Forget navel gazing...get out that mirror!
Warning: Links contain lots of talk about girlie bits and not in the happyfun way..

So over on stupid_free, a post is made mocking a post in vaginapagina discussing using hydrogen peroxide to cleanse themselves. wieimmer starts off the fun with this:

Oh, gosh. I'm a girl and I totally cringed at that. Seriously, can there be a TMI note? As much as I appreciate vag-cleaning tips, I'd appreciate a bit of a warning before I click on that. D:

People basically tell wieimmer to grow up, and how could she consider the links TMI when it says right in the post what it's about. Things still aren't horribly wanky until this exchange takes place:

bluemamie: If you were my daughter I'd send you to the bathroom with a hand mirror and some Planned Parenthood tracts. Stat.
:)

dindin: Because no one's ever complete without having examined their vagina with a hand mirror.

chrushdmb: actually, every women should examine themselves with a hand mirror.

dindin: Um, no. Every "women" doesn't need to, really. Frankly I have better things to do with my time and I'm well acquainted with my own anatomy.

crushdmb: Yes, yes you should. I've had doctors actually suggest it. And how long would it take? Five minutes? Tops? And what is more important than your health?

dindin: Hey, you want to sit around with a hand mirror, and your own crotch be my guest. I'll take care of my own health, thanks.

And it just goes downhill from there.

See, now I know that when my OB-GYN was prescribing me the Nuvaring and prefaced it very gently with, "are you going to be okay with touching your vagina?" I shouldn't have looked at her like she was riding the crazy bus.

Because there are, apparently, grown women who are freaked out over it. The fuck? Or rather, the lack of fuck?

NOTE TO THESE LADIES:
Vagina dentata is a catchy turn of phrase that has no basis in actual anatomy. You won't lose a limb, I swear.

	Totally agreed with the first part of your comment. I never realized there'd be people over the age of "just had the first visit with the gyno" who'd flip out at the suggestion that they might need to do self-exams for some reason, or put something inside them. (Reply to this)(Parent)
