To ask if showing your lady parts is "a thing"

A millennial friend has told me about “you know that thing when you show each other your vaginas?” And on seeing my shocked face didn’t say much more other than to explain she’s been showing a colleague at the work’s party and now is embarrassed
Is the comparison even a thing? Is this normal. It was delivered in a way which suggested it was totally normal like comparing hand size...
So tell me - have I been living under a rock? I’d no sooner display my wares than poke needles in my eyes

@JenFromTheGlen

I didn’t know there was a bloody vulva troll. Bollocks.

Wenttoseainasieve · 23/12/2018 19:00

My friends and I are not in the habit of showing one another our millennial vaginas/vulvas tbh, OP.

MadGoose · 23/12/2018 19:03

It's a bit like saying 'I've got a rash on my arm' ermm no dear you have a rash on your 'Ulnar'

Actually, it's more like saying you've got a spot in your mouth when you mean on your face.

Is that you Jonathan / Jessica?

Exactly!.... and you would have to be mad to say that so why it's 'ok' to say vagina instead of vulva is a mystery.

I guess some office parties are livelier than others. Hmm

Notquiteagandt · 23/12/2018 19:28

I am a younger milennial at 29. But I can say I have never shown anyone my vagina nor had any desire to see a friends. Is this a thing? 😂

XmasPostmanBos · 23/12/2018 19:31

Is this something to do with Vajazzles?

AndhowcouldIeverrefuse · 23/12/2018 19:31

What ItsAllGoingToBeFine said.

JustDanceAddict · 23/12/2018 19:36

Eeeer, no!
But I did try to put my DD’s tampon in for her - still didn’t work though so she couldn’t go in pool. Not something I’d make a habit of trying but she was desperate.

GodrestyemerrySchadenfreud · 23/12/2018 20:04

I was wondering about "vajingles" on thatAmerican comedy programme about junior doctors - can'' remember what it's called.

PositivelyPERF · 23/12/2018 20:07

FFS JustDanceAddict, the fucking perve will be wanking himself raw at that comment. Be careful what you’re putting on here. There’s a difference between bawdy humour and that!

Sticklebrook · 23/12/2018 20:14

I have never seen a friends' genitals and in situations like trying clothes on or getting changed into swim wear we avert our eyes because only i have a vulva worth looking at and we all feel the same, other women's vulvas are eww and we would never compare because we know we have the best one.

Sticklebrook · 23/12/2018 20:16

Closest I've ever come to anything like this was finding my DDs mooncup on the back seat of the car whilst making room for coal, I held it up towards the coal man who had no idea what it was, proudly.

anitagreen · 23/12/2018 20:17

I'm a millennial and I only take mine out at 2pm on a Wednesday it's 50p a look x

DisrespectfulAdultFemale · 23/12/2018 20:19

Is that you Jonathan / Jessica?

That was my thought, too.

FabulouslyGlamorousFerret · 23/12/2018 20:21

All rise the #mingepedants ...I'm awaiting the trotting out of, the urban myth where the child who disclosed abuse was ignored as she used the word 'minnie' and nobody acted as they thought daddy had been touching her stuffed toy!

Vaggy vaggy vaggy!! (/)

HebeMumsnet · 23/12/2018 20:30

Well... We're as surprised as you lot, but we have to say that, as far as we can see, this user is above board. She's been around a good few years (though we've never seen her ladyparts... we're just not that close...) That said, we don't think she's a troll. Just letting you know.

Birdsgottafly · 23/12/2018 20:36

Juells, perhaps the friend thought it was possible that she had toxic shock syndrome. If that's the case, you should remove the tampon.

It's a thing for the Geordie Shore Girls and other reality TV Shows. But it makes good television (for their targeted audience).

Never happened in my friendship group

Well yes but then I am a naturist so all of my naturist friends have seen mine but at work NO!!!!

believinginangels · 23/12/2018 21:11

Userschmoozer same here - aged 7, invited to tea after school. No talking allowed at the table, very stern father, and my 'friend' proceeded to put her hand down my pants! Shock

Oh my life. I never imagined such a response. To clarify- I am not a troll. I was very shocked but wondered if I’d just missed out on a “thing” and was the only one not in the know. I’m relieved to know it is not normal or common practice to compare lady areas of a night out.
I’m normally found bemoaning my body/ lack of style on style and beauty or hunting Christmas bargains. Apologies !
