I loved this book！ I wish this book had been written 25 years ago as it would have been a really useful guide when I was a teenage girl。 And even as an almost 38-year old， I found some helpful information about things that I didn't realize I was curious about。 Having a daughter， and having gone through some of the books already out there about the female body， this will be the book that I recommend above all others。 I loved this book！ I wish this book had been written 25 years ago as it would have been a really useful guide when I was a teenage girl。 And even as an almost 38-year old， I found some helpful information about things that I didn't realize I was curious about。 Having a daughter， and having gone through some of the books already out there about the female body， this will be the book that I recommend above all others。 。。。more

I am a huge fan of Dr Jennifer Lincoln on TikTok！ While this book isn’t exclusively queer， it is written from a place of understanding about people who have vulvas， vaginas， etc！ And it uses inclusive language throughout the book！ She even goes into detail about the needs for people in the community！ 10/10 recommend！

I received an advanced reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley。I've never read a book regarding this subject before， but I was curious to try this one out。 I'm glad I chose it。 This book is so complete！ It has so much information and the author answers all the questions you have， and even the ones you've never thought about 。 The illustrations are simply perfect and I'm glad they weren't scared of painting pads with the right colour， showing menstrual cups I received an advanced reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley。I've never read a book regarding this subject before， but I was curious to try this one out。 I'm glad I chose it。 This book is so complete！ It has so much information and the author answers all the questions you have， and even the ones you've never thought about 。 The illustrations are simply perfect and I'm glad they weren't scared of painting pads with the right colour， showing menstrual cups and different types of vaginas， etc。 The text and the images complement each other。 It's probably the best book on this subject。 Rating: 5/5 stars。 。。。more

This book is inclusive， funny， and， informative！ I really like that the chapters are short。 You can flip through it in an afternoon or come back to it over a few days。 I think that this book would be great for any young adult who is trying to get in touch with their own bodies or might be getting in touch with other people’s bodies… ;）

This would be perfect for anyone who wants to know more about the female reproductive system and should be a recommended book for sex ed。 It includes information about pap smears which is nice for anyone who didn’t go for one yet！ Thank you to Netgalley for this arc ebook in exchange for an honest review。

Very good read for old and young females。 The questions were valid， and the answers were informative and easy to understand。 Highly recommended。 Thanks to Netgalley， the author and the publisher for the arc of this book in return for my honest review。 Receiving this book in this manner had no bearing on this review。

I think books like this one is so important in defining what is actually normal and healthy for female anatomy。 There is a huge mix of information not only from the internet but from companies that feed off of women’s insecurities， so it’s really refreshing to read clear and concise information that actually helps and steers you in the correct direction。 The information is honest and open。 Girls and women won’t get information that is dulled down or worded so it reflects the teachings of religio I think books like this one is so important in defining what is actually normal and healthy for female anatomy。 There is a huge mix of information not only from the internet but from companies that feed off of women’s insecurities， so it’s really refreshing to read clear and concise information that actually helps and steers you in the correct direction。 The information is honest and open。 Girls and women won’t get information that is dulled down or worded so it reflects the teachings of religious ideologies。 The writing is easy to digest， yet it doesn’t feel condescending。 The writing also has a lot of personality so you feel more like you’re talking to a person， rather than an informational book。 。。。more

I suppose I should have known what I was going to get from this book， but I went ahead and read it anyways。 And I was not surprised。 My first huge issue is how the author deals with minors who don't want their parents to know they are on birth control。 There is a reason that minors need parental consent for things， birth control among them。 By showing minors how to bypass their parents and keep this a secret from them， whether she intends to or not， she is implicating that parents do not need to I suppose I should have known what I was going to get from this book， but I went ahead and read it anyways。 And I was not surprised。 My first huge issue is how the author deals with minors who don't want their parents to know they are on birth control。 There is a reason that minors need parental consent for things， birth control among them。 By showing minors how to bypass their parents and keep this a secret from them， whether she intends to or not， she is implicating that parents do not need to know what their children are doing。 She also gives tips for minors who can legally get birth control but want to keep it a secret。 This is disturbing to me。 Secondly， she recommends Planned Parenthood and touts their many services。 Even Planned Parenthood admits that they are all about abortion。 They really haven't done anything for women's health care， and while abortions climb， their other services decline， and that is what they really want。 So I cannot recommend this book to anyone。Thanks to NetGalley for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest opinion。 。。。more

This is a comprehensive read for people with vaginas。 Perfect for pre-teens， teens， and maybe even young adults （or even some adults might benefit from going through it）。 It talks about most issues vagina-owners face and answers most questions， but doesn't make the answers boring or too scientific。 Although， I felt the answers could have been more detailed in a couple of instances。 But kudos to this books for being 100% LGBTQ+ friendly， that including trans， non-binary， and genderqueer people as This is a comprehensive read for people with vaginas。 Perfect for pre-teens， teens， and maybe even young adults （or even some adults might benefit from going through it）。 It talks about most issues vagina-owners face and answers most questions， but doesn't make the answers boring or too scientific。 Although， I felt the answers could have been more detailed in a couple of instances。 But kudos to this books for being 100% LGBTQ+ friendly， that including trans， non-binary， and genderqueer people as well。 Thank you， NetGalley for the opportunity。 。。。more

Over the past couple of years， there have been a number of books that focus on women's health issues， primarily the area known as "down there。" Told in a light tone， this never gets into too much depth but is good for those who want to know more about their own anatomy， especially teens and young adults （there's not much for menopausal and post-menopausal women）， although there could be a bit of controversy over the author's recommendations of getting birth control without parental knowledge。 Fo Over the past couple of years， there have been a number of books that focus on women's health issues， primarily the area known as "down there。" Told in a light tone， this never gets into too much depth but is good for those who want to know more about their own anatomy， especially teens and young adults （there's not much for menopausal and post-menopausal women）， although there could be a bit of controversy over the author's recommendations of getting birth control without parental knowledge。 For more in-depth information， my favorite is The Vagina Bible: The Vulva and the Vagina—Separating the Myth from the Medicine。 Another new book being published soon is Pussypedia: A Comprehensive Guide。 For anatomy information told in a light and sometimes hilarious tone， try Gross Anatomy: Dispatches from the Front 。Thanks to the publisher for the advance digital edition。To be published in September 2021。 。。。more

I was able to read this as an eARC from NetGalley and enjoyed every minute！ As a science teacher， I believe every teen should learn about their bodies and also the bodies of their potential partners。 This book covers topics ranging from periods to contraception to when it would be a good time to see a doctor。 There are great discussions about all bodies/smells/etc。 being normal and what to reflect on if someone is asking you to change。Dr。 Jennifer Lincoln includes many myths and misconceptions w I was able to read this as an eARC from NetGalley and enjoyed every minute！ As a science teacher， I believe every teen should learn about their bodies and also the bodies of their potential partners。 This book covers topics ranging from periods to contraception to when it would be a good time to see a doctor。 There are great discussions about all bodies/smells/etc。 being normal and what to reflect on if someone is asking you to change。Dr。 Jennifer Lincoln includes many myths and misconceptions with discussions about actual evidence and scientific studies。 The writing is very clear and at the same time engaging。 I especially found her sections about how young people can get on birth control if their parents aren't supportive and what to do when faced with an unintended pregnancy to be useful， sympathetic， and non-judgmental。Finally， the inclusivity of this book is amazing。 Dr。 Jennifer Lincoln uses inclusive language throughout such as "people who menstruate。" Even the illustrations are inclusive: there are illustrations of people with stretch marks， body hair， and different types of bodies。 There is even a section discussing alternative options for people who are transgender or nonbinary and may not feel comfortable seeing an ObGyn。Overall， I would suggest the book to any teen， parent of a teen， or anyone interested in learning more。 I hope to include this book in my classroom library someday。 。。。more
