i dont think ive always had a problem im18 years old and only slept with a few people but the more people ive slept with i feel like the rght hand side to my labia has gotten bigger…i feel really embarrassed by it however compared to that video i dont feel like its that bad…and my boyfriend has never mentioned anything to me i thin its the fact of feeling different to other womem like abnormal different…im scared if i get a new patner sometime i the future that they might have a different view on the matter and some what take the mik…. i just wish i had normal lips that i was comfortable with :/

Joe you are absolutely correct Guy's are not Bothered about what the size of a woman's Labia as you said it's a turn on.

As a guy i love them – don't worry or get surgery. All the guys i know like large labias too. It gives us something to play with and they're sexy!

im under sixteen and i hate my problem!
is it free on the nhs? im 13

I have the same problem as the lady in the vidio, my labia is way to long, feels horible, i just want to cut it off
is there any way i can get rid off it, im 14 should i tell my mum ?
thanks

i also have an enlarged labia and was very self conscious with my body.This isn't a problem to men and i realised this when the person i lost my virginity to complemented me and said that he loved it. This made me more confident with my body. My boyfriend also hasn't said anything to me about it either and i feel comfortable being naked around him. You have nothing to worry about, in my opinion i think men like an enlarged labia more than a smaller one.

mine is far worse!!!!
what was she complaining about, i would rather have her lips than mine!!!
they wasnt even bad!

Im 16..nearly 17. ive been with my boyfriend for a year and 4 months. we both are very sexually active.. is dat a good thing or bad? because last year, some people came to my school and was talking about HPV and the said if your sexually active your most likely to have HPV. But Ive got myself checked up for anything, but i was clean. so since me and my boyfriend been together we have sex everyday. And about my labia, ive got it got cut (circumised) since i was very little so ive got no problem about it, and my boyfriend and other people that i have had sex with says it feel very nice. thats why my boyfriend wants to do it most of the time and now i started takin the pill, he likes it more but he can't last very long and sometimes it annoys me.. is dat normal for a boy no to last very lonng?

i hate my vagina the labia is worse thn hers in this video its really embarrasing and i jst wish it was gone i would really lke tht surgery she had and wz wondering if its free on the nhs.

i am 16 and since i can remember i av always hated my labia i think its absolutly horrible and have always wanted it removed but i have never told or shown it anyone it doesnt really hand down it just sticks out a little bit and it feels horribe when i touch it also the "hood" of my clit is abit enlarged I dont want to go to my gp on my own or have surgery on my own, but im to scared to tell anyone. I have bin with my boyfriend for a year and 7 months and he has never seen my vigina. He used to ask questions why i never let him touch it or see it in the light and i just used to say cuz i dont want you to and change the subject. He gets frustrated sometimes when he feels like having sex and wants to touch me and i push him away i am getting really sick off it and just want it go away!!!!
