Frequently asked questions

Here is what you need to know:

1. Appointment

This is no surprise - it all starts with the appointment. Let’s choose a date to make the magic happen.

2. Process

Tea, anatomy books, statues, chatting, laughing and somewhere in between, I will cast your vulva.

3. Statue

Anticipation is the greatest joy, they say. While I’m working my magic on your statue, all you have to do is wait and tell everyone about how much fun you had.

1. Appointment

Here you can find the most frequent questions concerning your appointment as well as things you might want to know before coming to your vulva casting.

Yes, 100%!

During the casting process no photos or videos are taken by me unless agreed upon in advance. With your written agreement on the consent form, I take photos of the finished vulva statues to show their diversity to Vulvarium’s audience. Agreeing to those photos is not mandatory at all.

Throughout the working process, the statues are all marked with a number and only I know which number goes with which name, so everything is completely anonymous.

If you choose to be part of “the stories” section and share some words with other people with vulvas out there, I will only mention one single letter of your choice, your age, and your country. If you still feel unsure about this bit of information, we can of course publish it anonymously to make you feel comfortable and safe.

It is simple! Just go to the BOOKING session on this website and choose a city, date and timeslot.

Feel free to contact me if you have any unanswered questions so that you can feel comfortable and well informed about your upcoming vulva casting experience.

Not a problem. Just write me a message to let me know where you are from. I have various waiting lists for different cities and countries and once I have a certain amount of people signed up for a particular location, I will organize a trip and we’ll make it happen.

If you want to make sure that you stay up to date with my tour dates, feel free to sign up for my newsletter in which I will inform you about the routes.

In case you really do not want to wait until I come to your city, I recommend that you purchase one of my DIY vulva casting kits. You can find them in the Shop section on this page.

The current price for having your vulva cast is 390€. This price includes a 60-80min one-on-one casting session as well as the vulva statue itself with your colour of choice. Gold leaf finishing can be added for an extra 50€.

In addition to that, I do offer a Pussy Pall Package and a Pussy Party Package.

The Pussy Pals Package is my personal favourite, since you can share the vulva casting experience with your best friend, your partner, your sister, your favourite work colleague etc. It includes two vulva castings, lots of laughter and quality time together and you will get a free bottle of alcoholic or non-alcoholic Prosecco to celebrate.

The Pussy Party Package is the perfect choice if you cannot choose between all the fantastic people who should join you for the vulva casting and you therefore want to bring them all. This session is designed for a minimum of four people and includes a lot of fun, plenty of stories and experiences, Prosecco, vegan snacks as well as a package of polaroid photos to capture the moment. This casting session takes at least 120min and there is no limitation in time, since we just go with the flow (of the Prosecco).

In addition to every vulva statue, an optional “Pocket Pussy” can be added. The Pocket Pussy is small enough to fit into any bag so that it can be taken anywhere you go and costs an additional 120€.

In most cases you will receive your cast via post, which is not included in the price. Postage varies from country to country and will be added automatically during the booking process. You will see the price before you confirm your booking.

Gift vouchers can be purchased in print as well as digitally via email.

In case your financial situation does not allow you to get a vulva statue during a casting session with me, I absolutely recommend that you purchase one of my DIY vulva casting kits, which are a great and much cheaper alternative. They contain enough materials for two vulva sculptures and are sold internationally for 149€ plus shipping. Feel free to visit the shop section on this page for more info.

It is completely up to you if you want to come alone or with company.

Generally, the vulva casting session is supposed to be about you and your vulva only, so you are more than welcome to come on your own and enjoy this special kind of “you-time’’.

I do like to mention though, that little groups in which every person gets a cast, are typically very fun and educational as the various experiences and thoughts from different people are a great added value.

Sharing the vulva casting experience with your partner, especially if they do not have a vulva themselves, is also very eye opening for many since the anatomy of the vulva is not usually discussed at all.

Whatever you choose is fine for me, but please let me know in advance how you decide so that I can prepare accordingly.

Yes- Vulva casting vouchers are fantastic gifts! Whether it is for a partner, colleague, family member or friend – the people that receive these vouchers always bring along this special sort of excitement and energy that turns the casting session into a great experience.

You can either receive a printed version of the voucher or a digital one via email.

Yes, I offer various workshops for many different occasion including festivals, educational events as well as private parties.

These can either be organized together with my experienced team of therapists and educators, or together with you. I am always happy to collaborate, exchange and connect with anyone interested in promoting body positivity so if you want to add the vulva castings to your already existing program, I am happy to hear your ideas.

Please contact me directly so that we can discuss what is best for your specific event.

For everyone who’s calendar is as cluttered and chaotic as mine – I am aware that plans might change, so cancelling the appointment is always possible. If you do so, please keep the following cancellation policy in mind:

For cancellations up to 45 days prior to the vulva casting appointment, a full refund of payment will be issued since I have enough time to find a replacement for your spot.

For cancellations up to 14 days prior to the vulva casting appointment, a refund of payment will be issued with a 100€ deduction for administrational effort. At this point in time, finding someone to take your spot comes with a fair amount of extra work. I am sure you understand that I have to charge a little for that.

For cancellations less than 14 days prior to the vulva casting appointment, no refund of payment will be issued. By then, I have counted you in and am already halfway out the door to start the casting tour. Finding a replacement for you is nearly impossible and your spot will very likely remain unfilled, leaving me with no income. I cannot afford that, so the vulva casting has to be paid whether you show up or not. I therefore recommend you show up 🙂

Note that you can always find a replacement for yourself. So, if someone you know can take your spot, just let me know and we make the changes without additional charges or deductions.

2. Process

This section covers the most frequent questions related to the vulva casting session.

After preparing a nice cup of tea for you we will chat and get to know each other a bit. I will share some of my experiences with you, show you some statues and also go through the casting process with you, explaining step by step how the cast is done and which materials are involved. All you have to know at this point is that the materials are 100% skin-friendly and that the casting does not hurt or feel uncomfortable at all.

Once we both feel ready and comfortable, we move on to the vulva casting process. After freshening up in my bathroom we are ready to start, and the whole process is done in around 20 min. You can then jump back into the bathroom or even shower while I prepare your preliminary cast, which you can then explore.

I dare to promise that you will have quite some fun during your casting session and that you will probably want to do it again. 🙂 If you are unsure about something or have more questions, feel free to contact me directly.

Even though I personally am a big fan of body hair I would prefer if you shaved or at least trimmed your pubic hair for the day of the casting. From experience, the cast will turn out much more detailed without hair.

If you do not want to or if you are unable to shave just contact me and we will find a solution together.

Besides that, try to avoid very tight clothing or very tight underwear that may leave prints on your skin because the product I am using picks up every tiny detail.

Other than that, nothing else needs to be prepared for the day of the casting.

Yes, you can.

Tampons and cups are perfectly fine for the casting process and will not be seen on the statue (unless we want them to be seen). Apart from that, you can go to the bathroom and freshen up before as well as after the casting process.

Also, I do know that some people do not always feel 100% comfortable and beautiful during their period. So, if you have your days and prefer to postpone the appointment, this is fine with me.

Please just be aware of my cancellation policy, which you can find in my FAQs.

No, not at all.

You will have the possibility to freshen up or shower before and after the casting. The casting product is skin friendly, only applied to the outside of the vulva and easily washed off. I use disposable materials that are thrown away after one casting.

Once the copy of your vulva has been removed from your body, the moulding process begins. Hereby, the liquid material automatically heats itself to up to 60°C, turning the vulva statue into a completely sterile and clean product.

At the moment, I do not offer to cast penises or other body parts as the main focus of Vulvarium lies on portraying the beauty and diversity of vulvas.

The shop section on this page contains a detailed description, plenty of photos, shipping prices and FAQ’s concerning the Vulvarium DIY kit, so feel free to head there for more info.

3. Statue

Here you can find answers to the most frequent questions related to the vulva statue itself.

This is completely up to you.

In order to create a gallery that represents the diversity and beauty of different vulvas, I want to take photos of as many finished statues as possible, but of course it is your decision whether your statue should be photographed or not.

If you agree to it, I will anonymously post the pictures onto the gallery as well as onto my social media sites so that other people with vulvas can feel empowered when finding themselves represented in one or the other photo.

If you do not want to have your pictures added to the gallery, just let me know on the day of the casting by stating so on your consent form.

Both options are absolutely fine for me.

Depending on the workload, your vulva statue will be finished within 2-3 months. It is a lot of work and I really want to ensure the best quality for everyone, so you will have to be patient. If you need it urgently, it can be done sooner.

We can then either meet somewhere for a personal handing-over or exchange details to have your statue sent to you by post.

There are plenty of reasons why you should get a statue of your vulva. My top 6 reasons can be found under the “Why?” section of this website.

So far, the general reaction when receiving the vulva statue has always been pure joy and excitement.

Of course, a lot of how your vulva cast looks depends on the position in which you sat during the casting as well as how your labia was positioned. Your cast is a snapshot of that very moment. So if you feel that this snapshot is not a good representation of your beautiful vulva, please let me know so that we can find a solution. The aim is for you to love your vulva, so if it is necessary to redo the statue in order for you to fall in love with it, we can meet again for another casting.

There are a few special statues that have been specifically made to be sold and the participants agreed to this by stating so on their consent form.

Information about these statues will be sent out in my newsletter or via Social Media.

It is absolutely not possible to ask for a copy of any other statue than the ones advertised for sale.
