So.. where should I start?

Know your anatomy

First, let's get to know the basics.

Do you know the difference between your vulva and vagina? Or where your clitoris actually is?

You don't need to be a biology expert. But knowing the names and functions of the different parts of your body makes it much easier to understand what's happening down there.

Start with:

→ [What Is a Vulva?]

→ [Vulva vs Vagina: What's the Difference?]

→ [The Complete Vulva Anatomy Guide]

→ [The Clitoris Explained]

Your takeaway:

You can't feel confident about a body you were never taught about.

Discover what's normal

Your vulva doesn't have to look like anyone else's.

Different labia. Different colours. Different shapes. Different amounts of hair. Different smells.

Bodies aren't manufactured to one specification.

And yet, many women spend years wondering:

"Does mine look normal?"

This section is about understanding the enormous amount of natural variation in vulvar anatomy — and knowing the difference between normal variation and a change worth getting checked.

Start with:

→ [What Does a Normal Vulva Look Like?]

→ [Why Do My Labia Look Different?]

→ [Why Is My Vulva a Different Colour?]

→ [Is My Vulva Normal?]

Remember:

Normal doesn't mean identical.

Learn how to look after your vulva

Your vulva doesn't need a 12-step skincare routine.

In fact, sometimes less is more.

Learn how to care for your vulva without falling for unnecessary products, confusing hygiene advice or the idea that your vulva needs to smell like flowers.

We'll talk about:

  • How to wash your vulva
  • Vaginal pH
  • Discharge
  • Vulvar irritation
  • Underwear
  • Pubic hair
  • Shaving
  • Period products

Start with:

→ [How to Wash Your Vulva]

→ [7 Things That Can Irritate Your Vulva]

→ [What Should a Healthy Vulva Smell Like?]

→ [Can Underwear Cause Vulvar Irritation?]

Remember:

Your vulva isn't dirty. It's part of your body.

Understand pleasure

Your vulva isn't just about reproduction.

It's also about sensation, pleasure and sexuality.

Understanding your anatomy can make it easier to understand what feels good, communicate with partners and feel more comfortable talking about sex.

We'll explore:

  • The clitoris
  • Sexual arousal
  • Orgasm
  • Lubrication
  • Pleasure
  • Pain during sex
  • Sexual confidence

Start with:

→ [What Happens to Your Vulva When You're Turned On?]

→ [Why Can't I Orgasm From Penetration Alone?]

→ [Why Does Sex Hurt?]

→ [Your Clitoris Is Bigger Than You Think]

Remember:

There is no single "right" way to experience pleasure.

Know when something isn't right

Google can give you information. It can't examine you.

This is an important part of The Vulva Voice.

We'll help you understand common symptoms and give you reliable information about when it's worth speaking to a healthcare professional.

You might be wondering:

Why does my vulva itch?

Why does it burn?

Why do I have unusual discharge?

Why does sex hurt?

Why has my vulva changed?

These questions are completely valid.

We'll explain common possibilities, but we won't diagnose you.

If something is persistent, painful, unusual or worrying you, we'll encourage you to get personalised medical advice.
