We get a lot of questions about which period products are ‘best’ and the bottom line is that it’s always a case of personal preference! • Some people love menstrual cups - they’re reusable for years and so are one of the most sustainable options. They’re also lower cost long term because they don’t have to be purchased monthly like tampons or disposable pads. Swipe across for more info on them. • Other options include tampons, reusable or disposable sanitary pads and period pants. There’s no ‘best’ product - just what’s best for you. If anyone has more questions about period products feel free to DM us! Illustrations by the wonderful @eviekarkera❣️ • #periodproducts #periods #menstruation #menstrualcup
One of our amazing anatomy illustrations by @eviekarkera 💓💓💓 we use this one to teach about the vagina and what goes on during the menstrual cycle! #knowyourbody #vaginas #sexed #anatomy
YES YES YES to this! Repost from the amazing @shrimpteeth 💥💥💥💥 . . . Original caption 🙌🏽 “Sexual rejection is just a normal part of having sex. You WILL get rejected. You need to be ok with that fact. You’re allowed to be disappointed. You’re not allowed to try to convince, coerce, swindle, rage, belittle, or be disrespectful in any way. No is no. Absolutely nobody owes you sex. Everyone is allowed to make their own choices. “No” is just a preference, and trying to change people’s minds is nuts. No is entirely as valid as yes. If you can’t handle no, then do work on yourself before you continue having partnered sex. You’re putting other people in danger and that’s never ok. 💜 I’m available for peer-support sessions if you want to chat about ENM, Queerness, Love, Sex ❤️💃🏻❤️💃🏻” . . . #sexpositive #sexology #queerart #radicalselflove #sexy #feminist #feminism #loveyourself #love #relationship #couple #respect #lgbtq #sexuality #sexeducation #womenempowerment #art #artist #design #doodle #drawing #sketch #graphicdesign #digitalart #procreate #sketchbook #illustration #cauliflowerhour #shrimpteeth
YES @eveappeal 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 We’re taking the #VulvaVow 👏🏼💥 . . . “Take the Vulva Vow to know the difference between a vulva and vagina, and use the word vulva openly and without shame, because vulva is NOT a swear word! ⠀ . . Take 5 seconds to share and tag 5 friends, one for each gynae cancer” #TalkingTaboos #EducatingEve
We have ENDLESS appreciation for @frizzkidart 🧡 Check out original caption below 👇🏽 . . . Today’s affirmation art: Your body is not a prize to be won, merely a tool of labour, or a platform for debate. Your body is yours. 💛✨ #art #artist #illustration #feministart #feminist #affirmation #selflove #healing #selfcare #bodypositive #bodyposi
Today we’re celebrating #nationalplaydohday! 🎉👏🏼⚡️💥 . . . We love using #playdoh in our workshops. We wanted to come up with a creative and engaging way to help young people understand their bodies. We decided to try using modelling clay and have never looked back ⚡️In lots of our workshops we make vulvas and penises and talk through terminology, what different body parts do and how they work together. We always use "people with vulvas" and "people with penises" rather than “male” or “female” and talk about what it means to be intersex too. The play doh structures always vary in size, shape and colour - which we love! . . .

Repost @itsweezydrawin 🙌🏽 #havenofear #getyoursmear ✨✨Info on smear tests below 👇🏽 Go and follow @itsweezydrawin for more gorgeous pro smear art work! ⚡️ . . . Cervical screening (sometimes called a smear test) is a free health test. It helps prevent cervical cancer by checking for cell changes on your cervix. If you live in the UK you are automatically invited for a smear test if you’re registered as female with your GP and between the ages of 25 to 64. The test only takes a few minutes and your whole GP appointment should be around 15 mins . . . #gynaecologicalcancer #smeartest #gynaecology #femaleempowerment #women #cervicalcancer #support #charity #womensupportingwomen #wellness #health #illustration #speakup #selflove
Beautiful art and important message from @yourewelcomeclub 💕💕💕 Original caption below👇💥 . . . We are all different. This means each of us has different preferences and needs regarding interaction with others. Different boundaries. What’s OK for you might not be OK for someone else. Always ask for consent. Whether it's for giving a hug, holding hands or touching someone else's body (even a shoulder or arm). No means No, and silence doesn't mean Yes. If you forgot to ask consent, you can always take a step back and mention this, for example by saying: 'Oh, I totally forgot to check and ask for consent – was this alright for you? I'm sorry if it wasn't, we can find a way of interaction that feels comfortable for you and I'll try my best to do better in the future.' Consent isn't 'sexy' – it's necessary and it's a basic ingredient of safe and respectful human interaction. 🧡 . . . [#imagedescription: Illustration of two individuals standing next to each other. The individual on the left has short red hair in a buzzcut, pale skin and cute leg hair. They have two earrings and a tattoo on their arm with the word 'SOFT'. They are wearing a yellow shirt with a brown leopard print, grey short jeans and a grey scarf. The individual on the right has long brown hair and brown skin. They are wearing light blue dungarees and a yellow shirt. They are holding a drink in their right hand and they are flipping their hair up with their left hand. In between the individuals are symbols visible: a pink heart with a green question mark, and an orange hart with a yellow smiley; symbolising the interaction between the individuals. The individual on the left is blushing as they are asking for consent to kiss the individual on the right. Above the individuals are words floating, saying: 'Always ask for consent', and a blue smiling heart. The background has a soft pink hue.] ✨ . . . #yourewelcomeclub #alwaysaskforconsent #consent #consentisbasic #celebratediversity #diversity #genderinclusivity #nonbinary #lgbtqia #lgbtqiaplus #redhair #ginger #mc1r #femme #leghair #bodyhairpositive #thefutureisinclusive #supporteachother #respecteachother #positivity #illustration
We are still celebrating our amazing sex and relationships educator Gayathiri (@unembarrassable) being featured in @stylistmagazine. Guest edited by the amazing @jameelajamilofficial. Thank you @gemmadayphoto for the pics! Check out @unembarrassable (if you don’t follow already) link to the article in Gayathiri’s bio 💥⚡️
💥💥💥💥💥💥Repost from ultimate babe @rubyrare 💕💕 Original caption below 👇👇👇👇 A HOLIDAY WORTH CELEBRATING! 🏩 💥 Whether your orgasms are: - clitoral - internal (which is often still clitoral!) - penile - prostate - from other erogenous zones (nipples, ears, throat, skies the limit) - tantric - multiple - frequent or infrequent - from solo or partnered sex - subtle and tingly or intensely earth-shattering - experienced while using toys And many others, I hope you have a lovely day celebrating your body and all it's endlessly exciting possibilities 🧡 💥 If you're on the road to experiencing your first orgasm, FEAR NOT! I was unable to orgasm for the first 5 years of my sex life (until I was 20), and that is TOTALLY NORMAL. It can take a while to get mentally and physically in the mindset for orgasms - be kind to yourself, these things take time, but know that ORGASMS DO NOT DEFINE YOUR SEX LIFE. You can have a wonderful fulfilling time (solo or partnered) regardless of if there's an orgasm from you and/or your partner. And while we're at it, A PENILE ORGASM DOES NOT = THE DEFAULT END OF SEX! Ok? 💥 My libido is currently quite low, so I don't think think I fancy having an orgasm today, and that's OK. I'm still excited to celebrate orgasms existing in the world! And to reflect and be thankful that we have built a community where they can be discussed and explored safely. If you fancy celebrating by having the most epic wank, by all means be my guest, but the most important thing is to check in with your body and do what's right for you 🥰
@florencegiven is everything 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
