Woman who has two vaginas describes the first time she realised
A woman with two vaginas explained how she found out in the first place
A woman with two vaginas described the moment when she realised she had more than one.
Evelyn Miller, from Gold Coast, Australia, has complete uterus didelphys, meaning she has two completely independent reproductive systems.
She said there were 'many different scales of mutation or severities of mutation' with the condition and she had 'the most severe and the rarest form of it'.

Evelyn explained that she had 'two completely separate vaginas, two cervixes, two uteruses, and one ovary on each set'.
That means she can have sex with both of her vaginas and get pregnant with both of them too.
"So I always knew that there was something really wrong with me when I was younger," Evelyn said of the time before she didn't know exactly what was different.
"I got my period and tampons never worked for me. I used to remember telling my mom that they're not working, it's not working.
"Then sex felt really, really strange for me. Every single time I had sex, obviously, because my vaginas angle outwards, they both feel very different for me and I couldn't really figure out what was going on.
"Occasionally, the guy would like hit the wall in between them and we would just fill out what was out.
"So I knew something was wrong, but I actually didn't find out until I was about 20. I felt pregnant and I decided to have a termination.
"I went for the termination after that huge deliberation that I had to go through and woke up in recovery and they told me I was still pregnant and that I had two vaginas and that I would have to go through another termination because it was in the other side.
"So it was pretty traumatic way of finding out, but it was also a relief to finally find out."
Evelyn said that when it came to her periods, 'one usually lasts slightly longer than the other' and she has to 'stagger' using tampons because if they swell up enough next to each other it can hurt her.
She explained that she goes through 'double the amount of tampons' each month and that it 'sucks', being the only real 'downside' to having two vaginas.
But she also explained that she's had two babies with her husband, and that her each of her uterus' were 'half the size of one normal uterus'.
Doctors decided that her children would have to be born via C-section as they thought it could be 'quite traumatic for me and the baby' otherwise.
