had my 22 year old friend tell me she thought she didn’t need to get pap smears bc she’s not active
a reminder that once you’re 21, you should get one every 3 years, no matter if you’re sexually active! virgins can also get cervical cancer
Me reading this as a 24 year old whose never even heard of that

Don’t worry you literally can’t feel anything during a Pap smear. I was super scared too but it was quick easy and 100% pain/discomfort free

Yes of course! I’ve met with my OB once prior, and so when I had my pap with the same OB it was a super comfortable experience because she told me everything that was goin on, held convo w me etc
