I'm wondering about people who say things like "With my adult friends I say...." and "I always use the word... but with my child I use the word..." Why is the subject even coming up for discussion, exacly, with adults?

I'm the poster who uses "vulva" with her children.. .but it seriously only comes up when kids want to know the difference between boys and girls, an dthen when we are taking care of after-potty cleaning.

Otehr than that -- I can't think of a time in my life when I've had to refer to either my vulva or my vagina, for any reason. Not even in childbirth or with my OB-GYN checkups, or with DH (trust me, he'd rather not talk about it....)

This is my favorite post for some time.
Are you for real?

I love the idea of getting to your 30s or 40s without ever having one conversation about "the uglies". You are a true saint. I pray that you can get through the next few decades without the subject rearing its head. Good luck!
