Sharing vulva diversity since 2006!
Sharing vulva diversity since 2006!
Age: 22
When I first read about The Great Wall of Vagina, I felt so empowered. The women taking part are incredible for sharing their femininity so boldly. Since childhood, I’ve struggled with a chronic inflammatory skin condition called Lichen Sclerosus, which affects the vulva. LS is an autoimmune disease, and symptoms include itching and soreness. The skin becomes fragile, pale in appearance, and is prone to splitting. This all makes sex and day-to-day life very painful; there is no cure. I feel this condition is very misunderstood. LS has caused my clitoris to fuse with the surrounding skin, I have never developed labia minora and splits have caused lots of scar tissue.
I feel incredibly proud of myself for being able to be apart of this fantastic project. I didn’t feel nervous, I felt excited. I wanted to prove to myself I am no different to everybody else, despite my Lichen Sclerosus. The casting was such a positive experience for my well-being and myself, I feel in touch with my femininity and have embraced my uniqueness.
