Looks like I'm going to be on @BBCRadio4 @BBCWomansHour tomorrow, discussing worries women (particularly teens & young people) have re. how their vulvas look. Do you have a story (can be anon) about your own vulva image? Concerned about how your child feels about theirs? THREAD
If you haven't always felt at peace with how your genitals look, or have perhaps considered labiaplasty, I'd like to hear about the factors that influenced your feelings, & what (if anything) has helped you overcome body image issues re. your vulva
For clarity, this particular discussion will centre on cis women who feel pressure for their vulvas to look a certain way, not trans individuals who might be experiencing dysphoria (love to you too <3).

I'm also keen to hear from you if your child is experiencing worries about what their vulva looks like, which are compounded by lockdown (e.g. no access to private chats with a trusted teacher/GP/other adult & doesn't trust "biased" opinions from/want to chat to parent)
