Ivy assigned the letter "V" to me, and now I'm to talk about 10 words that start with said letter. I said I'd try to do a women's health thing with it, so here we go:
Vagina - the vagina is just the canal, people. It is not the whole of the female genital area. Also, it is self-cleaning, and does not require the use of douche. Are we clear now?
Vulva - Vulva - now that's the word you were looking for. The vulva is the external female genital region, including the labia, clitoris, and urethral and vaginal openings. Check out the vulva puppets.
Vulvodynia - chronic vulvar discomfort or pain, see the National Vulvodynia Association
