How to feel about a large vagina
Posted: Wed Apr 30, 2025 3:05 pm
I have been told i have a large vagina and a labia that hangs down alot. That it's even visible when wearing a bathing suit. Is this normal
Hey there, Jennifer.
So, the vagina is a muscular canal that is inside the body, and it is collapsed upon itself when nothing is inside of it, so the vagina doesn't really have a lot of variation in "resting" size. I'm going to assume you are talking about your vulva: the external parts of your genitals?
It's normal for labia, especially inner labia, to hang: that's kind of what they do. Later in life, after menopause, they gradually shrink, so I think it's almost like they come with a little extra sometimes to make sure there's enough for later. It's also a normal and common variation to be able to see things like the mons or outer labia through a bathing suit. It sounds liek you just have a normal vulva.
What sounds not so great here is whoever is talking about your genitals in ways that are making you feel insecure. That's what stinks here. Can you say a little more about this? Who is saying this stuff to you, and why?
