S2 EP8: How I F*ck with Two Vaginas
5/18/2021
Show Notes
Katie and her husband were fooling around when they realized that there was something wrong with her vagina. Fast forward to some years later, and Katie is now a mother who skips pool days, invests in lube, and dreams of one day using a menstrual cup. She spoke with How I F*ck about what it’s like to live with Uterus Didelphys, a rare anomaly that can result in two uteruses, two cervixes, and two vaginas—which is what Katie has— and why it’s important that doctors not only listen to women’s pain but also their pleasure…or lack of.
