Name That Vajayjay: 40 Words For Every Situation

Amelia McDonell-ParryJuly 21, 2011 //

How did it happen that “vajayjay” quickly became the slang term for vagina? Did Oprah start it? Was it Grey’s Anatomy? It almost feels like a fable at this point — but regardless, there has ALWAYS been slang terms for what’s in your pants and who knows? By the year 2067, vajayjay may sound as old-fashioned as “delta of Venus” or “aphrodisiacal tennis court” do now. After the jump, we’ve compiled a list of 40 slang terms for every important occasion. (Reminder: Just don’t use any of these…) Keep reading »

Should Jessica Alba’s Untamed “Va-Jay-Jay” Be A “Vagina”?

Jessica WakemanAugust 17, 2010 //

“Untamed Vaginas.” Now that‘s a cover line — one you’ll never, ever see on the cover of a mainstream magazine. So the September issue of Cosmopolitan went with this big splashy cover line over Jessica Alba’s crotch: “Untamed Va-jay-jays: Guess What Sexy Style Is Back.”

This is too much for blogger Leah Chernikoff at Fashionista. Railing against the use of “va-jay-jay” from “Grey’s Anatomy” to “Oprah,” she now has a “desperate plea” for a “moratorium” on the word. “When I hear people say it out loud I am a little embarrassed,” Chernikoff wrote. “What’s wrong with saying ‘vagina’?” For what it’s worth, Khloe Kardashian, of all people, agrees with her.

Foo Foo, Cabbage Patch, Francesca: 16 Weird Names Ladies Call Their Vaginas

Jessica WakemanMarch 18, 2010 //

If Kotex isn’t allowed to say “vagina” or even “down there” in their tampon commercials, they should check out LoveYourVagina.com, a veritable thesaurus of ladyparts synonyms. LoveYourVagina.com is asking ladies to “tell us what you lovingly call yours …” and graphing the answers in a massive tag cloud. Eve Ensler would be so proud! Or she might cry. I can’t really tell.

After the jump, let’s take a look at16 straight-up weird names we girls call our vag. Keep reading »

Your Vajayjay’s First Protective Shield!

Amelia McDonell-ParryApril 23, 2009 //

Oprah may be responsible for “vajayjay” — slang for “vagina,” for those of you living under a rock — entering the English lexicon, but she doesn’t own the trademark. That explains why VJJ Enterprises — which has filed a trademarking application — was able to manufacture the first product ever featuring the term. The best part? It’s a visor. For your vagina. Marketed as similar to a jock strap, the Vaj-j Visor is described as a “protective vaginal shield designed to help protect a woman’s inner vulva area inner labia, clitoris, and vaginal opening.” For sports? Actually, the Vaj-j Visor is supposed to be used during grooming activities, like Brazilian and bikini waxing, depilatories and shaving, hair coloring, tanning or spa treatments. Your vaginal muscles help keep the visor in place. All this contact with your naughty bits means that each visor needs to be tossed out after use. Visit the company’s website to find out how to buy it wholesale. [Vaj-J Visor via Mother Jones] Keep reading »

Flashback: Lysol Is Not For Your Ladybits

SimchaSeptember 18, 2008 //

Did you know Lysol used to advertise itself as appropriate for feminine hygiene? “A man marries a woman because he loves her,” the copy for this vintage ad reads. “Instead of blaming him if married love begins to cool, she should question herself.” According to this retro-minded public service message, a woman should “safeguard her dainty feminine allure by practicing complete feminine hygiene” with… a household disinfectant. Do not try this at home, people. Your vagina is for lovin’ — not Lysol. [mrbill]. Keep reading »

Forget Below-The-Belt Surgery: Love Your Lady Flower!

Annika HarrisAugust 1, 2008 //

Ladies, it’s time we start embracing our vaginas and stop letting money hungry clinics, offering vaginal cosmetic surgery, dictate what makes a beautiful vajayjay. The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recently warned that the trend of “designer vaginas” may be exploiting vulnerable women. Women in Australia, New Zealand, Britain and the U.S. have been trekking to these vagina spas to have vaginal rejuvenation, re-virgination, designer vaginoplasty and G-spot amplification. But the college said these procedures lack scientific backing and are dangerous and expensive–one procedure can cost as much as $9,500. The surgeries can also do more harm than good. Keep reading »

Get Well Soon Supermodel!

SimchaFebruary 27, 2008 //

Naomi Campbell, who has been dating a Brazilian businessman, was rushed into surgery in Sao Paulo, Brazil on Monday. The Afro-Jamaican-Chinese model, whose vajayjay has been seen everywhere from Playboy to Madonna’s Sex book, allegedly needed to have a small ovarian cyst removed. Naomi’s publicist released a statement on her behalf, “Following the successful procedure, she is now resting and is looking forward to getting back to work. She would like to thank the doctors who have kindly looked after her.” Her medical staff included gynecologist Dr. Jose Aristodemo Pinotti and Dr. David Uip, a leading expert in the treatment of infectious diseases who you know was just hanging around to sneak a peak at the promise land. Although she may not be able to get good help at home (how many cellphones does she need to throw to get a cup of coffee???), we’re glad to hear that she is getting the health care she needs. Campbell is expected to be strutting, posing, and abusing assistants again in no time. [Perez Hilton] Keep reading »

Vajayjay Nation: What’d You Call It, Oprah?

Amelia McDonell-ParryDecember 4, 2007 //

Have you wondered if an entire nation of intelligent women would jump off a bridge if Oprah said it was the thing to do? We have. We’ve also wondered whether said women would start calling their vaginas by a cutesy nickname, like, say vajayjay, if Oprah announced that was what she called her snatch. Well according to the New York Times, they have. Apparently the pet name for Oprah’s vagina (Sidebar: Isn’t it funny, a little, to think that Oprah has a vagina? And Dr. Phil has a penis! Weird.) stems from an episode of Grey’s Anatomy in which a character on the show orders someone to “stop lookin’ at my vajayjay.” Oprah loved that so much that she hasn’t stopped saying it on her show since, and neither has every single woman we’ve met, recently. Of course, the minute those old fogies at the Times declare something cool and now and fierce, it’s actually tired and and dead and buried. So what should the trendy new pet name for your lady flower be? Sound off in the comments. For the record, we’re kinda feelin’ “coozie.” [NY Times] Keep reading »
