TWICE AS NICE
I have two vaginas – people think it’s horrifying but my boyfriend loves it as there’s one for him & another just for me
LIKE many couples, Annie Charlotte and her boyfriend have a rule - what's hers is hers, and what's his is his.
But for these two, it extends beyond towels, chargers and coffee mugs.

Annie was born with two uteruses and cervixes, meaning she has two vaginas.
After she met her partner in February, he quickly claimed one vagina as his own, while she reserves the other for herself.
The unique arrangement means the duo can enjoy sex - but Annie can also create adult content on OnlyFans without feeling guilty.
The 24-year-old said: "We have a rule: one vagina is for work, and the other is for him."

Annie, from Surrey, was diagnosed with uterus didelphys when she went to get a contraceptive coil fitted aged 16.
The medical phenomenon means that the model could conceive two babies with two different men at the same time.
She also has two periods every month – something she manages with contraception – and says both are “completely functional”.
But does not have two vulvas - the outside genitalia that is visible.

After finding love this year, Annie and her boyfriend came up with the rather quirky boundary in their relationship.
He has been "incredibly supportive";, and the pair are "really happy", she said.
The online star, who is protecting her beau's identity, added: "He’s amazing.
"I didn’t tell him about my condition until after we had sex for the first time.
"He reacted with shock and then he asked me a ton of questions and was super curious.
"It was curiosity more than anything, and then he said, ‘I want to claim one. I want one for me and then you can use the other one for work’ – and that was how we got the arrangement."
While it has made her a millionaire, Annie's condition comes with its challenges.
She has been told that she will likely experience "very difficult" pregnancies, and is at increased risk of miscarriage.
Annie said: "I went with a friend to get a contraceptive coil fitted and the nurse was poking around down there and made a confused and surprised sound.
";It wasn’t the most encouraging thing for a young woman to hear when that sort of thing is happening.
"The nurse got a doctor and it went down a gynaecology route; this male doctor told me what it was in a very matter of fact way, and that was it.
"It wasn’t great to hear that having children would be very difficult and would include having lots of hospital visits and eventually giving birth preterm by C-section, as the foetus wouldn’t have enough space to be carried to full term.
"I was also told that there would be a chance of multiple miscarriages."
One vagina is for work, and the other is for my boyfriend.

While not immediately worried, she is concerned about one day becoming a parent.
"I’m too busy to be thinking about kids right now, but I think in future, pregnancy is going to be so tough for me with my condition and I think it’s been off-putting," she said.
"It’s something I’m incredibly nervous about.
"I’m scared to have children or even try to conceive, and I've had worries about it for a long time."
Initially, Annie kept her health condition a secret, even finding it challenging to break the news to her mum.
"I was a young woman and I was just starting to become interested in dating and exploring different parts of my body and I was suddenly told it was different to everyone else’s," she said.
"As a teenager, you want to be ‘normal’, and being told you weren’t, was really quite scary and I went off the rails a little."
But by the time she went to university to study philosophy and religion, she had learnt to open up - even using the quip, "I have two vaginas" as an icebreaker.
Now, Annie has embraced her unique situation wholeheartedly, and shares her story to help others.
"I stopped looking at it as a medical issue, and all the problems that could arise from having children," she said.
"Instead, I see it as something that is just a super-cool aspect of myself.

"People are shocked but also so interested.
"Now, I’ve completely embraced it and accepted it as part of myself, and I’ve never been more confident."

What is uterus didelphys?
UTERUS didelphys is a rare congenital condition where sufferers are born with two uteruses.
Each one has its own fallopian tube and ovary. Some people may also have two cervixes and two vaginal canals.
The most common symptoms include:
- Painful sex
- Cramping before and during your period
- Heavy or abnormal bleeding during your period
- Leaking blood when using a tampon
About 0.3 per cent of the population has uterus didelphys.
It can cause pregnancy complications, such as an increased risk of miscarriage and preterm birth, as well as painful periods.
Surgery is not usually required, unless someone experiences repeated pregnancy loss or very painful intercourse.
