Supportive conversations exercise: two – Family Planning Association

Lesson 2: Vulval vexations

Supportive conversations exercise: two

Now consider one of the following:

Charlie has seen an advert on social media for a product that says it’s going to keep their vagina “fresh and clean”.

  • What might a friend say to Charlie to reassure them – what else might the friend say about whether the product is needed or not?
  • What might Charlie say or do to challenge the post on social media?

OR

Skye is in a science lesson where they’re learning about the body and there’s a diagram of the vulva in their textbook. They notice the labia in the diagram looks different to the shape and colour of their own labia.

  • What might Skye say to a friend if they were worried about this and what might the friend say in response to reassure them?
  • What could the science teacher say during the lesson to reassure all students about the diagrams that are sometimes included in textbooks?
