To celebrate the release of Laura Dowling's book Love Your Vulva, we are giving one IMAGE reader a chance to win a copy and a 6-month supply of fabÜ wellness supplements.

It’s time to talk, like really talk, about women’s health. For too long, conversations around intimate wellbeing have been whispered, avoided or brushed aside. But thanks to Laura Dowling, also known as The Fabulous Pharmacist, that silence is breaking in the most empowering way.

Her latest book, Love Your Vulva, is a refreshing, honest and often humorous guide that lifts the lid on everything women were never properly taught about their own bodies. From anatomy and hygiene to menopause, sexual trauma and post-cancer recovery, Dowling’s book is a must-read for women of all ages and for anyone who wants to understand and support them better.

“I created Love Your Vulva to close the huge gap in women’s health education and give every woman a safe, shame-free space to learn about her body,” says Laura. “This book is your guide, your cheerleader, and your reminder that knowing yourself is the ultimate power.”

And she delivers exactly that. Written with warmth and scientific knowledge, the book strips away shame and replaces it with confidence and curiosity. Laura’s approach is both deeply informative and joyfully unfiltered, the perfect combination for a topic that deserves openness, not embarrassment.

Love Your Vulva goes far beyond the basics. It’s a holistic, compassionate guide that celebrates women at every stage of life. Here’s what readers will learn:

  1. Your intimate health is central to your overall well-being.
    Your vulva and vagina are not separate from the rest of you; they’re integral to your physical and emotional health.
  2. How to spot and respond to common conditions.
    From thrush to bacterial vaginosis, Laura explains what’s normal, what’s not and what to do about it.
  3. Understanding your periods.
    Your cycle is a vital sign, not a monthly inconvenience. Learn what it reveals about your overall health.
  4. Managing vaginal dryness and discomfort.
    Whether it’s due to hormones, menopause or medication, help and treatments are available.
  5. Incontinence care.
    Pee leaks happen, and they’re treatable. Laura helps readers understand their pelvic floor and how to strengthen it.
  6. Post-cancer and post-menopause intimate care.
    Recovery and rediscovery are possible. Compassionate guidance helps women reconnect with their bodies after treatment or hormonal changes.
  7. There is help for everyone; you do not have to suffer in silence.
    Pain, discomfort or shame have no place in a woman’s life. There are answers, and you are not alone.
  8. Your body is beautiful.
    Love Your Vulva celebrates every shape, size and stage, reminding readers that their bodies are already perfect just as they are.
  9. Treatments are available.
    Knowledge opens doors to solutions, from medical care to lifestyle support. Laura equips readers to make informed choices.
  10. Be unapologetic and unashamed.
    The ultimate message: embrace your body, speak your truth and never apologise for being a woman.
