Quim Blog | Vaginal Health Talk & Stories

Welcome to Quim Rock, a Lovers’ Lane for all who live to connect on a vaginal wavelength…

This platform is an open soap-box for self-identified experts (aka YOU) who use their first-hand knowledge to grow the conversation, shoo away the stigmas around vaginal everything, and ask questions bravely, secure in the knowledge that only #youknow.

It’s okay if you don’t have a PhD in women’s studies, or don’t really believe the physics of menstrual cups. It’s fine if you love threesomes, don’t trim your bush, masturbate every hour on the hour, or can’t find your libido just this second.

Regardless of your relationship with your vagina or your sexuality, we think it’s important to remember that you are actually the number one living expert on living in your body and— if you ask us— that makes you pretty darn qualified to have opinions on your wellness journey.

Meet us on Quim Rock for all your vag-forward talk. We’re here to connect, amplify your stories (or take your secrets with us to the grave), learn stuff and live our #cliteral truth… It’s too easy to forget what magic we are, so let this be a place we visit to remember. #Youknow

BABY, IT’S COLD OUTSIDE

It’s not just chapped lips and cracked skin, winter can also have a big impact on our libido.
