vaginapagina | A Quick Review

Hello superstars!

The following is a friendly reminder about rules, resources, and stuff brought to you by my predilection toward procrastination on the weekend (I hate vaccuuming!).

First up: the basics. You can read the FAQ about the community here, and can read the rules themselves here. If you've never read the rules, we would encourage you to take a second to do that now. Go ahead, I'll wait for you (I've got some macadamia nuts to snack on while you're busy reading up). You'll note the emphasis on safe space and empowerment. These are a couple of the things that make VP different from other places on the web, and we hope you familiarize yourself with them and help spread the VP revolution.

Now that you're back from reading up on the rules, we'll show off our stuff! We maintain a directory-of-sorts for member recommendations for health care providers. It's over here, and also linked from our super-helpful sidebar. It's a great resource, and if you've got a moment and a great OB-GYN/midwife/clinician to refer people to, go comment! We also have an ever-expanding Vulvapedia, with entries on such topics as menstrual products, safer sex, and HPV. We also have the Top Five FAQs, on hormonal birth control, emergency contraception, pubic hair care, urinary tract infections and yeast infections. Posts on these Top Five FAQs are subject to deletion, because often the questions asked are directly answered in the Vulvapedia. If we delete your post, it doesn't mean your question was silly, stupid, or that we hate you -- VP is just a really busy place, and we like to keep room on the main page open for other questions and concerns. The VP forums may be an alternative for those questions (and is just a good place to visit).

And lastly, the VP Team is here to help you make this community fabulous. We're a volunteer group of 11, and we share an addiction to the internet and a love of all things VP. If you would like to get to know the maintainer team, check us out here, and via our individual biographies. You can introduce yourself here, and put yourself on the map, too! You're also welcome to get in touch with us anytime, via email or
