The Love Your Vulva Project

  The Love Your Vulva Project is a craft-based project that empowers vulva owners by fostering the mind-body connection, promoting body positivity, and reducing the stigma and shame surrounding the vulva. 

Understanding and respecting one’s body is essential for true empowerment. The (sad) fact is, most vulva owners have never looked at their own vulva, couldn’t accurately identify the parts of a vulva, and feel some level of discomfort with or embarrassment of their genitalia. 

Societal stigma and taboo, unrealistic standards of beauty and sexuality, and a lack of sexual education are all detrimental to vulva owners around the world. Additionally, the lack of open and healthy dialogue about the vulva leads to shame, poor body image, anxiety, and a negative impact on health.

By encouraging body positivity and open conversations about the vulva, we can normalize diversity, counteract harmful media influences, reduce stigma and shame, and promote mental and sexual well-being for vulva owners, one vulva at a time.
