Who wants a portrait of their lady parts?
Every day for the last year and a half, Hilde Atalanta has painted a picture of one vulva. At first, inspiration came from her imagination; then, from the internet; and, most recently, from women who send her photos of their goods.
For the Amsterdam-based illustrator who also paints full bodies and faces, vulvas are compelling portrait subjects. “You have some people who have big noses, some have small noses, but in all those standard sizes, you have a lot of these tiny differences in character—it’s the same with vulvas,” she says.
A vulva, by the way, is the name for the visible part of what most people just dub "vagina." It encompasses all the external parts of the female nether regions including the mons pubis (fatty patch perched atop your pubic bone), the labia (inner and outer lips framing the vaginal opening), the clitoris and its protective hood, and more.
Together, Atalanta's colorful sketches make up The Vulva Gallery , an Instagram phenomenon showcasing more than 550 vulva illustrations. Her gallery, she hopes, will help people celebrate their down-there diversity, whether or not they identify as women. “We seem to strive for some kind of normal or perfect, but normal doesn’t really exist, so every vulva is normal in its uniqueness,” she says.
So true. "Some are wrinkly, and some are really tout, and some sort of gape a little; some completely close up the entrance to the vagina, and all of that is variations of healthy and normal," says Lee Roosevelt, Ph.D., a midwife and clinical assistant professor at the University of Michigan School of Nursing who just happens to see about 35 patients (and thus vulvas) per day.
Here's a sampling of some of Atalanta's awesome vulva illustrations, with expert commentary about what you're looking at, exactly. Full disclosure: After checking these out, you just may wind up deciding your vulva should be immortalized, too.

Researchers surveyed more than 3,000 U.S. women and found that 83.8 percent of them did at least some grooming, according to a 2016 JAMA Dermatology study . Young, white, and educated women, as well as women whose partners preferred it, were most likely to tend their gardens.
Perhaps that's why more women seem to be concerned about the size, shape, and color of their vulvas these days. "If you've got a forest, you can't see the rocks," says Lauren Streicher, M.D., an ob-gyn in Chicago and the medical director of the Center for Sexual Medicine and Menopause at Northwestern University Memorial Hospital, "and now everyone's looking."

Of course, not everyone's baring all. In her clinical practice, Roosevelt finds the bush is coming back. For some women, that's a good thing since it can mean avoiding shaving- and waxing-induced folliculitis (inflamed hair follicles), razor burn and other complications.
One study even found that the more frequently and completely folks groomed, the more likely they were to have STIs. (That may have to do with the little nicks hair removal can create in the skin, allowing bacteria and viruses to infect, but the study authors point out there's still no evidence that shaving causes the increased STI risk.)
While Roosevelt doesn't judge any grooming habits (or lack thereof), “the more we talk about vulva and its variations," she says, "the more accepting women are of their bodies and the more accepting they are of it in its natural state.”

Do your labia minora hang low? Own it, advocates Atalanta, who started what turned into The Vulva Gallery after learning about the global rise in labiaplasties.
“Cutting away a body part that is so sensitive, a very important part of your erogenous zone, something so delicate, just because you are afraid that your partner might not like it really hit me,” she says. (She’s cool, by the way, with such surgeries for physical comfort or medical reasons.)
Women’s health experts concur: Labia minora that aren’t so, well, minor aren’t only totally normal; in Roosevelt’s words, “they’re these pretty little wings.”
A post shared by The Vulva Gallery (@the.vulva.gallery) on Mar 14, 2017 at 10:09am PDT
Just like one boob is often bigger than the other, one side of the labia minora can be longer than the other. Nothing to worry about, experts say, although when both sides are super long, some women can experience issues like discomfort biking, embarrassment wearing yoga pants, or trouble peeing straight.
"There are some theoretical health concerns," of long or asymmetrical labia minora, says Karen Horton, M.D., a plastic surgeon in San Francisco who specializes in female cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, including labiaplasties. "But in the medical community, it’s normal and natural."
A post shared by The Vulva Gallery (@the.vulva.gallery) on Oct 28, 2017 at 6:13am PDT
Roosevelt can make a good guess about a woman's BMI and age just based on the looks of her mons pubis—the patch beneath the pubes. "It may be rounder, it may be thinner, how far it extends down before the labia split varies," she says, but women with more body fat tend to have plumper patches.
Women who've gone through menopause, on the other hand, may find theirs slimming, thanks to hormonal changes. "After menopause, you loose fat in your external genitalia," Horton says. In Asia, fat grafting procedures to fluff that deflated pillow are trending, she adds.

Vulvas don’t only differ in color person by person, but they often sport various shades in and of themselves. One of the most common patterns? Inner lips that are a shade—or 50 shades—deeper than the outer lips.
“A lot of women complain that their labia minora are too dark—they’re picturing these teeny little pink things,” Streicher says. But darker inner lips are totally normal.
Attempting to bleach them (or any part of your vulva) is a bad idea, Horton says. "Creams and lasers can create harm," like burns or increased sensitivity, she says. And some can even cause more pigment to form.

This clit don't hide, and that's no big deal since the size and visibility of the clitoris varies as widely as the vulva's other parts, experts say. The clitoral hood can be large or small or in between, says Horton, who occasionally performs clitoral hood reduction surgeries.
"The hood is basically folds of drapery, and a lot of women feel like they have fold after fold after fold of skin there," she says. But none of that matters when it comes to pleasure, Roosevelt says.
Plus, most women’s clitorises look more or less the same during arousal, when it swells and emerges from under the hood. "There’s not sexual response difference in women who have a smaller clitoral hood," Roosevelt says.

Whether the idea of a below-the-belt piercing arouses you or makes you cringe, “as long as they’re done by safe, experienced, clean piercers, there’s absolutely no risk,” says Roosevelt, who’s had patients who’ve loved their piercings, and others who’ve wanted them removed.
The key is understanding your anatomy. If, for example, your clitoral hood—the bit that’s often pierced—has always been fiercely protected by your your labia, a jewel may be jarring, for better or worse. Some women, Roosevelt says, “don’t want their clitorises stimulated when they’re sitting in a meeting.”
As for this vulva owner: “I like how it shines and how it surprises everyone who sees it," she writes. "My vulva shines, I shine and this is an awesome feeling!”

Texas attorney Samuel Cammack III has released police dashcam video that he says shows authorities subjected a black college student to a humiliating public body cavity search.
Cammack, who represents 23-year-old Charneisha Corley, told Houston’s Fox 26 News the video shows what amounts to an 11-minute “rape by cop” on June 21, 2015.
An officer “body slammed Miss Corley, stuck her head underneath the vehicle and completely pulled her pants off, leaving her naked and exposed in that Texaco parking lot,” Cammack said. “They then took Miss Corley and placed both ankles behind her ears spread eagle position and started to search for something in Miss Corley’s cavity in her vaginal area.”
“That was extreme, to pull my clothes down, in front of people,” Corley can be heard saying on the video after the search. “People were watching. You didn’t see people walking around?”
Investigators alleged they found 0.02 ounces of marijuana on her, though Cammack said that there was no marijuana, the Houston Chronicle reported at the time. Corley was charged with resisting arrest and possession of marijuana, both misdemeanors, but the Harris County District Attorney’s Office later dropped the charges.
Corley filed a multi-million dollar civil lawsuit against the Harris County Sheriff’s Office after the traffic stop. Two of the deputies involved the body cavity search were charged last year with official oppression. Those charges were dropped on Aug. 4, prompting Cammack to post the video on his website.
“Once the community sees this video, they’re going to be outraged, disgusted,” Cammack told Houston’s KTRK-TV .
The attorney did not return a request for comment from HuffPost on Tuesday.
Corley, in a 2015 interview with HuffPost , said she was running an errand for her sick mother when deputies pulled her over and accused her of running a stop sign. The deputy said he smelled marijuana coming from the car, which in Texas is probable cause to search a vehicle.
After a fruitless look inside the car, the lawman summoned a female deputy and events spiraled out of control, Corley said.
“They sexually assaulted, raped me and molested me,” Corley told HuffPost.
Harris County prosecutor Natasha Sinclair told FOX 26 News that she does not condone what happened.
“No one in this office stands by the search the way it was conducted,” she said. “No one thinks it’s appropriate. It should not have happened.”
However, Sinclair said the deputies actions did not amount to a criminal act.

Self-proclaimed ‘Headmistress of Pleasure’, Layla Martin, launched a photography project on January 17 aiming to help women see the beauty in their vaginas.
The project, aptly named ‘Your Vagina is More Beautiful Than You Think’, aims to highlight the difference between the way a woman sees her own vagina, and the way her partner sees it: to convert the self-consciousness of the former into the unwavering admiration of the latter.
In terms of the body image movement, it’s an issue missing out on the public acknowledgement it deserves.
Listen: Mia Freedman discusses her personal spat with Instagram and body image issues, on Mamamia Out Loud. Post continues after audio…
Martin’s touching video makes an effort to smash the self-consciousness many women experience when it comes to their vaginas.
“I guess I feel embarrassed but I don’t know why”, one woman says in the video.
“I’m a little nervous, because I should be more comfortable with that area of myself,” says another.
Four women of different ages, sizes and ethnicities posed for vaginal close-up photographs. The images were then printed, and handed back to them.
Upon being confronted with the images, the women begin to see their vagina for what it really is: a symbol of power; of beauty.
“It’s not as ‘ugly’ as I thought…”, one woman says, shy giggles muffling her words.
"I've literally been comparing something I see in my underpants to somebody else's... that you see in porn... I guess you watch porn and see 'the perfect vagina.'"
One woman was moved to tears by her image, saying, "It's a part of me that I just push to the back of my brain".
The images of each woman's vagina was then shown to her partner, who was then asked what he thought. The partners had no idea their reactions were being filmed.
"She's had a baby, you know... it's perfect," one partner says.
"It reminds me of how much happiness we've had together."

Lave-a apenas com água. Pode parecer estranho, mas usar sabonete, seja líquido ou em barra, não é o melhor método. Na verdade, a vagina se mantém limpa sem a necessidade de quaisquer produtos. [1]

Assim como outras partes do corpo, ela precisa ter um nível de pH de 3,5 a 4,5 para evitar o crescimento de bactérias ruins e facilitar o desenvolvimento das boas. Usar certos produtos pode desequilibrar o ambiente, levando a infecções, irritações e até mesmo cheiros ruins.
As pessoas geralmente se referem a toda a área íntima da mulher como vagina, mas se lembre de que ela é, na verdade, o músculo em forma de tubo que se localiza dentro do corpo. A vulva, a pele na parte externa da vagina, pode ser limpa com sabonete neutro, contanto que não irrite a pele.
Se for lavar a vagina com sabonete, enxágue bem com água morna para remover todos os traços do produto. Do contrário, pode haver irritação.

Não faça uso de nenhum spray feminino. Utilizar esses produtos, que prometem deixar a vagina cheirosa como uma flor acaba criando o efeito oposto [2]

, pois eles eliminam as bactérias boas que mantêm o local limpo e sem infecções. As substâncias químicas deixadas por eles podem causar irritação e até mesmo ardência. Se você se utilizar de outros métodos para manter o local saudável, não será preciso comprar nada para deixá-lo com um cheiro diferente.
Os cremes vendidos como uma maneira de mudar o cheiro da vagina causam os mesmos problemas; evite-os também. O mesmo serve para absorventes e lencinhos perfumados.
Se sentir necessidade de usar algum tipo de fragrância, escolha algo completamente natural e sem substâncias químicas. Uma ideia é misturar algumas gotas de óleo essencial (rosas, lavanda, capim-limão etc.) com água e colocar numa garrafa pulverizadora. Use após tomar banho e deixe secar bem antes de se vestir.

Tenha uma higiene bacana durante a menstruação. Muitas mulheres sofrem com um aumento de infecções vaginais durante essa época do mês, pois o sangue muda o pH do local e desequilibra as coisas "lá embaixo". Para se manter saudável, siga os seguintes hábitos:
Troque os absorventes internos com frequência. Eles absorvem a menstruação e, se ficarem muito tempo dentro da vagina, farão com que o sangue mude ainda mais o pH da área. Para evitar isso, troque o absorvente a cada poucas horas.
Não use absorventes externos por mais tempo do que o necessário. Utilizá-los o mês todo pode levar a uma irritação na pele.
Considere a compra de um coletor menstrual. Esses copinhos de silicone são inseridos na vagina para pegar todo o sangue; em seguida, são lavados com água quente a cada poucas horas. São livres de substâncias químicas e podem ser muito úteis caso a mulher costume ter irritações por conta dos absorventes.
