The V book review

I was very impressed at this book’s amount of information. It is a great guidebook for anyone who happens to have a vagina. And personally I think men should flip through the book as well to learn a little more about a part of the female anatomy that can be slightly mysterious in nature. Reading this book would help men to navigate, and understand the female body.

The V Book is set up very well, the layout is fluid and the illustrations are realistic and tastefully done. I believe this book would be excellent for a young girl to learn more about their body in adult language. As I was growing up, I had many questions that I was too embarrassed to ask. I always wondered if I was “normal”. The V Book would be a great tool to let young women learn about their body without having to ask other girls and risk feeling embarrassed. There is a section that discusses the way a pelvic exam should be run, and what to expect for your first exam. This would take a lot of the stress and fear out of a girl’s mind if they know what to expect. I know I was terrified at my first pelvic exam.

Some of the information that I found helpful includes when to be alarmed about bumps or changes around the vulva, normal discharge, bladder pain, and skin conditions to watch for. I believe this book will be a handy guide and my first route to finding out if I should be worried enough to visit my gynecologist.

The section on sexual health was very in-depth and tastefully written. I enjoyed the fact that they discuss vibrators and masturbation as a part of a healthy sex life.

I enjoyed the section that discusses vulvodynia, vestibulodynia and clitorodynia. I was recently diagnosed with vulvodynia and the information was very helpful to understand the condition itself. Before I was diagnosed I had never heard of vulvodynia and thought that something must be wrong with myself and I was imagining the pain that I was experiencing during intercourse.

I would recommend this book as an addition to any woman’s library.
