Hello Cervix!

Dear Cervix,

I'd like to apologise for thinking you were a scary lump the first time I felt you low down in my vagina. When taught biology and even when teaching myself sex ed online I have only ever seen diagrams of a high cervix so I didn't know it was you. I have also been on birth control almost all the other times I'd felt you, so you had been high. It was a shock to find out this was normal, but I'm so glad I know now! And f*ck the patriarchy for not teaching me know sooner!!!!

Bloody Cervix

Dear Cervix,

Why do you need to be so difficult?!

I want nothing more than to do away with pads; the monthly expense, the leaking and the crinkly packets in toilet cubicles.

But no, I can't have my life be changed by using a menstrual cup, because you, my cervix, isn't set back far enough.

You're too close to allow a menstrual cup, ANY menstrual cup, to fit inside me.

So cheers for being such a bloody nuisance, pun INTENDED!

Sincerely
Rachel

There is Such a Thing as Too Big

Dear cervix,

Thank you for shielding my uterus from foreign invaders, but I really wish you weren’t in the way during sex. I can be sooo damn close to an orgasm, but a slightly wrong angle and you literally bring tears to my face, it hurts so damn bad. I can’t even remember how many times we had to stop in the middle of things, disappointed, but it hurt too much to carry on. I just wish you were a bit more accepting towards my partner, it would help a lot.

PS: To whomever said size doesn’t matter, it does. And there is such a thing as too big.
