roxymaybe's review against another edition
5.0
almost no mentions of fatness, and no scaremongering around 'obesity' (shouldn't be something i'm pleasantly surprised by in a book about *vaginas,* but here we are)
lisamchuk's review against another edition
5.0
Super interesting: I didn't understand all of it and will remember even less, but this is a must read for everyone with a vagina. This is well researched and she is certainly an expert on the topic, so the information is trustworthy. It's not a really a read front-to-back, but rather a good reference volume to dip into and out of as needed or as when you are interested in learning something about yourself. Highly recommend.

She has been called Twitter's resident gynecologist, the Internet's OB/GYN, and one of the fiercest advocates for women's health...and she's here to give you the straight talk on the topics she knows best
Does eating sugar cause yeast infections?
Does pubic hair have a function?
Should you have a vulvovaginal care regimen?
Will your vagina shrivel up if you go without sex?
What's the truth about the HPV vaccine?
So many important questions, so much convincing, confusing, contradictory misinformation!
So how do you separate facts from fiction? OB-GYN Jen Gunter, an expert on women's health--and the internet's most popular go-to doc--comes to the rescue with a book that debunks the myths and educates and empowers women
Discover the truth!
Thank you Goodreads and Kensington Books for the chance to read this book!!
Let me tell you I am a woman in her mid-thirties and there were things in this book that even I didn’t know about or thought one thing or told another and this book says the completely different thing. But also showing the reasons and examples why some of the things we have learned is not exactly right. The book was very educational. Happy reading everyone!!

informative
4.5
Just like a top reviewer on Goodreads has said, 'reading the owner's manual.'
The book is highly informative, comprehensive, and very useful for everybody who wants to expand their knowledge, regardless of whether they have a vagina or not. Although I am not an expert on female anatomy or have formal university education on human physiology, her broken-down explanations and the study references (that are so on point) have made me feel more informed without feeling dumb. Also, the chapters are thoroughly divided with topics that can be easily referenced or revisited without feeling like finding a needle in a haystack. I also loved how the author did a little tidbit on how to evaluate the legitimacy of online health information. Not to mention, her non-judgmental attitude towards many usual taboo topics surrounding sexual health is very reassuring.

P.S: I am subscribed to the author's substack newsletter, and she also does a great job there.
