All your questions answered by Violet staff and board-certified OB/GYNs

Can Clitoris have erections?

In short, yes. The clitoris is not just what is externally visible, but extends back into the body. When aroused, blood rushes to the tissue that makes up the clit (which is developed from the same tissue that develops into a penis), causing it to become swelled with blood. This is the process of a clitoral erection. The clit is extra sensitive and has high pleasure potential in this state.

Which ovary releases an egg each month?

Usually one egg is released each cycle, and the ovaries alternate releasing that egg. So, if one cycle the right ovary releases an egg, the next cycle the left ovary releases an egg.

Is it normal to suddenly start bleeding more on your period?

Your period can fluctuate a lot in frequency, duration, and heaviness, especially in the first few years of getting your period. A lot of different factors can change your period: stress, diet and exercise, medications, and more.

Is delivery only in Maryland?

For our free online store, delivery is available for condoms anywhere in the US. All other products are Maryland only. Hopefully one day, we'll have the resources to make everything free in all states!! :)

Does Violet sell birth control?

Violet does not sell birth control, but we do give out free condoms. You can get some for free at violetproject.org/store. While we don't sell birth control, here are some recommendations for places that can mail you birth control pills! https://www.nurx.com/birthcontrol/ https://hellowisp.com/shop/birth-control https://www.twentyeighthealth.com/birth-control https://thepillclub.com/

Can the birth control pill turn you straight?

No, not really! Birth control doesn't affect your sexual orientation. Birth control pills have hormones in them that affect your menstrual cycle and help prevent you from getting pregnant. For more information on how different birth control methods work, check out this section: https://www.violetproject.org/contraception

Do you have pregnancy tests?

Currently, we do not. We are working on getting them though, so stay tuned!
