I really wish they had been able to show us real pictures of various healthy vuvlas and penises (particularly those that have longer/larger labia minora and men who are uncircumcised). I think since nudity is generally automatically equated with sex in this culture and for the most part we're not exposed to it on a regular basis, this would be a way to help alleviate the "am I normal" questions. And who knows, maybe it would foster some more body positive attitudes.
I also wish they talked about the alternatives to tampons and pads. And it would be nice if there was more emphasis placed on the variations of normal healthy vaginal discharge along with tracking your cycle with fertility awareness and how much you can learn about your body by using it (I don't see that happening though since there is so much misinformation and distrust of FAM out there). I've held the belief for a long time now that the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility should be required reading for teenage girls.
