What is the normal size of a woman's vulva?

In China, due to the lack of sexual knowledge, many women do not know what a normal vulva should look like, and often think that their vulva is very ugly and enlarged. In fact, the female vulva is often divided into labia majora and labia minora. The shape of each woman's vulva is different, and the length and type of the labia majora and labia minora are also different. So, how big is the normal female vulva opening?

About the labia majora

Speaking of labia majora, I believe everyone knows what it is! (If you don’t know, click on the "Vulva" chapter to learn about it. The editor can only help you here...) The shape of each person's labia majora is still very different, but its length is basically between 4.0 and 11.5 cm, with an average length of 8.1 cm, which is about the length of a small bottle of nail polish. And the study also found that the length of the labia majora will become smaller with age. Isn't it amazing?

The labia minora are located between the two labia majora and are darker in color. The two labia minora are not symmetrical, their length and width are different. Let’s talk about the labia minora on the left side first. Its average width is 2.1 cm (between 0.4 and 6.4 cm) and its average length is 4 cm (between 1.2 and 7.5 cm). The average width of the labia minora on the right side is 1.9 cm (between 0.3 and 7.0 cm), and the average length is 3.8 cm (between 0.8 and 8.0 cm).

So statistically speaking, the labia minora on the left is larger than that on the right. Of course, this is just statistical data and it is not the case for everyone! At the same time, we will also find that the size of each person's labia minora varies greatly. Taking the left labia minora as an example, the width ranges from 0.4 to 6.0 cm. So, girls, don't worry too much about the size of your labia minora, because there really is no clear size standard!

At the same time, like the labia majora, the length of the labia minora will also decrease with age, because they grow together!

How could researchers ignore the size of this important switch that determines girls' orgasms? However, like the labia minora, there are also great individual differences in the size of the clitoris. The average width of the clitoris is 0.8 cm and its length is 1.6 cm. But if you look at the numerical range, you will find that the width spans from 0.2 to 2.5 cm, and the length spans from 0.4 to 4.0 cm.

Don't forget that the clitoris will still erect! So what is the size of the clitoris in an erect state? An interesting phenomenon was found in the study. The size of the clitoris in an erect state is related to whether the clitoris is frequently stimulated to achieve orgasm. If you regularly orgasm through direct clitoral stimulation, your clitoris will be larger when erect than someone who doesn't orgasm as often.

Brook McFadden's study did not report vaginal size, but combining the two studies in 2005 and 1995, it can be concluded that the average length of the vagina is 9.6 cm (between 6.5 and 12.5 cm) and the width is between 2.1 and 3.5 cm.

What should an 18+ sized penis do if it is so short? The good news is that the vagina can also stretch during sexual arousal, and the extension range is about twice the original length. However, the bad news is that the longer and thicker the penis is, the better.

But it’s important to note that even if you have issues with painful intercourse, your vaginal size may still be within this measurement range. Because we know that the size of the vagina can change, for example during fully aroused sex or during childbirth. Therefore, the size of the vagina under normal circumstances does not indicate any substantial problem.

So, don't get hung up on sizes. There is no absolute standardized size for the clitoris, vagina, or labia. The study also found that women's satisfaction with their various sizes has no correlation with their actual size. In other words, as long as you are confident enough, size is not a problem at all! Ladies, what do you have to worry about?
