Going to a gynaecologist is probably the last thing on most of our minds. Who needs a check-up when you are in your 20s, right? Wrong. One look at the stats and you’ll realise that you are at a far higher risk of STD and cervical cancer in your 20s.
To encourage women to be more aware of these conditions, author Danielle Sepulveres got together with her friend and artist Maritza Lugo to spread some awareness. She decided to cash in on the popular trend (on social media) of re-adapting Disney Princesses to real life situations and decided to put Belle and her gang of princesses in a gynaecologist’s clinic.
She hopes that this series reminds women to go in for a regular annual check-up and helps them talk openly about cervical and other cancers. “People don’t talk about it, but it should be discussed because it’s so prevalent,” she told HuffPost.
Check out the Disney princesses talking to their doctors about everything from family planning to getting a standard STD examination here.
