This month, our episodes are all about GIRL LITERACY which is all about getting to know our bodies.
This week, Christie and Lauren meet Alice Pelton, founder of The Lowdown - a contraception reviewing platform, which she describes is ‘basically Tripadvisor for your vagina.’
Alice talks to the girls about the reasons WHY women need more education on different contraceptives, myth busts all of the rumours they’ve heard and discusses the hold up on the male pill!
As part of our New Year’s Revolution campaign, Girl Literacy challenges our knowledge on our bodies and the effect it can have on our mental wellbeing and life choices. Through our content we aim to raise awareness of unspoken issues surrounding women’s health and bring them firmly into the group chat.
