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. For starters, the winter’s lack of sunlight—and thus vitamin D—can take a toll on our bodies in more ways than one. Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.) is linked to this decreased daylight and affects over 10% of the […]

SQUIRTING 101

Squirting is a colloquial term used to describe when a person with a vulva releases fluid from the urethra or vulva area during arousal.

What My Vagina Taught Me About Being A Man

Some men have vaginas. This has become a mantra for me and is of *peak* utility when occupying binary gendered spaces like public restrooms, locker rooms, and the occasional visit to the OBGYN. The first year into my medical transition, when I began navigating spaces designated for “Men,” the cis-normativity of it all left me […]

know yourself, one kegel at a time

I think about kegels maybe once a week. I think that’s about where kegels are in the culture, no? Somewhere between, Am I supposed to be doing these in my office chair? And, Kegel weights?? Cosmo wants me to stick pastel green weights in there like I’m Rhonda A-rousey?? (sorry). First off, let’s dispel that […]
