- A woman born with a condition called Uterus Didelphys shares her story.
- This is where a woman has two functional reproductive systems, including two vaginas.
- The former sex worker says she used to use one for work and the other for her husband.
Fox 26 Houston covered the story of a woman who has a rare condition: being born with two vaginas. After years of not knowing what to do, she's formulated a clear path forward.
She says she uses one for her husband, and the second one is for business. The Australian woman, who was once a sex worker, is one in 2 000 with the double distinction in the world. She joined news anchor Isiah Carey to talk about her condition.

When asked when she learned she had two vaginas, she responded, "I knew something was wrong from a really young age, when I was about 14. When I got my period, I was using a tampon, and it never worked because I had another hole. I remember telling my mom that it wasn't working, and she said that I was doing it wrong."
Then she went on to describe her sex life as she got older. "When I got older and started having sex, it felt so strange because the penis was going in on either side because I didn't know I had two holes. The penis would come out and hit the wall, and it would be painful."

She added that the two vaginas are separated by a wall and that she only found out what the condition was when she turned 30. When asked why she never examined herself, she responded, "Back then, we didn't have internet, and I grew up on a farm with my dad, so I didn't have access to see what it should look like. I also didn't want to acknowledge that there was something wrong with me.
"I only found out when I went to terminate a pregnancy at the age of 20. They said I have two independent reproductive systems. People say it looks like a shotgun, so technically, I can have two babies by two different men at the same time."

When she met her husband, she made it a point to let him know of her condition before they became intimate. She also explained how each vagina has a different purpose. "I had a healthcare job, but I ended up in the sex work industry by choice. I worked as an escort briefly, and so I used one side for work and one side for my private life," she said.
"In a way, I felt like I wasn't cheating since there was a physical separation between work and pleasure." As a sex worker, she says she would direct her clients to the specific side she wanted them to go. "I avoided telling clients even though some found out, but those who didn't, I just manoeuvred my body to one side."

When Evelyn left the sex work industry, she met her husband, who encouraged her to join OnlyFans. She wasn't upfront about her condition at the beginning of her OnlyFans career, only revealing it later. She also added that the condition is called Uterus Didelphys, which has many mutations, and she has the most severe form.
"It's extremely rare; some women have one vagina and two cervixes. In my case, I need two pap smears, and I can get thrush in one and not the other, and I get two periods that are at least a day apart. Both ovaries release eggs at the same time, which is why I can get pregnant on both sides since they're both fertile. I've had two babies on the right one."
