So I'm a virgin! And I've hit that point where my GP sends me regular smear test reminders. I've not had one and I'm genuinely scared to. I have major body issues anyway but I'm scared this is going to HURT. Badly. I know how they're done and I know it's a silly thing not to go for something that could possibly save my life but I want some home truths so I know what I'm signing myself I'm for.

As a virgin will this hurt? Having never used anything inside myself before.

Is it awkward af?

Honestly do they care what it looks like?

Thanks all!
