Using secrets collected from hundreds of them, this exquisitely disgusting illustrated book rewrites our definition of femininity.    When artist Tallulah Pomeroy asked people to anonymously submit anecdotes about the weird, unruly things they did with their bodies, she was inundated. From tampons and trapped wind to ear wax and pubes, stories flowed in from a community of hilarious, radically honest women, who, by admitting to things they had thought were shameful, no longer had to feel ashamed.    Now illustrated, these stories take the female anatomy as far away from the male gaze as it is possible to get, in a celebration of women's bodies that is gleeful, gross, subversive, and beautiful, all at once.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49510426444049,"sku":"GOR009542079","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49510946930961,"sku":"GOR011462212","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51737321111825,"sku":"GOR010030266","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1911617761.jpg?v=1750997330"},{"product_id":"girl-s-guide-to-personal-hygiene-book-tallulah-pomeroy-9781593761820","title":"A Girl's Guide to Personal Hygiene","description":"\u003cb\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eA Girl's Guide to Personal Hygiene\u003c\/i\u003e is everything I never knew I wanted: a disgusting, hilarious, and honest book that pays tribute to the female body and all of its habits and suppurations.

Using anecdotes collected from hundreds of anonymous sources, this gleefully disgusting illustrated book rewrites our definition of femininity.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e One day, the artist Tallulah Pomeroy overhead a conversation between two girls about another friend of theirs they knew in college. Apparently, when this friend had been on tour with the rugby team, she'd drunkenly 'done a shit in the sink.' 'She's not a girl if she did that,' said one to the other. 'She may have a vagina, but she's not a girl.'\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This exchange made Tallulah laugh, but it also made her think. How many things had her friends done that meant they 'weren't girls?' She made a Facebook group and asked people to submit stories about their 'unladylike' behaviors. The page was soon flooded with more stories than she could have ever imagined: about ear wax and trapped wind, gray pubes and bloody pajamas. It became a community of honest, funny, and supportive women, who, by admitting to things they'd thought were shameful, no longer had to feel ashamed.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e For \u003ci\u003eA Girl's Guide to Personal Hygiene\u003c\/i\u003e, Tallulah made original illustrations to accompany a selection of those Facebook posts--plus dozens more from an expanded call for submissions--to create an exuberant and galvanizing handbook for all the nasty women of the world.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49562945257745,"sku":"CIN1593761821G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49757374841105,"sku":"GOR009715260","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50800099983633,"sku":"GOR012210580","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52457284206865,"sku":"CIN1593761821VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53625241600273,"sku":"GOR014986231","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1593761821.jpg?v=1751454469"},{"product_id":"a-girls-guide-to-personal-hygiene-true-stories-illustrated-rare-book-tallulah-pomeroy-1762239262ada","title":"A Girl’s Guide to Personal Hygiene: True Stories, Illustrated","description":"2018.
