Your labia are with you all day every day, you probably don’t know them all that well. And that’s just a pity—you guys should be besties! Your lovely lady lips—the folds of skin on either side of your v**ina—are an important part of your body. After all, they protect the crown jewel of arousal: your cli**ris. Here are 5 things you should know about your labia.
1. The Labia Guard Your Goods
The labia are part of the external female private partia. And there are two parts to them: the labia majora (the outer labia) and the labia minora (the inner labia, which is inside the labia majora). The differences? The labia majora is bigger, fattier, is on the outer portion, and has hair. Their main function is the same, though: protect the cli**ris and opening of the v**ina and urethra—where you pee from.
2. Every Woman’s Labia Look Different
Consider your down-there lips uniquely yours. Color, size, length, and amount of hair can all vary greatly from woman to woman. The shape usually looks fairly similar—like two sets of lips (the minora are the inner lips; the majora the outer lips).
3. You Might Feel the Heat
Some women have sensitivity and arousal with touch of the labia minora during s*xual encounter. Doesn’t sound familiar? That’s totally normal—not everyone gets turned on from the touch (Your cli**ris is your main source of arousal and climax) That said, when you are turned on, your labia will become engorged with blood and might look a little bit bigger.
4. Shrinkage Is Normal
As you get older, it’s totally normal to notice some subtle changes down there. The major one: Due to a decrease in the hormone estrogen, your labia shrink after menopause. Don’t be shocked if things look a little slimmer in your 20s, too. As you exit puberty and begin to age, subcutaneous fat—the kind just beneath the skin—decreases (yep, even in your lady parts).
5. You Can Have Surgery Down There
While most of the time your labia won’t present any problems, if you have particularly large labia that become bothersome—they get caught in your clothes or interfere with your day-to-day activities—there is a procedure called labiaplasty. The surgery is done by a gynecologist or plastic surgeon and makes the labia smaller, and thus more comfortable.
