Why do women's "shy areas" frequently change color?

As they age, many women find that their bodies have undergone subtle changes. Not only did the breasts develop and the pubic hair grow, but the color of the private parts also became darker. So why do women’s private parts change color? For the health of private parts, how should women take care of their private parts?

Why do women's private parts change color?

1. The color of the labia will change accordingly

People grow up slowly, and as they grow up, their lifestyle and diet will also change. This will also cause the color of many women's labia to change. For example, women who like to wear tight pants and women who have sex will have their private parts become relatively darker in color. This is due to long-term and repeated external friction and stimulation of the labia, which causes local pigmentation and is a normal physiological phenomenon.

2. The color of the labia varies from person to person

Everyone's body structure is the same, but has different shapes. The same is true for the color of a woman's labia, which has no uniform color standard. Some women have light pink color, some have brownish red, and some even have two colors. These shapes are normal as long as they are not caused by pathology.

3. The color of the labia minora changes when you are sexually excited

Expert research shows that no matter whether women are childbearing or not, when they become sexually excited, their labia minora will become swollen and their diameter will expand to 2-3 times their usual length. This is also a natural protection mode that can help guide the opening so that men can enter better. Therefore, many experienced men will judge whether a woman is ready for intimacy by looking at the color of her labia minora.

4. Labia minora is called "sexual skin"

When a woman is sexually aroused, the color of her labia may change. If the color becomes darker, it means that the varicose veins in the pelvis and labia are more serious. The labia minora in this sexually responsive state is called "sexual skin". It is not difficult to understand why the color of the labia minora can quickly return to its original state after the sexual stimulation of women is withdrawn. This is because congestion is caused by a certain stimulation, and its color disappears much faster than the increase in labia diameter caused by sexual tension.

How should women take care of their private parts?

1. Choose suitable underwear.

Good underwear provides cleanliness and loose space, and it is recommended to choose 100% cotton material. Don't choose underwear made of composite materials, as they are easy to wash but lack breathability. It is not recommended to wear thongs frequently, as this will cause more friction to your private parts and lead to bacterial growth. Change your underwear every day, and the minimum water temperature for washing underwear should be 40℃.

2. Keep your private parts dry.

A humid environment is a natural breeding ground for bacteria. Do not wear a wet swimsuit or underwear for too long; dry your genitals as soon as possible after taking a bath; after each sexual intercourse, it is recommended to wash the vulva and dry it with a dry towel.

3. Vaginal douching does not provide contraception.

Many people mistakenly believe that cleaning the vagina after sexual intercourse can reduce the chance of pregnancy. In fact, this method not only fails to have a contraceptive effect, but it can easily lead to vaginal fungal infection and cause vaginitis.

4. Have a moderate sex life.

Moderate sex life is the best SPA for your private parts. Avoid excessive sex life. Excessive sexual excitement will cause extreme endocrine hyperactivity, leading to an increased incidence of breast hyperplasia and uterine fibroids.

5. Ensure proper cleaning.

Wash your private parts every night before going to bed, but only the vulva, clitoris, labia and other parts, not including the vagina. The inside of the vagina originally maintains a balanced bacterial environment. Excessive cleaning will destroy this balance and easily promote the reproduction of bacteria and viruses. Choose a mild cleanser and avoid using bactericidal or descaling products, as these are too irritating to the delicate vagina. You can also use wet wipes to clean your genitals, but choose products that are mild, non-scented, and alcohol-free.
