my inner lips srop down quite abit, i know you say this is normal but is there any surgical procedure or anything that can be done to make them smaller and have a flatter vagina.
I am 27 and had a baby just over 3 months ago which resulted in a lot of stitches internally and externally. I have noticed I have been left with flaps of jagged flesh in my vagina which rubs when I have sex. Is this normal?
Hi I'm nearly 15, I'm not sexually active but one side of my vaginal lips is longer than the other and it hangs.I'm worried that when I get a boyfriend he might think it's weird.is there something wrong with me? Xx
Hello Jenny. There is nothing wrong with you at all. Your vulva (vagina) is the same as the rest of your body one side is bigger than the other. You have one hand bigger than the other one foot, one leg, one ear, so on and so forth. So just be happy the way your body is. Les xx
there is nothing at all wrong with this a lot of ladies have different size lips xx
It is beautiful honey. Embrace your gift, many men will find it extremely sexy!
Im 19 and im still a virgin, i have a boyfriend that i love very much, i have done sexual things to him but i am petrified of him touching me as i have abit of skin that hangs lower than my lips, is that normal? Im affraid to visit my GP about it because its highly embaressing!
sweetheart many many men are crazy for large labia! You should feel blessed and not embaressed. This extra skin and large lips are sexy as hell and many men will want to lick and suck them often if given the chance!

Hello Zoe. Dont worry everyone masturbates and you havent stretched any skin. To stretch skin you have to hang weight on the skin. You have gone from a girl to a young lady and your labia vagina lips have grown like the rest of your body. PS your boyfriend will love your vagina what ever it looks like. Les.
hi, im 14 and my inner labia is longer then the other. it sticks out and i feel very uncomfertable. i know im young but i have been with my boyfriend for 2 years. i have done sexual things to him but he wants to do them to me. this weekend we arranged to meet up, he wants to finger me i said yes cause i love him but i am worried if down there is like wrong. he has fingered someone else before he is a year older then me. he says it doesnt hurt but im not worried about it, im worried my vagina isnt normal please help.
If he doesn't except you for who you are, he isn't worth it. Be comfortable, and act like you're laid back... If you seem worried, it's rather uncomfortable for your partner.
My vaginal lips are purplish they hav been like that for a while *note i was rapped at age 5* and i was wondering why they are like that and if there is anything i could do to fix them...please help
Hello Nicole. Labia (lips) come in all shades and length. Some are pinkish to very dark brown. As for length anything from 0mm to 50mm and they are all normal. Les.
Hello, I am nearly 14 and I am not sexually active. Recently I have started to get a yellowy coloured discharge it smells and it is worrying me abit, I am to scared to see a doctor as I would feel to uncomfortable but I wondered is there anything else I can do about it? also I am worried about the look of my vagina my labia hangs lower on one side than it does the other, is this normal?
Every now and again, i can smell amonia on my knickers, its very strong and im paranoid that my boyfriend can also smell it. Any ideas?
It sounds like BV, bacterial vaginosis. You should research it.
I know i shouldn't be having sex at my age, but i am nearly 16 now. But i lost my virgintt when i was 14, the guy wasn't very big and made sure i was okay. The only thing was i had sex with him after that and i still felt main, even during fingering i feel pain, and usually the person can only fit 1 finger or i bleed. I had sex with someone much bigger about 5 months ago i found blood in my knickers the next day. Does anyone know a way of getting this pain to go? I find i cannot enjoy sex as its too painful, and have now stopped having sex completely because of the pain. Im too scared to go to the doctors about it, because i feel embrassed and not normal. All my friends talk about sex and say how great it is. why do they not feel pain and i do?
It is so sad that at your age you think you need to be having sex. I would advise you to wait for that one special person who truely loves you and that you want to share your life with. I hope you are using birth control.And being aware of STDS. As far as the blood and pain go I would advise you see a gynecologist. The pain could be that your hymen(a fold of mucous membrane partly closing the external orifice of the vagina in a virgin.)is still partially intact.
