2. Wiggle your toes to stay relaxed
3. Take slow, deep breaths
4. Request the smallest speculum that’ll work for you
5. You can always ask to insert the speculum yourself!
6. Talk to your doctor during the exam to distract yourself

your va**na cleans itself?

Your va**na naturally secretes fluids, or “discharge,” that keeps itself clean! Scented soaps and perfumed products can throw off your va**na’s natural pH levels and cause irritation and infections. To clean your v***a (the external skin on both sides of your va**nal opening) soap and warm water is all that is needed.

Never 👏 shame 👏 someone’s 👏 status 👏! There’s a lot of stigma around STIs so let’s be clear:

📌 STIs are extremely common – more than half of s*xually active adults will have one in their lifetime.
📌 Your STI status doesn’t make you “clean” or “dirty”
📌 STIs are like any other infection – s*x just happens to be the way they’re passed.
📌 The ONLY way to know your status is through testing. You can have an STI without symptoms.
