FACTS ABOUT THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE ORGAN
1. “Vag!na” comes from the Latin root meaning “sheath for a
sword.”
2. There are 8,000 nerve endings in the clitoris, while the
penis only has 4,000. This is why the tiny area is considered
to be the most sensitive part of a woman’s erogenous zone.
Powerful sensations can spread across a woman’s pelvic area
by affecting 15,000 other nerve endings.
3. Vag!nas are lined with ringed muscular ridges. This helps it
expand when necessary, such as during intercourse or
childbirth. They expand up to 200 percent during intercourse
or childbirth.
4. A doctor once removed a potato that started sprouting
vines out of a patient’s vag!na. The patient told the doctor her
mother said it would prevent pregnancy. In that case, mother
didn't always know best.
5. Believe it or not, the first movie to use the word “vag!na“
on film was Disney’s “The Story of Menstruation,” released in
1946.
6. Vag!nas and sharks have something in common. They both
contain the substance squalene. This exists in shark livers
and is a natural vaginal lubricant.
7. In 2009, a woman reportedly set the vag!na weightlifting
record by lifting over 30 pounds. She attached the weight to a
wooden egg so her muscles could grab onto it. This gives
Kegel exercises a whole new meaning.
8. Vag!nas are also strong enough to clamp down on joysticks.
This is known as penis captivus. It is a rare occurrence in
intercourse when the muscles in the vag!na clamp down with
intensity on the penis, which makes it impossible for the
penis to withdraw from the vag!na.
9. It’s impossible to lose anything in your vag!na. The
opening of the uterus is too small for anything to go through
it, unless you’re giving birth, of course. Before puberty, the
uterus is about 3.5 centimeters (cm) in length with an
average thickness of 1 cm. After puberty, its normal length is
about 7.6 cm, and width is 4.5 cm, with a normal thickness of
3.0 cm.
10. Lastly, in case you didn’t know, vag!nas are self-cleaning,
too. The vag!na is designed to keep itself clean with the help
of natural secretions, or discharge. When washing your
vag!na, it’s best to avoid perfumed soaps, gels, and
antiseptics, as this can affect the healthy balance of bacteria
and pH levels, and even lead to irritation.
