About
Let’s Talk Vaginas
Vaginal health is everyday health. So why is it still so hard to talk about?
Let’s Talk Vaginas (LTV) is a UK campaign breaking the silence around vaginal health, and pushing for care that actually serves the people who need it.
Who are we?
We’re a social campaign founded by PHLORA Labs, in partnership with Femtech and women’s health societies, communities, and charities across the UK.
Together, we’re a community of over 3000 members!
Our mission
To make vaginal health understood, openly discussed, and met with care that’s accessible, high quality and patient-focused.
How?
- We publish science-backed, sourced information about vaginal health.
- We collect and share what people actually experience to inform healthcare providers, because there’s a huge gap between what happens and what gets acknowledged.
- We work with clinicians, charities and community organisations who want the same thing.
Sophia & Gianni’s story
Friends. Sisters. Partners. Colleagues.
We kept watching the people around us go through the same story. Months of discomfort. Appointments that went nowhere. A quiet assumption that this was just something to put up with.
Our best friend was broken up with because her partner thought she was ‘contagious’. Our colleague was told to stay on the pill for seven years, with no other answers.
That’s when we realised.
Vaginal health isn’t just a health problem.
It’s a social one too.
And it shouldn’t be like this.
We started PHLORA Labs to tackle the science through microbiome research.
We started Let’s Talk Vaginas to tackle the social side.
To make a real impact, we need both.
