review us! It makes a HUGE difference. 00:34: Want to listen to our original Vulva Shame episode? Find it here! 01:00: GIVE US YOUR MONEY!

It is called “In their own words: a qualitative content analysis of women’s and men’s preferences for women’s genitals,” which is, you know, telling. 07:30: As promised, here is the epic Camel Toe video!

You can also read more about it in The Daily Beast, which quoted past president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, Scot Glasberg, as saying, “without long term studies, it’s hard to know what the risks will be.” 23:00: Here is an article from Vice all about the effects of piping ozone into your vagina and a response to that piece from Dr. Jen Gunter. 26:40: Yes, wormwood contains thujone which is a hallucinogen. You would actually need quite a bit of it to do harm by orally ingesting it but vaginally? Seems risky. 31:15: Here is an article that debunks a lot of myths and also talks a bit about perineoplasty – the surgery that reconstructs the vaginal opening which, according to Dr. Jen, helps with childbirth scars heal poorly. 40:15: The gallbladder stores bile that is produced by the liver!
