Ever been turned on but dry as the Sahara?

Vaginal lubrication doesn't always match desire, and in this episode, Schuyler Grant and her expert panel (Dr. Jolene Brighten, Dr. Marisa Snyder, and Rosie Acosta) explain what our culture – and our doctors – fail to teach us.

We break down vaginal health, pH balance, and what is really going on in your body during arousal.

You'll Learn:

• Arousal non-concordance (your wetness doesn't have to match your desire)

• Vaginal pH and why estrogen is basically a farmer for your vagina

• What really happens during arousal (spoiler: it takes longer than porn suggests)

• Why every vagina needs estrogen (postpartum, perimenopause, menopause)

• Vaginal health myths busted (Can tampons get lost? Are tight vaginas better?)

• How to know when dryness, itching, or pain needs medical attention

• Why vaginal health is connected to your overall wellbeing

Can you get pregnant during your period? (Depends.)

Are all vaginas pink? (Absolutely not.)

Should you be doing 50 Kegels a day? (Please stop.)

You'll learn why the “tight vagina” myth is harmful, how semen affects vaginal pH, and why vaginal health changes throughout your life. It’s the vagina education you never got—science-backed, shame-free, and actually useful.
