how to not get pregnant (without the pill) with chloe skerlak
Be Real with Eliza Reynolds: Conversations About Mental Health, Friendship, Body Image & More for Big-Hearted Preteen & Teen Girls
The first tampon I wore chaffed me terribly. I really was not open to anybodyâs input on how to wear it âproperlyâ... so I just walked stiff-legged around, horrified (yes, I figured it out eventually).

If youâre someone who cycles, this episode is likely for you. Weâre talking about how to not get pregnant, what a cervix is, being shamed for desire, why systems of power are so obsessed with fertility = pregnancy, why you donât need to...
