I am a man, and I like big long labias! They are very sexy! Best for me! Labioplasty - horror of 21 century... Do nothing with your lips!

Hi Mike, thanks for your response. It is always nice to hear from readers and your insight is appreciated. My patients tend to share that they do not have these procedures for other people. They even go as far as to say their partners are either supportive or not concerned (i.e. "like them the way they are"), therefore the majority of these women do it for themselves. However, thank you again for taking the time to remind everyone that the labia is beautiful large or small!

I hate my labia they chaf they cause me many yeast infections and sometimes one side can fall out of my underwear and let's not talk about if my underwear where a little tight then here comes another yeast infection simply because my labias are closed in tightly and my vagina can't breath....if I separate my labia then put panties on then they get irritated and here's another infection I'm in tears because damned if I do and damned if I don't!!!

I always hated my labia - they are large and prominent and hang down between my legs. But I have had several sexual partners (I am a part time escort), and, despite the fact that my clients have seen multiple partners in their lives, no-one has ever said my vagina was anything but beautiful. I am now in my 40s and for the first time in my life I think I am actually proud of how my bits look! I know there are guys out there who would specifically search me out for my large labia, and I know that even if my shape is not particularly what a guy looks for in a girl - none of them have ever made any derogatory comments. Mine hang down a good inch from my outer lips, and yet I have never suffered any chafing or infections or irritations - I am not sure you could accuse large labia of causing this. (and I am an endurance rider and can be riding a horse for up to 12 hours with no problems). So - ladies - please learn to love your vaginas - Smaller labia will not make your particular vagina more beautiful I don't think. Vaginas are vaginas - smaller labia do not make them attractive. Trust me - I have had probably 100 men have a close up view of my vagina and not one of them has complained!
take care xxx

why does life hav 2 b so hard? i have a massive labia and i'm afraid when i hav sex with my boyfriend, he'll dump me and then ill be doomed cos like i'm in love with him.

Hi,

I have an enlarged labia and I hated myself for it I thought I was alone until one day I researched it and came to find it was actually quite normal. I was however very shy when it came to intercourse and stayed away until I met a guy who swept me off my feet and he's never said anything negative about my labia, I'm still insecure but I've learned to embrace it, everyones different and that's what makes us beautiful. I'm also lucky in that it doesn't cause me any physical discomfort but I'm sure if it ever does I'll probably get something done.

Quick question, if you happen to know about this.. I was thinking of getting laser hair removal do you think that having an enlarged labia will be any problem?

Thank you!

My daughter is 13 and she came to me about a year ago complaining of pain "down there" and wanted me to look at it. I was taken aback because her labia minora hung down about 3 inches past everything else. We researched this together and found out it is quite common and the pain was probably from the sensitive skin rubbing against her clothes. She has complained off and on about being uncomfortable but over the last week she is crying everyday about pain. The dr. gave her medicine for a bladder infection but it hasn't helped the pain. She said the pain is inside the tissue that hangs down. She has no lumps, bumps or anything that looks different. She has stopped playing sports and comes home crying everyday about the pain. Can a 13 -14 year old have this procedure? This seems extreme to me but I don't know what else to do for her pain! She isn't sexually active , she started her menstrual cycle when she was 12. She keeps saying she just wants them cut off!
Any advice?

my girlfriend is having large labia,why the size of labia is so large is it from having so much sex with diffrent guys?

I have large labia and didn't realize there was anything "wrong" with them until I was 19. Imagine my embarrassment when I finally learned this!
A decade later, I'm married with children and have a very incredible sex life. My husband claims to enjoy eating me, and loves having sex with me.
And yet the embarrassment gets worse as I get older. I'm constantly hit with a slap in the face at how unaesthetically pleasing I am. I become more aware daily of my lack of femininity. The term "beef curtains" makes me feel sick and ashamed of myself.
Anyway, the real purpose for my writing this is that I'm researching labia today and came across your article. I was hoping to actually get some benefit from it, but instead you really encourage surgery! I'm sad to see that.
Just remember, as you sit here telling women that labiaplasty is the way to go, that you're egging us all on to feel inferior.
It's not a woman's choice for herself to get this done. If my labia were seen as beautiful, I would not feel the pressure to cut them off for my husband's sake. No, he doesn't complain, but he's a smart man. Women do not do this for themselves unless they have physical pain. It's the emotional pain of being so physically grotesque and the enthusiastic reply of, "well, you can always have a labiaplasty! Here, let me hook you up with some doctors..." that is the final push.

Thank you, Mike, for your wonderful reply. I agree that labiaplasty is the horror of the 21st century.
Vanessa, you really should be ashamed for the surgical agenda you're pushing here.

My wife has kind of long lips.I only wish they were longer.I was divorced at 21 and been with over 100 women befor married again at 35.I am very turned on by long lips.I think they look great when having sex and when not.Don't get them cut off women out there.You probably look at a guys bulge.I love to see an outline of long lips in panties or cloths.

Hi, I'm kind of young but I'm always very interested in what people think about large labia. I have only had sex with one person but I've started thinking about doing stuff with my current boyfriend(not sex just yet). And I'm very open with him about everything including my body. I am very self conscience about my vagina because of my large labia. But I told my boyfriend that I was embarrassed for him to see my vagina because I think it looks weird. He asked me why it looked weird and I told him that I have large labia and he was so excited! He said he loves large labia because they are more sensitive and he thinks it is more attractive. Sometimes you just have to be straight forward with someone and you might be surprised by what you hear.

Hi, it`s interesting to read that many different opinions about a labia. I have a large labia since I was 16. From the year it grew large, I became so self-conscious that I haven`t had sex for 7 more years (age 23)!I was to ashamed to "show" it to any guy or ask a doctor about it. I never knew whether I`m normal or I exaggerate this issue. My large labia literally made a huge effect on my life, because it made me hate my body, what made my self-esteem destroyed. In my case it was an emotional story and not something about a physical discomfort. I do believe labiaplasty gives hope to a lot of women. I haven`t had it yet, but I might consider the option.

hi, im 17years old, noticed that my labia was larger than wat is seemed to be precieved as "normal" from the age of 14. at the moment its really depressing me, i feel that no boy is ever going to watn to touch me if they see what it looks like, i only feel confiedent wen im drunk and i feel the only way to go about it is surgery, even though some of the comments help reassure me, it doesnt stop the mentality of feeling "different" please help!

I'm 15 and I recently realized that I have larger labia. I was really scared and thought I wasn't normal until I started researching, I'm still scared of getting judgement and guys being disgusted.

One of my labia is larger than the other, and it has been for a long time. It does get annoying, but I don't often feel pain and the docs said that nothing is wrong and surgery is quick to do and only takes a month to recover. (I will be having the surgery next year) Just enjoy your life, as everyone is different in their own way. We're just lucky that it's down there and not where everyone can see!

Im 13, and have a large labia. It's comforting hearing all your story's but I still feel uncomfortable and gross. Having that wrinkly skin down there is repulsive. I haven't told anyone, not even my mom yet because I'm so embarrassed. It makes me self concious and have a lower self esteem. It also is a discomfort sometimes.mine arent 3 inches. Of flappy skin, but only about 1. All my friends don't seem to have anything! I feel different, like a misfit.

A little more about me: I am not overweight, but almost the opposite. I am a few pounds underweight. I am not a loner at school, but pretty popular.

Hi there.

I am 14 years old and so insecure about the way my labia looks.
One side is larger than the other. I mean,not only that the fact that when i walk i have loads of discomfort. I can almost feel it rubbing again my leg! I also get lot of thrush through it to. I have informed my mum already and she's making me a doctor's appointment tomorrow. I find it nerve racking that i have to let a doctor examen me. As my mother said it's for the best as i could have something wrong. I also sometimes have bad nightmares about how i would try chop it off. It feels like when i walk to places that are like pretty far like for instants walking to school which is literally across the road i start getting a burning pain or a rubbing pain. I have to make millions of excuses every day to my friends like my shoe lace,belly pains,sore foot. I'm also late to lessons as i have to stop for a a good 5 minuets to calm it down. Just ever so worried about the doctors.

Hi, I would like some opinion on my predicament. I know this is a really awkward question to ask, but one of my (I think) labium minor is rather large, with a piece of skin protrudes. Honestly, I really don't give a crap about cosmetic reasons. I'm 14, and I know this is early, but I would like to have a labiaplasty operation. This is not for cosmetic reasons, but instead for the chaffing and pain I get when I walk. It really doesn't hurt too much, but I ride horses and also do other sports, and even something small as riding a back or sitting down hurts. It protrudes for maybe 2 inches at the most, but only on that one side, and it's very very uncomfortable. I know it's early, but should I get the operation when I'm older, like 19, or so? It can be very painful sometimes, and it's not cosmetically, but i just want it gone!

I used to fall uncomfortable about having a large labia. But I no longer feel this way. Few times have I experienced physical discomfort. No odors, yeast infections etc. I just disliked the way it looked. But over time (I'm 42), I have learned to embrace its uniqueness, its unusual beauty and the extra sensations from engaging in sexual pleasures. Being bisexual, I have had male and female partners who (for their own reasons) admire the way it looks and enjoys performing oral sex because it heightens my sensations. If it was larger and/or caused any physical discomfort, I would have it SHORTENED, but not completely reduced to a "normal" size. My lips are my own and I love them.

Hi,
I have just noticed my labia over the past 6 months and I am just as self conscious as the rest. My labia it probably an inch long and I sometimes have discomfort too. Sometimes in phys. class, I'll go to the change room because of my discomfort of them rubbing from running. Only recently has it been a problem with their size and discomfort.

Either than that it's been how much of a misfit I've been feeling. It feels as if to me, no one in my school is as developed as I am down there. It drew me into studying such as, if it's normal for other woman, is it normal for girls my age, if I had a saggy vagina, how much for surgery, how common is it, and so on.
*It is normal for other woman, only 'til this site have I found girls 'my age', no a large labia (what look like lips or called the lips) isn't a saggy vagina, surgery depends on age and problem can start at 2000$ (I have read), and ook above for this one.*

Yes, I am considered popular. No, I am not joking or lying. (Like some may be thinking.) Every girl is self conscious in someway including 'us'. This has to be my biggest insecurity. Most of the girls around me have lost their virginity. Some sexually active. They're getting very curious with something very trouble some. Yet, nothing seems to be there. I do not feel pressured, but more 'out-of-the-loop' so to say. They're trying new things, and I am too self conscious to even consider it in my future.

I met this guy, and I mean he's my best friend. He's the reason what lead me to discover my labia. He isn't pressuring me like some of you, yet we have talked about it. For the future of course. I am not a 'slut'. as they say. I do not show my body off, I like to keep it private. More as in elegance and pride, then crudeness and shameful humility. Only to show for myself, and I've been thinking of telling him the truth. I feel as if he deserves to know, and maybe make me feel more confident with him and myself.

I have also talked to my mom about this, well not the discomfort. While studying, (because I am too ashamed to ask my mom, and that she doesn't fully understand this which she would like to think she does), I have found it may be or can be genetics. So, because of this I was intrigued to know what it the actual size of her labia. Harmful comments my mom has said before was to hide my labia if it was large with a 'bush', even though I find it brings more unpleasantness. Only to find she has what is considered long lips, or (after studying) a large majora for her case. Mine still larger, I was surprised to see it might be genetics!

I also want to know if it is, or isn't a myth if you're more sensitive in intercorse if you have a large labia. I can never get a straight answer!

Hopefully I covered every question for us teens!

Thanks, it means a lot!
