Industry Reviews
"Hot Pantz provides readers with an understanding of anatomy, recipes to conquer yeast infections and hormonal imbalances, an extensive glossary of self-healing herbs, a list of aphrodisiacs, and it provides instructions on how to give foot massages that will alleviate cramps! I can't tell you how often I consult this zine, or how excited I've been to share information from this zine with a friend in need." --Bitch Magazine

"Hot Pantz, the DIY gynecology zine that's been on the bookshelf of every savvy riot wiccan and herbal grrrl since it was first published in 1994. If there was one object I'd like to place lovingly in the hands of every woman I meet, it's this guide to, as the authors put it, "knowing more about your cunt than your doctor does." With herbal recipes for everything from treating STIs to brewing aphrodesiacs, it's a well-researched, clearly-written, non-condescending booklet that has helped me, at least, feel like my "area" isn't a foreign country that I have to learn a whole new language to visit." --Active Distribution
