What do female labia look like?

Generally speaking, women will develop secondary sexual characteristics when they enter puberty. At this time, women themselves are very concerned about their body changes, especially the changes in their genitals. This is all relatively normal. So is it normal for the labia minora to be of different sizes? This is also a concern for many women. I hope everyone can have a certain understanding of this situation.

What do normal labia look like?

First, let's understand what the labia are. The vulva is an important part of the female reproductive organ. It is divided into two types: labia majora and labia minora. It is located on both sides of the vulva and may also have hair. The labia majora may cover the entire vulva. The sides of the labia majora may be closer to the color of other parts of the body, while the inside may be darker or lighter. But there are actually many different transformations.

In some women, the labia minora may be larger than the vulva and protrude more. This is all very normal. The labia majora and minora are named according to their location, shape, and actual size, but they vary from person to person and are highly variable.

The vulva is part of the female external genitalia, which includes the labia majora and labia minora, and acts like a double "gateway" to protect the vulva and urethra from infection.

In a woman's childhood, the two vulvae fit tightly together with a slight gap in the middle. After the onset of puberty, pubic hair begins to grow on both sides of the labia majora, and the inside becomes smooth and moist. After entering puberty, some small raised spots will grow on the inside of the vulva, which are plant oil glands. This gland secretes vegetable oils to keep the area lubricated.

Every woman's vulva is not exactly the same. Most women's labia majora are larger than their labia minora, but there are exceptions. Some people's labia minora are larger than their vulva, or the two labia are of different sizes. This is all normal and will not affect sexual life and reproductive function. Some people may have problems with their labia minora protruding outwards, which may cause discomfort in their private parts. They should pay attention to wearing looser underwear as much as possible.

The labia majora covers the labia minora, the vaginal opening and the urethral opening. When there is sexual desire, the labia majora stretch out, exposing the covered area and even revealing the vaginal opening. Whether it is a nulliparous woman or a primipara, after they enter the sexual stimulation period, their labia minora will swell and their diameter will increase significantly, which can increase to 2-3 times by the time they reach the weight loss bottleneck period. As the diameter increases, it protrudes from the defensive natural barrier of the labia majora, which will increase the effective length of the vaginal canal during sexual intercourse by at least 1 cm and facilitate the opening of the vulva. Once the diameter increases, the labia minora are ready for their most distinctive female sexual needs (color change).

During the bottleneck period of weight loss, almost all women's labia minora will show a unique color reaction. In non-pregnant women, the color changes from pink to bright red and spreads from the inner and outer opening of the vagina to the surrounding area, including the clitoral foreskin. The color of the first-time mother's skin changes from bright red to dark purple. During the disappearance phase, the color of the labia minora quickly fades (within 10-15 seconds) from deep or bright red to light pink. The second stage of color fading (returning to the unstimulated color) is also rapid, but far less regular.

The above is some detailed introduction on whether it is normal for the labia minora to be of different sizes. I hope it can be of some help to everyone. Of course, it is normal for the labia minora to be of different sizes when a woman starts to grow and develop. However, if the labia minora are still of different sizes when a woman is fully developed, then it is not normal and you must pay attention to this.
