"My Vagina's Angry"

In the second reading for The Vagina Monolgues there was a chapter called " My Angry Vagina". The entire chapter is pretty much about all of the things women have to go through as they get older. Visits to the hospital, periods, and cleaning products. I liked this chapter because it made me laugh, and reminded me of some conversations I've had with both friends and my mom over the years. When we were younger we used to make fun of all these things.
My favorite line of the chapter is when she is talking about tampons and says, "You need to engage my vagina's trust. You can't do that with a dry wad of fucking cotton" (70). I remember when I was 9 my brother and I found a tampon and we took it out of the applicator and put it under running water. We were both shocked and confused on how it worked and how exactly girls were supposed to use them. I was terrified and told myself when I was old enough I would never use it because it was creepy. 
Then 7th grade happened and the whole calling people a "douche" became popular. Most people don't even know what a douche is they just know it's an insult to call someone. I asked my mom what a douche was and all she said was "it's something you use to clean yourself",  she couldn't have been more vague; I was more confused then I was before asking her. As I got older I realized what they actually were and what they were used for and I was confused. The entirety of the douche was just weird to me. Like she says in the book "Stop shoving and stop it up. My vagina doesn't need to be cleaned up" (70). We always learned in class not to use douches or other things like them because it was bad, and disrupted the bodies natural cleaning process. Yet, it's something that a lot of woman use and continue to use through out their lives.
Lastly, there's the doctors appointments. Uncomfortable and awkward are two words that come to my mind. Like she says, "Then there's those exams. Why the scary paper dress...Why the rubber gloves?...why the Nazi stirrups, the mean cold duck lips?" (71). They're just not fun. Every girl dreads the day she has to go to the doctor to get her "check-up". Although, it is something that we all have to do I find it interesting that there actually isn't anything they do to make a little bit easier. Like she says in the book "Why can't they find some nice, delicious purple velvet and wrap it around me, lay me down on some feathery cotton spread, put on some nice pink or blue gloves, and rest my feet in some fur-covered stirrups? Warm up the duck lips" (72). I mean, I don't think they should go over board and do all of the things that she says but some of it couldn't hurt.
There are some good points in this chapter and I liked it because I think most people can relate to a lot of the things that Ensler says and have similar views.
