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.

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.

Every woman should take care of herself. Herself means the "vee" too. A woman can take care of her vee in many ways: medically, fitnessly, sexually.
I like this book, Thinx and Dr. Conti (italoamerican, yeah) did a good job together.

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.

Every vagina owner needs this manual in their life! It's simply perfection!

From menstrual cycle to anatomy to menopause to taking care of your vulva, this book has everything. Including great essays about sex ed, sex workers and more.

And the illustrations are amazing!

I honestly wish I had this book when I was a teenager. The Vagina Book: An Owner's Manual for Taking Care of Your Down There, by Thinx with Dr Jennifer Conti is an in-depth text with no-nonsense explanations of the Vagina, Sexual Health, Hormones - everything to do with the reproductive system. Margaret Cho provides a relatable, yet hilarious introduction to this beautiful text, explaining (without embarrassment) her own experiences learning about the Female Reproductive Organs.

In my honest opinion, this is a brilliant book that I'd hope to give to my Teenage Daughter, one day.

I received a complementary copy of this book from the publisher and Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

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!

Probably the coolest sex-ed book out there. The book covers a lot of ground from vaginal health to social justice for sex workers and everything in between. Although there are many topics, it is laid out in a "magazine-esque" style, so they are short and concise descriptions rather than in depth analyses. The illustrations are fabulous. Occasional topics may seem risque, but the point is to destigmatize such topics so we can move forward from causing unnecessary shame.

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.
