Oh, the wondrous vagina. A complex and clever little thing. It can strengthen by doing regular exercise; it can make its own lubrication; and it can even stretch to the size of a melon to deliver a baby. What a champ! They are the flower of life and roughly 50% of us have them. Yet there’s so much we don’t know.
Well, fear not. After uncovering some surprising Penis Facts, we thought it was about time The V had her chance to amaze you…

Vagina Fact #5
The largest vagina ever recorded was that of Scottish Anna Swan (1846-1888). Sadly, we don’t have any recorded evidence of her vaginas exact dimensions but, after delivering a 26 pound baby, you can image you could just about park a Mini in there.

Vagina Fact #9
The first movie to use the word “vagina” on film was…wait for it…a Disney film. Yep. Disney. The film to take this claim was “The Story of Menstruation” released in 1946. We’ll stick to watching Lion King thanks.
