Heatwave in Europe

[The Yak]

UK doctor Eleanor Draeger, a sexual health consultant, took to Twitter to give her "regular reminder" to women not to place ice lollies in their vaginas to keep cool. Asked how often she has to issue the guidance, she replied: "More often than you would think!"

She said: "The vagina is composed of very delicate and sensitive skin, hence things that may seem innocent to other areas of the body, if they come in contact with the vagina, can cause infections, irritations and damage. There are many things that should never go near a vagina and ice lollies are up there. The ice can stick to the delicate skin of the vagina and cause real trauma and damage."

That's rather interesting. Also of note, it would appear that the item referred to as popsicles in America are called lollies in England. Learn something new every day.

But seriously, I hope our friends across the pond are able to keep cool and stay safe during the heatwave.
