This is a Vulva is bringing you an hour and a half of learning all the things you didn't learn about vulvas at school plus myth busting, shame smashing and the chance to make your own vulva.
If you have ever wondered 'is this normal' or 'does anyone else have this?', then this is for you.
If you have only ever seen vulvas in mainstream porn, this is for you.
If you can identify a labia minora from a labia majora at 10m, this is for you.
Whether you think you are a vulva novice or a bit of a vulva pro, you will learn new facts and leave feeling prouder of and more in love with vulvas than ever before.
Previous partiers have said "you've made me realise I'm normal" and "I had no idea vulvas all looked so different".
Where?
Zoom! I'll send you the link on the day.
Craft materials
UK people, I'll send you some craft materials to make a vulva with. You'll also need scissors and glue.
Non UK people, sorry but it's too many pennies to send materials to you. But find some coloured paper and join in!
Who's welcome?
Absolutely everybody is welcome - you do not need to have a vulva to attend. Cis, trans, NB, vulva owners, penis owners, everyone.
Do I need to talk, take part or show my face?
Nope. Feel free to have your camera off and say nothing if that's your jam. I'll be asking occasional questions and there's a period pub quiz but there's no pressure to participate if you don't feel like it.
Why is it called a Period Party?
I started these events as way to make money for ever brilliant Bloody Good Period, the people giving menstrual products to those that need them. People like asylum seekers, refugees and rough sleepers.
They provide period products. I was having a party. Period Party was a great name. I still raise money for Bloody Good Period - a third of the profits go to them. But the emphasis of the events now is more on vulvas. But it's just such a great name, right?
Who is This is a Vulva?
Hello, I'm Jo. I'm the founder of This is a Vulva. It's a sex education project that helps us learn what vulvas are (not vaginas), what they look like and what is normal (spoiler, it's all normal). It's about understanding vulvas, celebrating their diversity and ultimately reducing the number of people wanting labiaplasty because they think their labia look 'wrong'.
I run an Instagram feed full of vulvas, information and stories about my periods, plus I run these events because I love talking about and making vulvas.
