🌸 Pelvic Health Hack 2: Get to know your v***a
Knowing what’s normal for you is one of the most empowering things you can do for your pelvic health.
Many women tell us they only really looked at their v***a after giving birth — and realised they didn’t actually know what it looked like before.
Understanding your own anatomy helps you recognise what’s normal, what’s changed, and when something needs attention.
👀 Why it matters:
✨ For health – spotting skin changes, irritation or signs of infection early.
✨ For pleasure – understanding your own body improves comfort and confidence.
✨ For empowerment – body literacy is a form of self-care and self-advocacy.
🔍 Changes you might notice:
After childbirth: Temporary swelling, stretching, mild colour change or scar tissue at a tear or episiotomy site. These often improve over months.
With age or hormones: After menopause, tissue may become thinner, paler or drier due to lower oestrogen. This is normal but can be supported with moisturisers or local oestrogen if needed.
But pain, sores, new lumps, itching or tearing aren’t things to ignore. If something feels off, get it checked by your GP or a pelvic health physiotherapist.
Your v***a is part of your health, your sexuality, your identity — it deserves your attention and care.
