“We believe that it is time to come together to educate, demystify, and celebrate the holiest of holes, the PUSSY!! Yoni, vulva, twat, cunt, pussy, vag or snatch – We don’t care what you call it, just come and get the facts.
Va-Jay-Jay Day is an educational and community building event based on the topic of pussy, wombs, menstruation, fertility and the female reproductive system. We are gathering around the common experience of having bodies that were assigned female at birth, regardless of gender identity.
After thousands of years of womb shaming we are calling in a safe and private space to speak about our anatomy with others who share our experience. This is a place to go deep and to heal while celebrating that fact that we have the most glorious life force and we deserve to know how to use it ♥”
We will be discussing:
– Cervical Self Exam:
We will do a live demonstration and help others to do self exam for themselves, too if they’d like! No pressure to participate if you don’t want to. There will be speculums for use (or sale if you’d like to keep one for future use), but please bring your own flashlight and mirror if you can.
– Fertility Awareness Method:
Breaking free from invasive hormonal and internal birth control methods like the IUD, the shot, the pill, etc. and using natural methods to chart your cycle and understand the signs your body is giving you.
– How to Stay Out of the Gynecologists Office:
Home remedies for common vaginal conditions, herbal alternatives, and a Q&A where we can all share our experience with one another
