Your vulva isn’t something to be ashamed of - with Ellie Sedgwick (Comfortable In My Skin)

One in six people with vulvas reported feeling anxious or embarrassed about the way their labia looks. The recently published Labia Diversity Report from Women’s Health Victoria surveyed 1,030 women and people with labia aged between 18-50 about how they feel about their labia. They found 31% of those surveyed associated their labia with words like ‘weird’, ‘disgusting’ or ‘ugly’ and one in four Gen-Z were anxious about the way their labia looked.

In this special bonus episode of KICPOD, Laura sits down with Ellie Sedgwick, from Comfortable In My Skin, a platform where she shares photos and stories of the enormous diversity of labias that exist. Laura and Ellie discuss how Ellie went from contemplating a labiaplasty to taking photos of labia for a living, where the pressure to have a perfect labia comes from, and why no one needs to be ashamed of how their labia looks.

Intuitive Eating

Intuitive Eating

The ‘Anti-diet’, intuitive eating is a styling of eating you may have heard over the past few months, so we thought we would bring in our Keep It Cleaner Dietitian and Nutritionist, Marika Day to discuss what exactly this style of eating is. Marika describes intuitive eating as learning to trust and listen to your body and eat in response to what your body is telling you. We talk about the way in which we can integrate this approach to eating into our day to day lives, how to become aware of the reasons in which you might be eating by checking in with yourself plus answer questions from the community.
