Nearly everything we’ll ever need to know about being a girl, we’ll learn from other girlfriends who’ve “been there, done that” before us. Even when things are medical, even when we love our OBGYNs, sometimes we’re embarrassed or don’t want to waste their time with things not involving making babies.
