The first trimester of a pregnancy can often be the hardest, so why do so many women feel the need to stay quiet? And what if the answer — miscarriage — is the reason we should be talking about pregnancy earlier?

Aunty Yumi is in the house and she needs your questions!

Ladies, do you feel like you might be hornier than your friends? Does your partner find it hard to keep up with your thirst for orgasms? Would you say you have a high sex drive? If so, we would absolutely love to hear from you for an episode that's in the works for your fave podcast!

Horny ladies, we need your help!

It's a brand new year ladies and we'd love your input for our very first episode of 2024! 

Did you know the average age for someone to lose their virginity in Australia is 18 years-old? But what if, for whatever reason, you've made it well into adulthood and you’re still holding onto your v-card? 

It could be that you're waiting for marriage or the kind of person you'd want to have sex with for the very first time hasn't materialised. Whatever the reason, we would love to hear from you. And if you prefer you can be completely anonymous. Shoot an email to ladies@abc.net.au

Calling all virgins, we need your help!

Uh oh, what’s that you smell... a funky odour down below? The thought of having a stinky crotch is nightmare fuel for some women, but do we even need to worry about our musky bouquet?  




The delicate aroma of our lady-garden can be affected by things like our menstrual cycle and our lifestyle but how do we tell when the stank goes from normal to full on malodorous pudenda territory and what can be done about it?  




It’s time to take off those undies and confront the smelly minge in the room with your bestie Yumi by your side for support.
