2014 Funny Women Awards finalist Samantha Baines has been sharing her thoughts on the vulva on Stylist Magazine with some vagina facts that are a bit below the belt. In a rebuff to the Gwyneth Paltrows of the world who embrace a vaginal steam or even a vagina facial, Sam doesn’t think the noble vagina needs changing at all:

“Vaginas are like weeds – we’ve been told they are ugly and bad, but weeds are pretty self-sufficient. They grow and flower all on their own, they don’t need pruning or watering.”

In fact, Samantha has some news for Gwyneth: “Did you know our vaginas are actually self-cleaning? Like cats. Which gives a whole new meaning to the term ‘pussy’.”

Watch Samantha’s hilarious video here! 

You can catch Samantha’s work in progress show 1 Woman, A High Flyer and a Flat Bottom at the Brighton Fringe on Friday 2nd June, Saturday 3rd June and Sunday 4th June. For tickets and more information click here!
