We Need to Talk About Vaginas

Paperback

Synopsis

We Need to Talk About Vaginas is the critically acclaimed, beautifully illustrated puberty guide that finally answers the questions tweens are too embarrassed to ask.


There are lots of reasons why we don't talk about vaginas. It can be embarrassing to discuss your vagina with your parents, we can feel confused about the changes that are happening to our bodies, and nobody else talks about vaginas – so why should you?

But KNOWLEDGE IS POWER people! The more we know about our vaginas and vulvas the better equipped we will be to deal with our bodies in the future. In this beautifully illustrated book, TikToker Dr Allison Rodgers simply explains everything from why we have periods to sex and consent in the age of social media.

You'll learn the correct names for everything, realise pubic hair is TOTALLY NORMAL, and discover the magical self-cleaning properties of vaginas.

Perfect for girls aged 10-14 and ideal for starting those awkward conversations, this essential growing up handbook covers menstruation, body diversity, and female health with warmth and honesty. A thoughtful gift for any young person navigating puberty.
