In the latest episode of “Madge the Vag,” our fearless host, Madge, tackles an important topic: the often awkward conversation about using proper anatomical terms like “vagina” and “vulva” with our little ones. It turns out that calling our kids’ private parts a “front bum” might not be the most effective strategy after all.
As Madge dives into this delicate subject, she highlights how essential it is to embrace these words openly. Sure, our kids might blurt them out at the most inconvenient times—like during a family dinner or a quiet trip to the grocery store—but using proper terminology can empower our girls from a young age.
By saying “vagina” with confidence, we’re not just teaching them about their bodies; we’re fostering a sense of ownership and comfort with their anatomy. From toddlers to teens, understanding and using the correct terms can help dispel stigma and encourage healthy conversations about their health and well-being.
