On the one hand, there are some pretty great elements: the vagina’s ability to self-cleanse, for example. Vaginas are amazing; but they can come with their own set of complications (at best) and uncomfortable, painful issues (at worst). One such issue? Vaginal thrush.
Show me someone with a vagina who’s never suffered from vaginal thrush and I’ll be begging them for their secret within two minutes. Which of us hasn’t been there? Itching that feels like it can only be soothed by running ice cubes back and forth over the vulva; a twanging pain that may as well be someone stabbing a needle repeatedly into the vaginal wall as you walk upstairs; a thick, cottage cheese-like vaginal discharge; the list goes on.
