YouTube vlogger Cassandra Bankson reveals what sex is like with TWO VAGINAS
The vlogger hopes being open about her condition will help others
YouTube stars are known for putting their whole life out there, but few are as open as Cassandra Bankson about something this personal.
The vlogger is best known for her beauty videos, but she surprised her fans in 2014 when she opened up about having two vaginas.
Cassandra, 23, only found out about her condition, called uterus didelpys, after going to the doctor because her back was hurting.
She was told she has two uteri, two cervixes and two fallopian tubes, but just one vaginal opening.
Unsurprisingly, people are always keen to find out more about her condition, so she's answered some questions put to her by .
One of the biggest things for Cassandra was realising what she'd experienced her whole life wasn't the same as what other young women went through.
"When I was younger, I wasn't aware other girls didn't have two-week periods," she said.
"From a young age, extended cycles, cramps and headaches have been a monthly routine."
The vlogger has two periods each month, although they do overlap.
That's because the hormones which kick in when she has one make the other start, which is also the reason why she never realised she was different as she was growing up.
"I’ve been hospitalised for cramps and in one instance bled for 28 days," she added.
At the moment, Cassandra doesn't know if she'll be able to have children naturally.
She likens her vaginas to a nose which is separated by the septum. So both are a bit smaller than an average vagina.
Sexually things can be hard, with the star saying: "It's a situation that I still struggle to discuss.

"When I was younger I went through a series of traumatic situations and events.
"Those experiences have affected my romantic and sexual life more than anything else."
That hasn't stopped her speaking up about her condition though, and she has no problem telling me she wants to be romantic with.
She's found joking about her condition helps, especially as it stops anyone being negative.
"When I first told my mother, she smiled and with a laugh joked I must ‘have two a******* too’ as it would explain my ‘attitude,'" she laughed.
That said, not everyone has been accepting.
Cassandra has been targeted by trolls since her revelation, which she's found incredibly tough. She has no regrets about being open though, insisting it'll help others who are dealing with the same thing.
