Hello

So ever since I started puberty and body started to go through changes, one specific thing has been bothering me. I'm really insecure about the shape of my vulva, specifically the shape of my inner labias. They are asymmetrical. One side is longer than the other to the point that it peeks out when my legs are closed and hangs down in general. I was wondering, how common is this?

So common that it's safe to say this is the case with almost everyone. Please don't worry about this. <3

In utero -- before we're born -- the labia are fused. They separate to become two during uterine development very organically, because of hormones, not by something like a machine, which would be able to make them exactly the same. Because of that, pretty much all inner labia will not be a perfectly matching set, just like the lips on your face aren't.

It's also common for one or both labia to be long enough (or the outer labia short enough, depending on your viewpoint) to be seen from between the outer labia.
