When it comes to breasts, vaginas, uteruses, ovaries and
cervixes – they’re magical, complicated things that we shouldn’t be nervous or
ashamed about when it comes to looking after them (even take a second right now

and time again but, still, people fall through the cracks because silence falls
across business houses and private spaces once again. But there are so many
services and so much information available all year round. Sure, it takes
setting aside time, setting aside resources and setting aside fears – but it’s
worth so much more to go before anything starts to hurt than wait for pain to
set in.

depending on their experience and temperament, but give it a go. You are
important and you deserve to be well.
