Girls, Let’s Talk About “Down There” | POF169

For so long, talking about periods, discharge, infections, smells, sex and how to take care of “down there” has been taboo, embarrassing, and associated with shame. NO MORE I SAY! Well, it’s not so much me saying it as it is my guest, Dr. Jennifer Lincoln!

She is passionate about helping girls, women, and those assigned female at birth understand their bodies. She’s the non-judgemental and knowledgeable friend we all wish we had!

In our conversation, we talk about:

How and when to start talking to your kids about their bodies, how they work and sex. How dropping the same and embarrassment are so important (because they are going to go somewhere for the information, and you want it to be you!)

Periods, PMS, the smell, and packing a “Period Kid” (genius!!)

Masterbation (look at it this way, it’s the safest sex they will ever have)

HPV vaccines, are they safe and necessary?
