Overhyped Ingredients & Underrated Areas: Beauty Reality Check

This week, listener Lauren (not her real name) asked what other Youbies were doing with their downstairs grooming in our Facebook group... And it sparked a huge debate. Turns out a lot of us are sporting the bald eagle, some going for a 'vagina mullet' while other listeners have gone full bush. But it's the reasons behind why we groom the way we do that got people talking. To help us settle this debate Kelly sat down with Lindy McDougall, author of the Perfect Vagina to chat about how partners, porn and social media shape what we do downstairs. THE END BITS Lindy's book, The Perfect Vagina is out now!
