HALF of women don’t know their vagina from their vulva
Just 35 per cent of women were able to correctly identify the different parts of their reproductive organs
Half of women don't know where there vagina is - and just over a third can correctly label the female anatomy.
The alarming figures were revealed by leading gynaecological charity The Eve Appeal, who also revealed women are better at identifying the male anatomy - with six out of ten able to identify the foreskin, penis and testes.
Just 35 per cent could correctly label the female anatomy, with two thirds unable to identify the vulva and 48 per cent the cervix or the vagina.
The charity are now urging women to get to know their bodies better as it could save their lives.
A shocking 21 women in the UK die every day from vulval, vaginal, cervical, womb or ovarian cancer but many women are still unaware of the risks.
CEO Athena Lamnisos said: “Body confidence is important, but body knowledge is absolutely vital, and our research has shown that women don’t know their vaginas from their vulvas.
