A woman from UK, who suffers from a million-to-one condition of having two vaginas, has said that she effectively lost her virginity twice.
Hazel Jones from High Wycombe, who suffers from uterus didelphys, has two separate uteruses and cervixes as well.
The 27-year-old told ITV's 'This Morning' that she was comfortable with having the condition.
"Once I found out what it was I told everybody," the Daily Mail quoted her as saying.
"I thought it was amazing and it's definitely an ice-breaker at parties.
"If women want to have a look, I'm quite happy to show them, it's not something I'm embarrassed by," she said.
Jones went to the doctor after her long-term boyfriend told her she was ''different'' in the genital area.
She has two wombs, two cervixes and a dividing wall between two vaginas
"When developing in the womb girls start with two tubes. These fuse and the septum breaks down and forms one uterus," Doctor Dawn Harper said.
"In around one in 3,000 cases the septum stays within the uterus but to actually have two separate uteruses is much rarer," Harper added.
Jones said that previously she had found sex very uncomfortable, but now she didn't suffer any adverse effects. She turned down surgery as it could have left significant scar tissue.
