The Evvy Vaginal Microbiome Test Helps You Understand Your Bacteria
*Down There*—So I Tried It
If recent buzz around the lack of understanding of the clitoris is any example of how surprisingly little the scientific and medical communities prioritize learning about the female body—then we know there's still much more room for progress. Both have historically left women behind for many reasons.

SEX, SEX, SEX
Lube + Vaginal Moisturizer = Your Sexual Wellness BFFs
Has your vagina been acting weird lately? You know, has it felt kind of dry? Or irritated? Maybe even itchy? Has sex stopped feeling like you are being transported to a sensual realm of infinite physical pleasures, and started to feel like …well, a painful rug burn?
While it may not quite be the stuff of dinner party conversation, it’s important to talk about — because vaginal dryness is one of the most common symptoms of menopause and perimenopause. But the great news is that for many people, it can be treated fairly simply, with non-prescription lube and moisturizer that can work for any budget.
So let’s talk about sex, baby — specifically, let’s talk about painful sex, and how to make it feel better.

Reading the Signs of Our Hormones
How to become an advocate for our own health
Dr. Suzanne Fenske practices gynecology with the well-known idiom “you can’t see the forest for the trees” in mind. “If you view a woman by her body parts rather than looking at her as a whole, you will miss the picture,” says Dr. Fenske, who is double board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology, and board-certified in integrative medicine. “I look at nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress management skills, social parameters, sex, and, most importantly, a woman’s needs, goals, and wants.”
