#Momsplaining with Kristen Bell: Vagina Myths with Andy Lassner

Hello. I'm Kristen Bell and I have a

vagina

. Chances are, if you're watching this, you or someone you know is watching it too. The

vagina

is a powerful machine. It's also quite mysterious. Today I'm going to delve deeper into the vagina and learn more about it. And FYI, I'm going to say vagina about 100 more times in this episode. So you're welcome. Sit back and relax as we uncover and debunk vagina

myths

. Vagina. (SINGING) To all the moms who are doing well. I'm here with this amazing OB/GYN doctor, Sheri Ross, and this is Victoria, who is a first-time mom.

Victoria, how pregnant are you? I'm two weeks away from giving birth. Oh! 38 weeks. How do you feel? Big. Yes big one. Don't you look adorably cute? Thank you. Very well, we will be waiting. Obviously, I'm here to help. I'm here. I have my gloves. Oh God. Perfect. I have my gloves too. I wanted to help gather information, so I invited my very good friend and executive producer of the Ellen Show, Andy Lassner. Hello. Hello! We had a lot of fun last time when we were on Momsplaining. UH Huh. Breathe, breathe, breathe. You're doing great. You did things to my area.

Yes. Andy, as far as I know, you don't have a vagina, do you? I don't have a vagina. Okay, but I bet you're interested in vaginas. Yes. Did you know that...? What's going on? The clitoris has... Stop. Twice... the clitoris. Is it a clitoris or clitoris? Tomato, tomato. Your choice. Which one do you prefer, Andy? Just let me know which one you prefer. Why is this happening? However you want to say it. No, but yes... Clitoris, go ahead. Clitoris, yes! That the clitoris has twice as many nerve endings as the penis? No, I know it's sensitive.

Yes, okay, here are some

myths

we'd like you to bust. Let's hear it. You can't get pregnant during your period. You can get pregnant. Bingo. Also, I'll bust a myth that's not even here. You can get pregnant in a hot tub because that's where we conceived our second child: in a hot tub in Hawaii at our friend's house. A curious fact is that our two children were conceived in friends' houses. Do you know where you conceived? Probably at my house. Very boring. Do you know where you conceived your children? Encino, California. Oh, all good. At home, I think.

Excellent. A bedroom. Probably yes. Probably, but maybe not. It could have been the family room. Wow, Andy, it's a family show for love. Myth number two: bigger is better? Bigger is not better, most women would say. Thank you. I'm fine. She was so nervous about that answer. The average penis measures 5.7 inches and in girth, girth, girth. Pay attention. There are 4... He said circumference, it's funny. Well, that's... Go ahead. What is it? 4.8 centimeters. There are treatment remedies if you have a partner who has a large penis. I brought some dilators that many women don't know about. And you're stretching your...

The entrance, the entrance to the vagina. Can't. I'm sorry, doctor. Well, this is... but this is really important. I'm in hell right now. This is... No, this is Earth. This is something you have to deal with. I know, but maybe you could have found someone who didn't have the maturity level of an 8 year old. Can diet affect your vagina? The foods you want to get to help your vagina smell and taste good will be pineapple. Write this, write this. Arrest. Kiwi, blueberries, melon, lemon, cucumbers... Just a fruit salad. Greens... well, certain types. There are no bananas in this.

No bananas. The bad, garlic, onion, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower... Oh no. Does the vagina clean itself? Well, it more or less is. I like to think of the vagina and vulva as the oven at home, which cleans itself. Me too. But you still have to clean the stove, the outside. We hydrate, we clean, we hydrate. I didn't know we should hydrate it. Did you know we were supposed to hydrate? No idea. I'm learning a lot. Yes. Let me tell you that. Our vulva will be much happier and less prone to dryness, itching and irritation. Happy vulvas.

Can you lose a tampon up there? Oh God. That's my nightmare. I like to think of it as a sock. It has a final point... It's a sock, it's an oven. What other thing? The vagina is not a storage unit. I've been trying to tell you that. Well, how else am I going to move my drugs? Is it dangerous to have sex during pregnancy because it feels like there's no... it feels like you have a lot of room down there right now? Not anymore. The lower the baby goes, I wonder: what will happen if we have sex?

Well you know, she is completely safe because she comes wrapped in a nice sack. But unfortunately, women don't feel as sexy during pregnancy. My husband told me that he felt like he was cheating on me. He loved it. He said your back is very wide. And orgasms can help trigger contractions. And you can do it with or without your partner. Alright. Now we are talking. You make a uterus. Alright, thank you very much for speaking with us today. Andy, I feel like we learned a lot here and I feel like we should spread the word. We have to tell the world about these things, so let's go.

Where? Where we go? All right, excuse me, excuse me. What is your name? Rebeca. Hello Rebecca. I'm Kristen. Would you play a game with us? Yes of course. Stand here. I'm Andy. True or false, orgasms... (SCREAMS) Orgasms can relieve menstrual pain. Rebeca. I'm going to tell the truth. Bingo, it's true. They can relieve menstrual pain. And also, never refuse an orgasm. My grandmother never did. She has 12 children. No way. Yes. What do Kegel exercises do? Strengthens the vagina. Stick with it, am I doing Kegel exercises right now? Maybe you are because we can't know. That's how it is.

You did good, Tyler. I understood the first part well. Yes, you did, Andy. Wow. The average length of a vagina is three to four inches. How does it adapt to something bigger? When you get excited, the canal stretches. That's exactly right. When aroused, the vagina can double in size. I guess it's more of a growth than a shower. The vagina has more than 1,000 nicknames. Name three. Does Vajayjay count? 100% That's what it's called in my house. Arrest! Arrest! Yeah! Your mother is there. I'm going to give you a prize. You did well, I think. I'm going to give you a prize.

You did it very well. Thank you. This is a pineapple... Oh my God. Obviously... you'll thank me later. There is a reason for this. Explain why. Dr. Sheri taught me. Help... It's... good. Help with. You dug this hole. Get out of there. Is flavor involved? You know what I found out this morning from a doctor: get out of here. According to the doctor, we're supposed to treat our vaginas like our faces. We're supposed to wash them gently and then moisturize them, which I never knew. But only on the outside. Take that home... Not inside. I got it.

Explain that. Did you know it was self-cleaning inside? Alright, thank you very much for playing with us today. Well, I didn't. Congratulations, Andy. Now you're basically a vagina expert. And I would like to give you a prize. So what did we learn today? We learned that we... That vaginas are amazing. Yes. You look great.
