NEARLY half of British women don't know where their vagina is, a new worrying survey has found. Just in time for International Women's Day, a YouGov survey has found that 45 per cent of us can't label a vagina correctly on a diagram and don't know its function. Unsurprisingly, six in ten men don't know the various bits of a vagina and only 69 per cent could label the clitoris (which may explain a few things!). Researchers presented 2,010 British adults with a diagram of female genitalia and asked them to identify the various parts and functions.

Women, in particular, seemed to have a worrying lack of knowledge about how their vaginas worked, with half of women surveyed not knowing that you shouldn't wash the inside of your vagina. A third said they thought it should be washed daily, while one … [Read more...] about Half of Brits don’t have a CLUE where the vagina is… and it’s not just men!
