G'day! Today we're going to take a look at the very fascinating vaginas of Thylarctos plummetus - commonly called drop bears. These Australian animals are very fascinating down under...
For those who haven't heard of drop bears, these predatory, forest-dwelling marsupials are so called due to their preferred hunting method of dropping from trees onto their mammalian prey. @austmus has a detailed information sheet to tell you more: australian.museum/learn/animals/…
Drop bear reproductive systems are weird. They have two uteruses, two permanent vaginas, one temporary vagina and a cloaca. Yes, you read all of that correctly. Two permanent vaginas, one temporary. And a cloaca.

These beautiful earrings, with natural pearl ovaries, come with a copy of the poem "A Uterus is an Organ Not a Crime", and are a form of wearable art to open conversations about bodily autonomy and reproductive justice.
There's only four pairs. Once they're gone, they're gone. Get your pair now. vaginamuseumshop.co.uk/products/uteru…

Who wants to hear about bonobo vulvas? If you do, today's your lucky day. If you don't, look away now, because we're going to tell you all about bonobo vulvas (with a little bit about the sex lives of these endangered apes along the way)...
Bonobos are close relatives of chimpanzees, living in the wild in the Congo Basin in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Despite looking physically similar to chimpanzees, these apes behave very differently.
The fact that most people know about bonobos is that they fuck. Copiously. All the time. Indiscriminately and plentifully. That's mostly true, although their reputation for constant horniness is slightly overstated, as they're a bit more sexual in zoos than in the wild.

Who's ready to look at another historical patent application for Things To Go In Vaginas That Shouldn't Go In Vaginas?

Today, let's cross our legs and meet the Vaginal Atomizer, patented by William E. Weldon in 1891... <img src="https://s3.m...
Lots of the historical patents we've seen are pretty much over-engineered douches. This one is a little different. W.E. Weldon makes very clear on his application that douches are an "inferior" way of getting things into the vagina, and his device is *much* more effective.
His Vaginal Atomizer works much like a perfume bottle. You squeeze a bulb, and the puff of air enters the bottle, and then disperses a little cloud of the liquid from the bottle out of the other bulb. Which goes into the vagina.

Hmm. Very disappointing that Twitter is requiring this rigmarole to view the images in this thread, as well as the judgment on their end that this content is "adult only" and "may not be appropriate."
We applied the content screen ourselves as we're aware that some of our followers might not immediately be in a position to look at photos of human vulvas, not for our followers to be told that these educational images are inappropriate and requiring personal data to view.
If you'd like to view this thread *without* having to hand over personal data, you can find it on Mastodon. Images are, once again, content-screened so you can engage when it's right for you. masto.ai/@vagina_museum…

Fallopian fact: although medical illustrations often depict the ovarian tubes as attached to the ovaries, they're not. And if you only have one tube, it can pick up eggs from either ovary, a bit like (but not at all like) one of those grabby claw games.
Some of you wanted to know a bit more about how ovarian tubes can pick up eggs from either ovary, so we're *delighted* to tell you more about this, because yes, it's real, the tubes can move around in there!
Here's a diagram of the ovary (labelled O) and tube from a 19th century medical textbook. This image depicts the usual relationship between a tube and ovary: as you can see, they're not attached to each other. <img src="https://s3.m...
