    There is a word for that: VULVA. It is a very good word. Use it more, please!

    Was just in a sex shoppe looking at a product that claims it should be used on the EXTERIOR SKIN of the VAGINA.

    That's like saying lipstick is for the EXTERIOR SKIN of your ESOPHAGUS, goddammit. Or, zinc oxide is for the exterior skin of your sinuses. Ooh, and a condom is for the exterior skin of your urethra. WTF stoppit!

    There are a lot more parts to feminine genitalia, than the hole in the middle. Fucksakes.

    @violetmadder unpredictability in my timeline always makes me happy.

    A random topic from someone's life and their observation is a real treasure these days. 🙃

    @violetmadder sounds like a translation from Chinese to me. Usually whenever it sounds weird, translation might be at play.

    On a product, I once saw "prevent the inflammation of gyneacology"

    @samebchase

    We can hope that's all it is, but considering stuff like how the damned Vagina Museum decided to call itself the Vagina Museum even though most of their material involves vulvas, I suspect our culture has a real issue in this area.

    @violetmadder @troublewithwords

    that product sounds made by people so clueless it probably connects to the internet, has the word “smart” 12 times in the description, and needs software updates every 3 months…

    On the other hand, there are the labia majora and the labia minora, which are both layers/folds of the vulva. So maybe they wanted to make sure you didn't put any inside the labia majora, and only applied it where there were hair follicles and no mucus glands.

    They could have just called it the "outside of the vulva" or something less cringe than EXTERIOR SKIN.
