A fun, short, informative read for women of all ages. Might just have to gift this to my little sister when the time is right!

While most people reading this book are owners of a vagina, it is full of useful information that you may have never known or learned in health class. I was skeptical when I saw it was written by a period product company, but it was definitely an interesting read. I liked how it pointed out misinformation and misconceptions women have about our own bodies. A highly recommended read!

The blurb caught my attention but after that I lost my interest and didn't read this book. Maybe next time.

Informative, eye-opening and empowering. Let me repeat that: empowering! EMPOWERING. Everybody should read this book.

Thanks to Netgalley for a copy of the book

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. Interesting and informative, learned a few things.

I found this book so helpful.
It's such a taboo subject, so having a book that addresses many issues that we are afraid to talk about was so refreshing.
I didn't like the electronic format and found that hampered my enjoyment of the book a little. i wonder if I would have found it even more useful if it was in hard copy and I could flick through it and return to sections more easily.
Thanks to the publishers and Netgalley for the ARC to review.

A really great sex ed picture book for every vagina owner in the entire world!

Thanks Netgalley for giving me the PDF so that I can share my thoughts and opinions with y'all 💛

I received an advance reading copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.




This book is just brilliant,

Exquisite illustrations and great information.


I will recommend this to any customers looking for a book along these lines as it was perfect.

The Vagina Book is a book perfect for any young women to be informed about not only their bodies but also other aspect of women hood from mental health to periods. It features facts and stories from a range of different people related to topics from sex education in school to tips for reducing the effects of PMS.
The only thing confusing I found with this book is because it's sponsored by Thinx period undies, I don't know if its a promotional item or just a book thats sponsored.
Thanks to Netgalley.com and Chronicle Books for my complimentary eARC copy.

A great source for females of all ages. Covers a lot of topics from anatomy that is not taught and yoga for PMS to sex education policy and sex worker social justice. It is laid out in a way that is very digestible and the illustrations are lovely.

I loved this book! I loved the detailed informative information given. This was one book that gave me information that I was not aware of and was definitely a page turner!

From the introduction by Dr. Jennifer Conti, I was sold on this book.
Conti is dedicated to being a objective doctor who is there for her patients and their needs and that comes through in the first couple pages of this book. I loved reading a book about some things that I already knew about my body but, also about things that were new information. I just wish that everyone with a vagina or those who love someone who has a vagina would read this book as well. Conti really makes in known that people who have vagina's don't always live an easy life because of the body parts we have, but despite the challenges that we face we can kick-ass in life.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC.
The author has explained everything we need to know about vagina in easy and interesting way. A must read book.

The author provided much needed information on topics that many women may be embarrassed to ask their doctor about. The information was presented in an organized and easy to understand way.

I requested and received an e-ARC of this book from Thinx, DR. Jennifer Conti, and Chronicle books through NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

I found this book to be very informative and my younger self would have appreciated a book like this very much. I like most girls taught myself how to use tampons, I think my sister and I had our periods for two or three years before our parents figured out we were menstruating. There was no conversation about which products were best or how we felt it was just acknowledged and end of conversation.

I would have liked a little bit more information about the products that are available today and how to choose the one that is right for you. As we all know choosing feminine hygiene products for the first time can be overwhelming and you can never have too much information.

Overall, I think this book did a great job of de-stigmatizing female health and will hopefully start a lot of great conversations.

Give this book to every single teenage girl in the world. I wish someone had spoken to me as openly and honest as Conti does in this book. From contraception, periods, safe sex, and anatomy, this book covers everything you have ever questioned or had concerns on. It’s beautifully illustrated and written in a way that educates without any judgment. If I ever have a daughter you’re damn sure I’ll be giving this book to her. Hell, I’m about to be buying this book for every teenage girl in my family.

This is a book sponsored by Thinx, a brand for period underwear. And it‘s a fantastic ressource for anyone with a vagina. I found myself alternating between wishing I had owned this book when I was a teenager and looking forward to giving a manual this helpful to my daughter.

Imagine: I go back to school, study astrophysics, become the world's most experienced astrophysicist, invent the world's first time machine, take this book, go back in time, and shove it in front of every person with a vagina on their thirteenth birthday. I LOVE this book so much. It was absolutely thrilling, which, believe me, is not what I expected to say about a book about vaginas. The amount of information they have included this book makes me giddy and so, so, SO excited for young girls everywhere. Hell, even young adults. Proper, fully-grown adults. I've been on this planet for 25 years, and I learned so much from this book. It's incredibly reaffirming. Every page made me feel immeasurably comfortable by simply reminding me that I am NOT ALONE. We are NOT ALONE. There is an incredible group of people out there that should exist to support one another, and throughout history, we NEVER HAVE. From periods and vaginal health, to sex & contraception and wellness & self-care, this book covers everything you have ever wanted to know. Everything you ever NEEDED to know. Everything you didn't even know you wanted or needed to know. EVERYTHING!

Bonus things that particularly made me happy while reading this INCREDIBLY HELPFUL AND RESOURCEFUL BOOK:
-"we must understand that virginity is an idea formulated eons ago by people concerned with policing bodies with vaginas"
-"we must combat the bullsh*t around virginity and replace it with inclusive, healthy, and medically accurate sex education; we must do this because virginity simply does not exist"
-"if you find you're uncomfortable with some of your desires or their origins, or if there are certain practices that start to overwhelm your life, it's worth taking a look at what's driving you"
-the very concept of cultural orgasms
-the fact that not in a single instance did they reference girls or women (although I know I did, above), but instead PEOPLE WITH VAGINAS
-filmed pornography was invented almost at the same time as film, which means humans are kinky af
-"learning how to ask for, recognize, and give consent requires communication and emotional maturity"
-"the idea that sex is something men try to 'get' and women have to protect against, for example, takes away agency from both parties, and ignores queer identities altogether"
-"there are three parts of a person's gender: body, identity, and expression. All these parts operate independently"
-the fact that they included talking about sex workers and their rights!!!
-this sentence: "opt for slower, low-impact exercise [while on your period] like yoga, Pilates, or walking to the store that's kinda far from your apartment but carries the ice cream you like (it counts, OK?)"
-this sentence, also: "and hey, maybe anyone who thinks they deserve an opinion on your pubes doesn't deserve access to your vagina, just a thought"
-advice on finding a therapist to work on your mental health, which is a huge part of owning a vagina!! (and life, in general)
-of course, like any good non-fiction book, including a list of other reading resources for further information

Things that Did Not Bring Me Joy that I learned:
-reminding me that free healthcare does not exist in Some Parts of the world, and lack of access is often the most debilitating thing when it comes to taking care of yourself
-the fact that I was never once introduced to the concept of a female condom in school
-SIX different American states (Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Texas) all have laws that PROHIBIT the mention of homosexual relationships apart from teaching that gay sex is associated with AIDS (particularly horrifying, imho)
-There is some underlying tones when you consider that the same states that try to implement "heartbeat bills" and other similar cutthroat laws are typically the same states that formed the Confederate States in the attempt to prolong slavery

Overall, an EXCELLENT book and resource for absolutely everyone. EVERYONE. I would happily read a book titled "The Penis Book" because everyone should know about human bodies. There is just SO MUCH TO KNOW and SO LITTLE that we learned. Learn it, appreciate it. Love it.

It's been so long since I've accepted an ARC for review, so I figured a book about vaginas written by a company selling special period underwear was as good a choice as any for diving back into book reviews. Although I wasn't originally familiar with Thinx, a quick browse of the company's website definitely opened my curiosity, although I'm not sure how likely I am to try these... unique.... products in the near future.

Anyways, I initially thought The Vagina Book might be intended for much younger readers, like the awkward books your mother pushes under the door around age 11 that awkwardly discuss arm pit hair and picking your first maxi pads .... but a quick flip to the chapter showing the best positions for period sex quickly changed my mind on the intended audience. I assume this book is more targeted to a slightly older crowd, mostly seeking validation and inclusivity more so than novel facts, as I think the personal stories that relate to the audience are probably a much bigger selling point than the facts (none of which are particularly new or earth-shattering). It was a nice touch to have authentically candid stories from well-known voices like YouTuber Ingrid Nilsen, who related her struggles balancing her emotional health during her menstrual cycle, making a familiar topic feel more relatable and a little less taboo.

The book focuses a lot on inclusivity of size, gender, and sexuality, which ventured into a little more politics than I was expecting. Again, there's probably nothing that you've never heard somewhere else here, but it's convenient and easy to have such an easily accessible collection of voices speaking on such a wide topic of women's issues.

Very interesting book covering specific topics that are not common at all. Vagina-relating topics have been considering a tabu for so long but it's time society just gets comfortable with talking about another human part. I wish I read this book before puberty.. well.. I'm glad my children will have access to this type of literature.
