What is it about saying the word vagina or speaking about intimate health that makes us cross our legs and head for the nearest conversation exit?! It's quite daft really as chances are we all have had similar concerns or problems. According to research conducted by intimate health experts Vagisil, a shocking 1,000 British women were discovered to have a significant lack of knowledge about intimate health...so why don't we talk about it ?
Some of the many facts from Vagisil research
- The average woman has said the word vagina 13 times in the last year
- · Perhaps worryingly 54% of women wouldn’t ask someone to have a look if they encountered a problem with their vagina
- · Those who would seek an outside opinion would most likely get a doctor to look at it (67%), while 50% would ask their partner
- · More than one in ten women thought the normal pH level of a vagina is the same as water (12%). A third thought it the same as the rest of a woman’s skin. 53 per cent thought neither. (Your vagina has a unique pH, normally between 4.5-5.0)
- · A third of women think the outside of every vagina pretty much looks the same
- 2% of women are uncomfortable even mentioning the word vagina in daily conversation
With this all in mind Vagisil have launched a brand new campaign to encourage us women to learn more about our vaginas.
