STAY PUSSYTIVE – we need to talk more about the vulva, the snippa & the vagina

The other day I received a text message from one of my closest girlfriends where she told me that she had bought each of us a keychain depicting a crocheted vulva with a small bead as the clitoris. I was so incredibly happy! Both because of receiving a gift completely unexpectedly and because she knows me so well and knows what makes me happy. Getting a keychain that looks like a pussy literally makes me overjoyed ❤ Between cooking and bedtime stories for the kids, we continued texting the rest of the evening about vulvas, pussies, vaginas, and why it is easier to say you have lice than to talk about itching in the genital area. That really triggers me. The injustice that women often have to suffer a little and that it also has to happen in silence. And that there is so much we still cannot talk about, that is embarrassing, and about everything we still do not know about our sex. Whereupon my girlfriend wrote: "By the way, I was at tantra two weeks ago and learned that we can have 10 different orgasms. I only knew about two!" So there you have it. Whether it is true or not, it is yet another proof of how little we know about our sex and how rarely we share experiences. I myself have probably never shared any personal experience of "different kinds of orgasms" with my girlfriends. To be honest, I have no idea if my friends even get a single little orgasm or have access to ten different varieties. In the ongoing conversation about the female sex, there can sometimes also be a misdirected anger towards men that focuses on comparing men's and women's "suffering" instead of focusing on the incredibly fantastic phenomenon of the vulva and, for example, highlighting what an impressive muscle the uterus is (if men had a uterus, they would definitely brag about it 😉). I must admit that there have absolutely been times when I angrily rattled off all the genital ailments women can suffer from to my husband in an attempt to demonstrate some kind of injustice between the sexes. Ailments that also include birth injuries, menopausal symptoms, and PMS, not to mention the "orgasm gap" where studies have shown that about 95 percent of heterosexual men have orgasms when having sex in a relationship, while only 65 percent of women do. Even though it is women and not men who (according to tantra) can have 10 different kinds of orgasms 😊 But I prefer not to go there. That I start to belittle and compare who has "suffered" the most. I think that is the wrong focus. It creates no good energy. The focus should be on uplifting, celebrating, and literally bragging about the female sex. That we demystify everything perceived as embarrassing and share our experiences with each other and also make sure to acquire lots of knowledge about our sex. That we, for example, learn everything about menopause and how our menstrual cycle works. That we take a look in a mirror and see how we actually look and yes... absolutely more knowledge about the female orgasm! In a previous blog Gynecologist answers questions you never dared to ask, gynecologist Arne Rådestad tells that many women have never ever looked at their genitals with a mirror. Arne also says that one of his biggest lessons as a gynecologist is the enormous variation there is in the female sex. That vulvas both look different and that there is also a big difference in how different women relate to their genitals. I wish we could talk a little more about that. Read the entire blog Gynecologist answers questions you never dared to ask here This week I received an email from one of our customers who had just written a wonderfully nice review of our self-test VagiVital VS for vaginal infections where she also reminded me of the importance of sharing our experiences: "I think it is so important that we talk openly about this subject. Pussy problems is really something I am passionate about, because I have had so many problems over the years. We women who have these problems need to get information like this. Hearing that you are not alone is so important! I hope the research on Pussy problems gets better!!" 🌸 VagiVital VS Self-test for vaginal infections can be found here I am so incredibly proud to work for VagiVital, which focuses on women's intimate health and with products that have actually been developed based on research. To highlight intimate health for women - in a natural and demystified way, with humor and a twinkle in the eye ❤ is so incredibly valuable. On my business card it says STAY PUSSYTIVE at the bottom for a reason. My CEO asked me a while ago what the term means to me and there are several answers to that question. For me personally, STAY PUSSYTIVE means a positive attitude towards the vulva. To have a curious attitude with a bit of humor and some "damn it" spirit. To "love the vulva" may sound a bit pretentious but I wish all women (and men) would remove everything that is embarrassing, guilt-ridden, or negative about women's genitals. Regardless of dry mucous membranes, foul-smelling discharge, birth injuries, urinary tract or yeast infections, and so on. All of that is also part of the female genital organ. VagiVital AktivGel for dry mucous membranes can be found here Of course, I understand that it can be incredibly difficult to "love your vulva" during periods of various ailments but maybe that is exactly when we should send a little extra love to our sex ❤? What does STAY PUSSYTIVE mean to you?

My name "Fanny" ironically actually means vagina, which I am incredibly proud of ❤
