A woman who was born with two vaginas answered some of the pressing questions people had for her.
Australian model Evelyn Miller was born with a very rare medical condition called uterus didelphys which affects a tiny percentage of women.
Taking to TikTok, she answered five of the most popular questions she was asked most often about living with two vaginas.
She said: "Obviously I can't answer some of the questions, but if it's medical I will answer it."
Evelyn said: "So, first one is 'what does it look like', it looks the same as other girls because I have one labia on the outside. Except the vagina is actually the canal, so once the labia is open if you look inside I've got two holes instead of one.

"They're right and left next to each other sort of, like, eyeballs looking at you, or like a shotgun."
Evelyn explained that each vagina had its own cervix, uterus and 'one ovary on each side'.
"Yes I can. I can carry two babies from two different guys at the same time, not gonna do that 'cause I'm married and my husband wouldn't like that very much.

"But I can, they could also be about three weeks apart in age which is pretty crazy, I can't give birth naturally, I have to have a c-section so the whole pregnancy is quite high-risk for me."
Evelyn and her husband Tom have two children together.
"Yeah, this is probably the only bad part about having two," she said in answer to the third question.

She said that her 'hormones regulate her cycles' and that her periods were 'maybe like four or five days apart from each other' meaning she had to use two tampons, understandably she said this was 'not very fun'.
"Yes, obviously it does," Evelyn explained. "They're angled outwards so yes. I'm not going very into that stuff because this is a safe for work chat."
Evelyn said: "It happened when I was an embryo. You're actually born in sort of two pieces and then you fuse together.

"What happened with me is my whole lower half or, like, that area, lower back area, didn't fuse together which created two completely separate sets."
Explaining that this was 'incredibly rare', Evelyn said there were other ways it could affect a person and she had 'the most severe mutation'.
This is actually how your body forms when you're an embryo, in the first nine weeks boys and girls are largely indistinguishable before the tissue there starts to develop.
To any gentlemen reading this, it's the reason why you appear to have a stitch along the bottom of your scrotum as that's where your labioscrotal swellings fused together, while for women this becomes the labia.
