Pacific Sexual and reproductive health is influenced by cultural taboos and sensitivities. Although Pacific values are integral to family planning, open communication in the home is often difficult in the face of changing socio-cultural norms. This study explores the experiences of iTaukei Pacific women living in Fiji and Aotearoa New Zealand, and their discussion of family planning within the family setting. The study utilises  talanoa  methodology to understand women’s realities and their navigation through shifting sexual and reproductive norms in both countries. The study found that although family may be seen as a place of ‘truth’ in which appropriate, culturally sensitive family planning communication should be available, this was challenged by cultural taboos or  tabu  which were persistent in family planning discussions. The study calls for greater reliance on holistic approaches to Pacific family planning perspectives and a greater examination of  vā  or the spaces within which Pacific women’s experiences are negotiated and informed.
