Think you know about vaginas? Think again. In the four-part series running from now through November, we find out that even the most basic of body knowledge is lacking – people still don’t understand what vaginas look like or how they function.

Mona and Mae speak to a doctor who thinks periods are unnatural, a former Olympian, a menstrual blood artist and a formerly incarcerated woman to find out if we should stop having periods.
Episode 3Episode Three: The Orgasm Gap min
Women are less likely to orgasm than men – but is it really more difficult for women? Mona and Mae go into the lab with a neuroscientist who measures orgasms to try and find the answer.
Episode 4Episode Four: What you didn't learn in sex ed min
It’s not just about sex. Sex education should be giving us the information we need to feel in control of our bodies and make informed decisions about them – but it’s failing. In episode four of Vagina Dispatches, we speak to our moms, friends and sex educators to find out why. Then we give the basics on some topics that are missing from the curriculum, from discharge to menopause.
