[Rerelease] 'It doesn't mean you can't have sex': Living with vaginismus

Once a year since J* was 14 she would try insert a tampon. The Wellington woman, who wants to be known by her initial J, attempted the annual ritual without success for years, hoping that maybe one day it would finally work. What J didn't know at the time was that she has vaginismus, a medical condition where the vagina tightens up when you try insert something into it. Today on the show J chats to Cheree and Katie about the condition, how it's treated and how speaking up has helped both her and others.
We really loved having J on the show and hope you learn as much as we did!

This episode was recorded earlier this year and is being released over summer.
