Knickers in a Twist - In Me and My Menopausal Vagina, Jane Lewis writes candidly about years of pain, discomfort and tears. In A Woman’s Choice, Natalie Campbell describes experiencing early menopause to the extent that she struggled to sit down or wear underwear. And in @painsdownthere Phil highlights the importance of recognising severe and recurrent thrush, drawing attention to the potential link between persistent fungal infections and chronic vulval nerve pain. So while the media has got its knickers in a twist over crotchless underwear, could we instead have an informed conversation with the people who genuinely may value the relief of these garments, not as a novelty or a sexual statement, but as a practical aid to living with chronic pain?

Sometimes it's about getting through the day. Let's stop shaming products that improve people's quality of life and start listening to those whose experiences rarely make the headlines. @youandme_nopause @awomanschoice @pamelawindlewomenshealthcoach @painsdownthere

Over the years I have been humbled by the many women who have trusted me with deeply personal conversations about intimate health conditions—subjects that remain under-discussed, misunderstood and, too often, dismissed.
