Vulvaversary! - a podcast by More Banana

In this two year anniversary special, Jessy and Rebekah revisit Vulva Shame, the topic of our very first ever episode! We do a bit of a deeper dive into labiaplasty and go into why (mostly young) women get it and how the patriarchy is pedaling bullshit insecurities in order to control women’s sexual empowerment and enjoyment. We also talk about a bunch of other nonsensical things such as vaginal steaming and shooting ozone up your hoo-ha. Give us a listen and don’t forget to rate and review us! It makes a HUGE difference.

04:30: Check out this study done in Britain that says that there is no such thing as a “normal” vagina.



06:30: Here is an abstract of Jessica Malone’s publication, “Women and genital cosmetic surgery” from the journal Women’s Health Issues Paper and another (free!) article that uses Malone’s work as a reference. It is called “In their own words: a qualitative content analysis of women’s and men’s preferences for women’s genitals,” which is, you know, telling.



07:30: As promised, here is the epic Camel Toe video! Make sure to subscribe to see all of Jessy’s awesome videos the second they are released!



15:00: Check out our episode with Diana all about her double mastectomy without reconstruction following her battle with reoccurring breast cancer.



16:00: Here is the FDA release advising people not to use “energy-based devices” in order to perform rejuvenation. You can also read more about it in The Daily Beast, which quoted past president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, Scot Glasberg, as saying, “without long term studies, it’s hard to know what the risks will be.”



23:00: Here is an article from Vice all about the effects of piping ozone into your vagina and a response to that piece from Dr. Jen Gunter.


26:40: Yes, wormwood contains thujone which is a hallucinogen. You would actually need quite a bit of it to do harm by orally ingesting it but vaginally? Seems risky.


31:15: Here is an article that debunks a lot of myths and also talks a bit about perineoplasty – the surgery that reconstructs the vaginal opening which, according to Dr. Jen, helps with childbirth scars heal poorly.


40:15: The gallbladder stores bile that is produced by the liver!
