I've always worried about the size of my labia since I became sexually active thanks to a thoughtless offhand comment from my first boyfriend. I doubt he even remembers, but I always think of it when I start a new relationship. It's just part of the general nervousness you feel about getting naked with anyone and you WILL get over it (or just not have sex forever which is not realistic!). Despite having inner lips which are quite dark and hang low, I've had a great sex life with various long-term partners over for over 15 years now. Yes, you will be anxious about how you look, but I guarantee that when you are carried away in the moment, the last thing either of you will be thinking about is how your labia look! I now realise it was my first boyfriend's lack of experience that made him mention it at all :-)”

Hi, Girls don't worry about worrying about them hangy bit here and there, i can assure you there nothing wrong with you.
Any way if a boy loves you that much then i'm sure they arent going to worry about your low hanging bits and bobs.Just get on with your life live it well and have safe sex x”

ive just realised, porn determines why us girls worry so much about the way our vagina looks. Boys watch porn; which makes them think 'oh this is what a girls vagina SHOULD look like' girls watch porn and think 'oh this is what my vagina SHOULD look like' and then boys talk.. sayin how they think its disgusting if its not like that and girls secretly suffer wondering why theyre the only one with this problem, or thinking that they are. but if in porn the girls in it had longer lips.. we would be having this discussion about why are lips arent long enough, why theyre to small. Dont get me wrong, but because off all this ^^^ im one of those girls who secretly worries about what it looks like down there as i myself have long lips. i hate them to be truthful but i cant change it unless i have surgery which im not prepared to do. why cant all boys just accept all us girls the way we are. not all men/boys do, most dont. yet again, if i was with someone i loved, deeply cared about i couldnt care less tbh if they had a small penis or something. i loved them before i knew so why wouldnt i then? i just want everyone to realise. were ALL DIFFERENT and lets all accept it, even if u'd prefer it differently. btw, im 14 :)x”

Some people are worried about the size or shape of their vaginal lips, I used to feel exactly the same. I hated mine as one hangs lower than the other and they are dark. When I began experimenting with guys I noticed that they didnt seem to care. When I met my boyfriend who had more sexual experience, he said all his sexual parters had the same thing so I felt totally normal that I wasnt the only person with lips that hang down...”

Posted by lee on 10th May at 12:06AM (flag as inappropriate)
Wow, this is unbelievable! Girls we are all meant to be different, shapes, sizes, colours, smells and tastes. There is no such thing as normal.
The reason porn is supposed to be watched by adults is because of the negative affect it can have on developing minds and self esteem. Most porn stars have had excessive surgery on all body parts, especially their breasts and vagina's. They shave, pluck, preen for hours they are also airbrushed to look the way they do, that is abnormal!
Why would any woman/girl want to disfigure themselves purely to make men happy?! What happened to equal rights and opportunities for women? I don't want to hear that we have surgery for ourselves (unless it is to correct severe disfigurement) The only reason anyone wants a boob job or to have surgery to reduce lip size is to please men/society and the media because for some weird reason they have said (for now) that a certain look is sexy! I wonder (for example)how long being hairless will be popular? If you look at porn mags from 70's/80's and early 90's 'hair' was deemed to be sexy!
I am not saying that pleasing a man in wrong, that is a natural desire but think about how you go about doing so. Confidence is far sexier than a female stressing about how hairy, big/small her boobs or labia is. As I said earlier all sizes are normal, confidence and self assurance is what makes someone sexy not to size of your nipples/breasts or the shape of your labia. To build confidence - work out, do something you love regularly, exercise your brain, think positively about yourself e.g. I am beautiful both inside and out, eat well and spend time with positive, supportive people. Also stop reading magazines and watching TV, both are destructive energy sappers or at least be very selective with what media you choose to watch e.g. I feel this is one programme that may have had a positive effect on people's confidence.
Anyway lecture over! lol x Life is for living not stressing and no matter how large you labia, men will love you and if they don't they're the one's missing out - believe me! ;-) x ”

Im a bit worried about my vagina. (labio minora) . ive asked my friends and they dont seem to have the same. And my boyfriend pointed it out, :( (nearly hurt my feelings btw) so, just wondering is this normal ?”
Posted by Nicole on 9th May at 2:29PM (flag as inappropriate)
everyone is their own worst critic- of course you're normal! you're made how you're made and you wouldn't be if you werent meant to be. dont worry about it- put yourself in the other position would you care wot ur sexual parner looked like down below? of course you woulnd't becos u care about them and it shouldn't even occur or be a problem. i wud urge anyone considering going through with surgery not to. wot is the point of going through all that pain and debt for something so insignifant, that only few people see, which should be people that care about you? also, who cares if people make any nasty comments-that's their problem. people usually make horrible comments to others becos of their own insecurities. life is far too short to be worried about things that are natural and can't be changed :)”

hi. To answer some of the peoples problems on the labia being to big. im 16 and had one labia bigger than the other that hung down past my outer lips. I went to the hospital and after a few months they agreed to give me surgery... The surgery was painful and i could not walk for 2 weeks and was extremely painful to sit down or shower in that area.Its been a month and a half since i had surgery and the labia is already growing back to the size it was, so there is not guarantee that surgery will fix it as in most cases it will grow back. I too am worried about boys seeing me down there and being disgusted but honestly i think if you found someone you love and trust it will not matter. Hope that helps at least one person!x”

Many people have asked about discharge, well i know its normal, but i have discharge quite alot and sometimes i feel realy wet. It's mainly a creamy colour and usualy doesn't smell, but just as im due my period it has a faint BO smell. I thought i could be from not washing porperly but i always make sure im clean. Its quite embarassing, and im always worried about it at school, i haven't had sex but have had sexual contact (been fingerd and that sort of stuff). Please help me i just want to know if there is anything wrong or anything i can do about it? Thankyou xo”

This is a reply back to most of the girls on this website: our vaginas come in all different shapes and sizes and i really don't think anyone should be worried at all! I had the exact same problem with my inner lips and how they hang down quite alot, but after being on here and reading lots of the other girls comments i feel 'normal' =] also! never ever be pressured into having sex, my boyfriend asked me if i was ready to be sexually active with him and i told him i wasn't ready and he was perfectlly fine with it, if your partner loves you he will understand and be considerate =] Enjoy being yourself! xxxx”

:o Girls!! jeeeez everyone gets so worried about how they look. I do too! we all do because funnily enough were all different. If we were all the same it would be pretty boring huh? Ive read through the posts and alot of you have mentioned having large labia. Well so do i, and you know what? its normal. Im 16 and i used to be so worried about them and scared that boys wouldnt find it attractive. but lets face it vaginas arent exactly the most pretty of things anyway are they? I still get worried sometimes when i have a new sexual partner but nobody has ever said anything or even seemed to notice. So obviously EVERYONE gets self concious sometimes but thats just normal. nothing to worry about :)
Also a few of you have mentioned discharge.. seriousssssly if you didnt get it i would be pretty worried. its your bodys own way of cleaning itself. and you can get either a very small amount or alot and it all depends on what time of the month it is for you to what colour it is. as long as its not lumpy or something then its fine.
AND you guys have mentioned boobs.. my boobs are a 34c thats pretty average i think, but i have tiny tiny tiny nipples. haha. but i dont worry about it or care about it because nobody has the same boobs do they?
I think we all should calmmm down about being so self concious, love your body for what it is, i can garuntee you half the boys that you have sexual interaction with will have the same amount of anxiety about his own body. just enjoy yourself!”

Girls you all need to stop worrying, especially to everyone who hasnt reached adulthood i.e 18 because your still growing. Im nearly 22 and still notice my body changing but every woman is different. We all have different faces, hair colour, body shapes so of course we are going to be all shapes and sizes down there as well as our breasts. I lost my virginity at 15, to my boyfriend of the same age, we had been together about 6 months and we loved each other loads and that really makes a difference. When you love someone you dont look at them and want to critisize, you just accept them for who they are. And its normal for girls to be tight down below and have trouble getting a penis in because you have to practise just like anything else, life doesnt happen first time. A natural way to get rid of thrush is to use Live Yogurt, yes normal yogurt you buy in the super market but it has to be Live, meaning there are live cultures that chomp away the bad bacteria, and best of all you dont have to have the embarrassement of asking for thrush cream. Try putting some on a tampon and inserting it for a few hours each day, it worked for me :)”

I wasn't uncomfortable with the way my vagina looked until I actually watched the female anatomy video. One of my inner lips is much bigger than the other and seeing that the 'normal' is supposed to be that both are roughly the same size has worried me. I havn't had sex yet and am worried what any guys might think of this...am i abnormal?”

For Claire, you were worried about you're areolas because they say "they are fairly small and light before pregnancy and get larger and darker during pregnancy", while this is true, it doesn't mean to say that everyone's are small to start with, mine are quite large too and when i got pregnant got darker and slightly larger too. Don't worry about them being large and about this meaning you're pregnant, if your's have always been large then that's just normal for you. Everybody's areola's vary in size from person to person, just like you're breasts do.”

This is for Kirsty aged 14. Don't worry about masterbating too much now, it's not going to badly affect you in the future. Around you're age I was the same and seemed to do it all the time, it's normal. You're only learning about you're own body and what feels good for you. This can help you in the future when you're old enough to be in a sexual relationship, at least you'll know what feels good and right for you and you can share that with you're partner. For now, don't worry about it, it's totally normal and boys will be going through the exact same thing too.”

Hi I'm 25 years old & have gone through the same feelings as most of u girls regarding the way my body especially my vagina looks- however I now have a baby & to be totally honest with u no matter what it looks like now once u have children it will most certainly change again & I don't think surgery is the answer. I have had 3 partners since I was 18 & not one has had a complaint that my lips were too big or pubic hair was not right. Even though I felt self conscious & now my boyfriend loves every part of me the way it is. I have inverted nipples too which I've never ever told anyone & used to keep my top & bra on when I slept with my first 2 boyfriends cos I was embarrassed however eventually I met my current partner & I did the same until one day he said to me I love u no matter what u look like & I felt soo comfortable with him that I could be myself & he loves me for me, imperfections & all. We still have good sex & I am happy with my own body......I believe when you feel confident in your own skin you will know the right person you can trust to share your body with. As for shaving I shave it is a pain as I am generally a really hairy person, legs back, tummy, bikini line, pubes & even bum & also face! It is awful but I can't really change that so do shave every few days altho I try to leave it at least a week cos it can get sore the more regular u do it, I have waxed too but it takes too long for the hair to grow before u can get waxed so shaving is what most people do, try to exfoliate regularly & use tea tree oli cream or anything naturally unperfumed to minimise rashes & in grown hairs. Hope this helps abit cos I'm no way an expert but I know life is definitely too short & if a boy/man loves u he will accept u the way u are. My boyfriend has to put up with stubbly legs & bikini area most of the time & he doesn't mind as well as a hairy chin & upper lip- it's hard being a woman!! (If u still feel uncomfortable or worried please see a doctor as it could be anything maybe even something u were born with like my hairy problem, its called polycestic ovaries & I was prescribed a cream to use...so doctors can help & they see everything ur worried about regularly just look how many people are suffering with the same things & worse like me! So its not uncommon plus women have babies everyday so doctors see vaginas all the time).x”

I've been reading a few of the comments posted on here.
I'm a guy. and I don't find the lips or clitoris a problem.
It's kinda like how do you feel about a guys plumbing?. It's what you have been given. Take advantage of what you have. I wouldn't complain and any of theese comments. If you have a look on the male anatomy section you'll find guys are just as insecure about how 'it' looks as girls are.”

Posted by Janet on 8th Apr at 10:01PM (flag as inappropriate)
Hi, im 22 and i had surgery on my inner vagina lips because i was so uncomfortable with the way i look and i also had alot of irritation when they rubbed on my knickers. Il be completely honest, the op was straightforward and healing took about 6 weeks. I am now much more confdent sexually. However.. inow have a very supportive partner who i know would have not found me unattractive "pre surgery". In a way i wish i would have just found the confidence to be like "this is me" and not to have let it bother me as much. Although it is nice tonot have the irritation as my lips were very sensitive and sometimes i would have to tuck them in to my pants. Whatever you decide, make sure you do it for yourself and not because your worried what someone else will think of you.”

This is a reply back to Charly. I used to worry about the same thing, but if you try a lot of foreplay and some lube, then you'll probably see the difference. Also, try not to worry too much about your first time, cause worrying won't help at all.
Unfortunately, it does hurt for some people but if it does, then it can only get better :)”

jayne"is it normal to discharge everyday?”
Hey Jayne
Just a quick reply to your question. It IS normal to discharge everyday and the consistncy (how thick it is) and colour will vary depending on your menstrual cycle. You may notice that your dischage is thick and white at the beginning of the cycle turning clear and stringy towards the middle. This is all due to the hormonal balance of your body and to attempt to aid conception.
If your discharge becomes itchy and "cottage cheese" like though, go and see your doctor coz this is something called thrush. She willl give you a cream to use which will clear it up in no time. Hope this helps.”

I think that there is much negative pressure from the media to entice people to have sex for the wrong reasons. There is a distorted concept of glamourising and focusing just on the physical pleasures and actions and ignoring important issues such mutual respect and emotional development. This can be a disasterous role model for young people as they do not understand the implication of their decisions and actions. Thus this means that they are not prepared to take responsibility for their actions. This can not only destroy not just their lives and their partners but the families involved. If I think that sex education should raise any important lesson is that if people are going to have sex is because they choose to and ready to do so, not because they feel obligated to do so. My decision of maintaining my virginity is only strengthen by the increasing rise of stds and underaged or unwanted pregnancies around. When I do decide to have sex is because I am ready and that both my partner and me respect each other, and that we want to deepen our relationship. I am not going to have sex because I feel obligated or trying to be like the next Tom,Dick or Harry”

I just wanted to say that I'm 26 and like many of the girls who posted here, I've hated the way my vagina looks for all my life. The lips and clitoris are much too large and seem to hang much too low. But as worried as I've been, not one guy has ever thought it was a big deal or even seemed to notice anything different. I would tell these girls not to worry so much and try to learn to like their natural selves because most guys know that we come in all shapes and sizes and will be happy just to be with you no matter how it looks down there.”

I have been here quite a while, browsing the comments left and his cleared up a few insecurities about the shape of my labia etc, but im still quite worried about the extent of my pubic hair. I have shaved in the past and resolved that this was a bad idea, so now from time to time i use a delicate hair removal cream instead. I know that most boys dont mind abouta small amount of pubic hair, which is neat etc, but im quite worried about the hair elsewhere (not just in the pubic area) I am quite dark haired and so have it finely on my back and around my belly buttin, which i can deal with, but i have pubic hair around near my bum and i have no idea how to get rid of it (wether it is too delicate an area). I think this would be a REAL turnoff when i do have sex (im not quite ready just yet). I would really appreciate some help..anyone???”

this is the problem with porn - it makes young girls and women feel insecure about their bodies when they have no reason to be. the important thing to remember is that what we see in pornography and in men's magazines is NOT the norm, the norm is to come in many shapes, sizes and colours. diversity, its what makes us US right? if we did not have these articificial and unrealistic (and essentially surgey-created) looks shown in porn to compare ourselves to, we would not think that there was anything wrong our bodies! men should be taught that what they see as "normal" in porn is not what REAL women look like. if your sexual partner is critical of the way you look, the way your breasts or genitals or anything looks then maybe you should not be with that person? a partner should not make us feel like we are not good enough or that we are "strange" or "abnormal", they should make us feel confident and beautiful! we should feel that about ourselves anyway! it saddens me that so many girls, and guys for that matter, are losing confidence and being hurt emotionally in such ways due to sex, and due to the pressures of porn. hopefully soon girls will stop looking at porn for examples of what we "should" look like, and accept their own bodies for what they are - normal and beautiful and natural, and if a partner cannot see that aswell, then you don't need or want them! i have had men pull me down, make me lose all my self-confidence, make me feel like i don't live up to the women in magazines, over and over again. and it's taken quite a lot of time and quite a lot of tears to realise that i should not feel like i have to live up to ANYTHING, and the guy who finally makes me feel like i am already perfect will be the one who is worth my time. i hope other girls start to see this too... x”

Im 19 and have had a 6 year relationship, but have also had other sexual parteners whilst we were on a break, and to all the girls who are wanting sex i would definatly say to wait untill the right person comes along dont just have a one night stand to loose your virginity, And to be quite honest one night stands aint that great! its much better being with a person you r comfortable with and love. But the Question i have is i have 34FF breasts but my nipples r kind of inverted..No boys have ever really noticed or commented on them but should i see a doctor do you think? because my breasts are big for my age and my nipples jus kind of put me of them lol. x”

i have been watching this programme, and i find it very interesting, im at the age of 17 now.and whilst reading these comments im suprised to how many young girls feel there ready for sex, how ever im not judging wheter i feel its right ! but young girls should be worried about friends and living there lifes, not boys and sex. however as im 17, im still a virgin! i feel that im not pressured to have sex, many of my firends have, but instesad of feeling jealous i feel glad that ive waited. i may not wait until im married, but i am waiting for that special person! and i feel that every girl should wait until there ready, because once your virginity has been taken , you can never take it back. so please girls respect your body and love yourselfs! dont feel pressured..=)
hope this helps , and remember boys come and go ! so dont feel like a boy will love you more if you hav sex, theyll love you regardless, even if you dont.- there keepers! .. ”

Hia... Reading all the comments below has made me realise how much young girls are not educated about sex and things that happen to their bodies as they grow up! All the things ive read are all normal and will work out, it just takes time as most of you are still growing up! So dont worry :) ... About losing your virginity ... Wait for the right person and untill you know that he is the one for you, dont let anybody force you into anything! People will respect you far more if you make your own mature decisions! ... I Lost my virginity when i was 13 and at the time i thought i was doing the right thing .. looking back, it seems like a big mistake and ive now found the person that i want to be with forever and now i just wish that id kept my viginity for him! Dont make the same mistake :) X”

Hi, I'm a guy, and I just wanted to tell all you girls who are fretting about what your labia/clitoris looks like - boys don't care. Even assuming any guy you have sex with even knows what a vagina looks like:
a) he won't notice any variation in size at all as we're just not tuned into that
b) it's nowhere near as different to "normal" (whatever that means) as you think it is
c) he'll be too concerned about what you think of him to notice, and concentrating on actually having sex!
The same goes for breasts and nipples.
So don't worry!”

I was always a bit paranoid that my outer labia was too big and was embarrassed for it to be seen by boyfriends. But the last few guys Iv been with have admitted that in the past with other girls they never liked giving oral sex but with me they really enjoyed it, dont know why but Im not complaining. Now im perfectly fine with them, everyone is different, so girls please dont consider sugery down there if its not entirely necessary, dont imagine it would be worth the pain!”

I'm 21 and just read some of the comments and felt I should write a post. I think this is a great programme as I have realised that vaginas vary so much. I wish it had come out years ago when I was worrying about my own body!
I have always been conscious of my 'saggy' vagina and was so worried about having sex the first time, thinking that it was unsightly. I always wanted to have surgery. My bf is amazing and tbh I dont think he could care less what it looked like! He doesn't see a problem with it AT ALL! So I don't mention my worries-what's the point if he doesn't see anything wrong with it? In reality, there prob isn't anything 'abnormal' anyway! I think that we should all worry less, remember that everyone's is slightly different and in reality boys don't notice much anyway, we just make issues out of nothing!
I have stopped caring what it looks like! They're naturally ugly things anyway! The more you think about something, the bigger issue it becomes.
Don't have sex with someone you don't trust in the first place and then you won't have to worry!

The episode discussing womens breasts doesnt ring true for me. They said if your taller and curvier you have bigger boobs, if you are skinnier and smaller you have smaller. I am a size 6-8 and have large breasts. Often they are mistaken for fake (my current boyfriend thought they were fake until we first had sex and he found out they werent!) Just goes to show everyone comes in different sizes!”

GIRLS! everyone seems to have the same problem of "saggy" or "long" skin at the vulva... doesn't this show that we area all in the same boat?? If boys judge you on that then they are stupid! Plus they are probably more worried about their penis than what we look like "down there"! have you ever really thought about penis's in as much detail as the way you look down there?? I bet you're thinking no, and boys are the same! DOn't worry and do NOT consider surgery - puttting yourself through taht much paint just for shorter skin at the vulva is ridiculous! Its okay! We're all the same - apart from porn stars & isn't that really what this whole program is about?? DO NOT STRESS”

My inner vaginal lips are really really big, like hugely big. I hate them and i feel so ashamed and embarrased. I have just recently starting seeing a guy but when it comes to having sexual contact i just cant go through with it as i'm so scared he will be so freeked out about the way my vagina looks or feels. When i wear bakini bottoms or knickers you can see how far they hang down and its so embarrasing. I am a really unconfident person to start off with so its hard trying to get the courage to tell someone about my insecurity of this problem. I have 2 sisters and theres looks nothing at all like mine, infact theres is really tight looking which makes me feel much worse and unconfident as i feel like i am abnormal and different to everyone else. I have felt so depressed with the way my vagina looks, and i just cant bring myself to have a sexual experiance because of it, i cant live my life being like this, i need to do something about it, i'm 16 soon, would it be possible to go see my GP or would mum have to be there? Or is there somethign else i can do? Please help me find a way of getting them to shrink! x”

Every girl seems to have the same problem. Vagina lips being to large, it's really quite normal and boys don't mind it at all. Myself and at least one of my friends look a bit dangly down below and have a little bulge. Be happy with your body, it's beautiful.
Also, discharge.
As long as it's not amazingly lumpy or a dark yellow colour, your fine. Your vagina is just cleaning itself.
I'm sixteen and worried about this stuff all the time. I now have a wonderful boyfriend who accepts everything about me and any other decent boy should do the same.”

Girls, vaginas.. They come in all different sizes, shapes and colours. I think we should all stop worrying, you should only have sex with someone if you love them and if they love you they should respect every bit of you and your body. If you love this person, you will feel comfortable in front of them, and maybe talk to them about how you feel and that you are embarresed! To be honest, they might have the same problem (obviously not with a vagina but thier penis lol) but they might feel tha they are not normal! You will never kno until you ask X”

Girls, PLEASE do not worry if your labia minora are larger and hang down.
This is EXTREMELY common! I used to be very worried and self-conscious about it, but after having a few sexual partners, I promise you that men don't care what you look like down there, in fact they love all shapes and sizes.
Just find a guy that you are comfortable with and you will realise it's nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about :). Love yourselves!”

Please don't worry about what your vagina looks like. Everyone's are different sizes and not all gils look like the ones in porn films. I used to think mine looked weird too but the guys I have been with have never ever said anything about it. And I know my boyfriend doesn't have any complaints! Most guys are just grateful that you're letting them touch you! Really don't worry about it or you won't be able to fully relax and enjoy yourself. Everyone gets paranoid from time to time, but don't worry about it!”

I'm 21 years old and i've been shaving everything off down there since I was 14. A couple of years ago I decided to try a Hollywood wax (everything off front to back) and I love it; no ingrown hairs and it feels great.
If you dont like having hair down there then remove it... its up to you! I recently had a chat with my girlfriends about it and it turns out most of them shave/wax their pubes off too!”

REPLY TO 13YR AIMEE...Im now 29 and i started my period at the age of 12, for the 1st few years i had severe periods,very bad stomach craps, back/leg/belly ache, feeling sick, mood swings, bleeding very very heavy for 2 weeks sometimes, my mum told me to go docs and ask then to put me on the pill to regulate my periods, but i didnt get on with the pill, so i took myself off it, and put up with the pain! hot water bottles, painkillers, eatin/drinkin properly, hot baths, keeping myself warm, being massaged helped a great deal! now im older my periods are no longer as severe and only last about 4 days! i thought i was the only one when i was younger suffering but your not we all go thro it hun-its the joys of bein a women!! xx”

hi im 18 and since i was about 13 my breasts have been uneven my left breast is a size D cup and my right is a size A cup i was so ashamed of myself and i thought that there was something wrong with me i didnt want to talk to anyone because i lived with my dad and i was embarrassed i didnt even want to get a boyfriend because i thought that they would say something to me but as i got older i realised that i was normal so i waited untill i was almost 18 and i finally went to the doctors i went to see a female doctor and she was so nice and made me feel comfortable i am currently going thourgh the procedures with the nhs to get my right breast enlarged to match my left i hope this helps other girls out there as i know how i felt and want the other girls not to be afaird to talk to anyone your normal also i would realy like for there to be more information for young girls going thourgh the same thing all i remember getting told at school is that some girls have uneven breasts as there going thourgh puberty but they always even their selfs out but oviously this isnt the case so there should be more information avaible so that if you are worried you no that you are normal and that their are things you can do to make you feel more comfortable about your body”

All the girls that think they have abnormal vaginas you shoudnt let it stop yu from having sex and make yu feel so self concious. There are so many boys that are worried about their penis sizes and what they look like aswell. If yu feel comfortable enough with a boy and yur ready for sex yu shudnt let bodyhang ups stop yu..x”

i am 28yrs old and i havnt been happy with my inner labia for over ten years.i would consider surgery because i feel very concious of it and im really not happy with the appearance or the size.i feel they are to big and can be seen when i stand up.i looked in to surgery and found out it was 3-4 grand which is alot of money,so for the time being i have left it,but it would make me feel alot more confident naked if i did have it done.”

Hey girls
I am 28 years old and for many many years I thought that my labia minora were really really ugly and abnormal, as they were different sizes, and they hung below out of my body. I hated it, and really thought that I was a complete freak. It has taken me quite a while to realise that woman (and their vaginas) come in ALL shapes and sizes (and colours!!) I have looked at pictures in porn, looked at surgery websites and its actually a fact that only ONE in twenty womens' labia minora do NOT hang out (ie are completely tucked in). So its completely normal for womans bits to hang out. You see it in porn, and its natural and a fact!! I felt exactly the same for years and years, and I recently told my boyfriend who I love to bits how I felt about my lips. He could NOT understand why I had been so upset. He said he had seen ALL shapes and sizes, and that there was nothing abnormal about lips that hang out, and are different sizes. He actually told me I had pretty much the same vagina as his ex, which made me laugh but actually helped me to think that I worried unnecessarily.
Gir ls, please try not to worry, vaginas are meant to have big lips, small lips, wonky lips, pink lips, purple lips, and we are all unique. xxxxxxx”

I'm 19 yrs old and have spent many many yrs of worrying about how everything looks 'downstairs' but in reality, the only thing that matters is how YOU want to look (if you want to shave, not shave, complete wax etc) if a man can't accept that you are happy to look a certain way then the bloke isn't worth it.
I'm really disturbed to see so many 14/15 yr old girls worrying about how they look or pressured into having sex - enjoy these yrs now and don't live according to other ppl and don't give in to peer pressure because you'll end up feeling bad about yourself and regret it.
Plz wait for someone special for your first time, someone you love and respect and vice versa, it'll be so much better if you do wait (even if you end up a virgin longer than your friends - it doesn't matter!) and whats more important - you'll feel good about yourself and your actions.
Be sensible, girls!

Ever since I was younger, I've had enlarged inner lips. For any girls who were worrying about any part of their area being "enlarged" and how boys will react, I have a great boyfriend who i'm sexually active with and he's so supportive. I have literally, size A boobs, an enlarged inner lips and i haven't even reached 5 foot in height so everything is small, so of course I worried about "it" not fitting, but guess what, my boyfriend is fine with it and with enough foreplay, I can have sex fine.”

i really hope that this show goes into depth on the NORMAL female genitalia, because of the growing access to porn young women are constantly feeling sexually judged...an as we most probably already know some guys are very influenced how a womans body "should" be by watching porn... i am 16 i have been in a sexual relationship for 2 n a half years with the same person never anyone else and i will be honest.... (but i would have waited if i could turn back the clock) an i have wound myself up over my labia and even looked into surgery, because they hang down i feel uncomfortable in swimwear, certain underwear rubs, when really i was making it more of a deal than it really was. but i sat down at thought this is me im normal, ill buy underwear wat dont rub, an i found a little self confidence is 100 times sexier, and the majority of men who will respect you will not notice one bit (unless you sleep around, but then you are asking for it really) so for all these girls who have writen on here.... dont worry hold your head high, because life is too short too worry about wat other people think, have sex only when you are ready there is no race, we will leave the lads to that. like i said earlier i would not of had sex when i was 14 if i could go back. And thankyou channel 4 for all the educational aspects on health and to all your patients from embarresing bodies.... beauty is only skin deep....”

As a 18 year old male it scares me that the majority of the comments below are Women/Girls worried about what their boyfriend is going to think of your body. I feel this is a really bad situation to be in for a female. As a male with a girlfriend i genuinely think that if a male was to be so self-centred, pathetic and immature about what your body looks like, then maybe you should be thinking - Is he the right guy to be having sex with in the first place ? I personally like to think I see the bigger picture. Personality matters far more to me ! So there you go- There are guys out there like me who do not need cosmetic boobs and a ‘seemingly perfect’ vagina to please them. The female body is amazing and each and every one is different. You are what you are! Your partners should accept it or leave it ! ”

Hope this helps with some of the questions:
When you get aroused, the vagina tends to 'loosen', and it will be able to 'accommodate' a penis better. If there is a problem with size, reciprocal oral is a perfectly valid alternative.
Some girls just develop slower than others. Speaking from a personal view and the view of the majority of guys I know, big breasts aren't a big deal. Pubic hair is another thing many girls worry about. From what I know, most guys prefer it shaven or waxed, but many don't really mind. It does however make oral easier if there is little hair, so that could be taken into consideration. Most guys don't worry too much about the 'lips', but if you are worried it may be worth seeing a sexual health professional.
As a last note on sex: if you're ready, go for it, if you're not, don't. Most guys develop earlier and have a much higher sex drive, but most will feign understanding if you're not ready :)”

I am 20 and I have had 7 sexual partners. Not all of those relationships where respectful. Ladies, everyone is different, I know I am. The most important thing is to find someone who respects you and your body, before you share your body with them. I have discovered it can be hard to find a respectful partner if you do not understand, love and respect yourself. Pictures that are in magazines and pornography are unfair representation of the female (and male) body. Learn as much as you can about yourself, your body and the opposite sex's body, through fantastic websites like this one as well as self investigation, and you may feel more at ease when you find the right person to share your body with. When I was younger I did not do this and as a result I made some mistakes and put myself into unhappy situations. Now that I understand myself I am happy, confident, and able to voice my concerns. Please scroll down to see what Tabitha (number 13) has to say, I thought it was very positive and interesting.”

If it is so abnormal to have labia minora that hang down below the other lips, y are so many people writing in with this 'percieved' problem? DO NOT be influenced by the way women look on pornography or by the men who are so inexperienced than they think womens vaginas should look like porn stars! Its their problem, not yours. Find someone who loves the way you look down there. Trust me, I have lips that hang down below, and I'm very happy with the way my individual and unique vagina looks, and not one single boyfriend has ever complained either.

First off, I've read quite a lot of the comments on this page and want to reiterate what a lot of people have said, that you should no way feel pressured into doing anything. I'm 19, and although I know all of my mates have had sex, I don't feel like I need to 'catch up' with them.
I have never gone further than kissing & a bit of upper body fondling, either because I didn't feel comfortable going any further, or because I was worried about pubic hair. My mates have always been pretty open and frank about almost everything, but pubic hair always seems to be something that doesn't get talked about, and it's difficult to find a suitable point in a conversation where you can ask "so what do you do about hair down there?"
I do a lot of exercise but always find excuses not to stay for a drink after a session because I don't feel comfortable with communal showers [even though they're all female] because I just don't know what's ok and what's not. I tried shaving, which wasn't that successful and was pretty itchy, and I tried hair removing creams, but they didn't take off all the hair and left it quite stubbly. I want to feel that when I meet the right guy I'll be happy to get my kit off, but I don't want him to be disgusted by my hair. Should I DIY or go to a proper beauty salon? My DIY attempts have always grown back a bit strange.”

Listen, any girls on here worried about whether boys will be put off by how your vagina looks, DON'T BE. Being honest there is no 'perfect' vagina and the majority of men have no idea what they are supposed to look like anyway (especially 17 and below) so stop worrying. None of you are the first in this position and you won't be the last. Don't worry about a thing”

hiya, am 18 and iam a little worried i have sort of little white spots but i dont think they are spots down below and they look like there under the skin what may it be and should i be worried??”

I'm really saddened to read so many girls fearing that their vulvas look unattractive, that the lips of their vagina are too big.
Please listen to me girls: I'm a man, and I PREFER a woman with large labia. Seriously; and for a similar reason, I prefer women who only 'tidy up' their pubic hair. The 'tight' looking vaginal lips that you may think boys prefer actually looks to me (and many other men) like the vagina of a child - and pedophiles most men are NOT. Equally, women who've totally shaved off their pubic hair make their vulvas look like that of a child.
Normal men don't want their girlfriend or wife to have child-like genitals. It's for the same reason that men like full breasts on a woman - they indicate that she is full-grown, no longer a child!
Another thing to know is that boys get as nervous as girls when it comes to sex - more so in fact because while it's okay for a girl to be nervous and inexperienced, boys feel pressure to be dominant, confident, in-charge; and to be like that requires experience. So, they OFTEN lie, exaggerating their experience and pretending they aren't nervous. In fact, when a young man gets with you, he's probably DESPERATE not to look clumsy or foolish, and this means that the last thing on his mind is the way your vagina looks! He probably hasn't even seen many in real life, anyway! Also, he'll be very excited to be with you and he won't want to spoil his chances by making unpleasant comments about your body! He's more likely to say nothing, no matter what you look like, in his eagerness to get some experience, than say anything unpleasant.
You might care to know that in my life (I'm 41), I've never heard any of my friends talking about the sexual things they've done with their girlfriends and I certainly don't. So it's extremely unlikely, generally, for any man to pass judgement to others on the way your private parts look. Only the most crude and insensitive boy would ever do such a thing and you should know no to go with such boys in the first place. Also, don't believe everything your girlfriends may tell you boys have said because, as I've said, guys are prone to feeling a need to brag and lie in order to make themselves feel 'big', 'cool' or popular. They don't expect the girl he's trying to impress, or who might overhear him, to pass it on to others; yet I'm sure you know that girls can be very spiteful towards other girls in what the say.
Finally, in the U.K., it is ILLEGAL for anyone to have sex under the age of 16. So all you girls out there need to be aware that unless you are raped, it is YOU who determines whether you break the law by having sex at the young age at which so many of you here are having it. You want to remember that no matter how excited you may be feeling, sex can result in you becoming PREGNANT (even if you are using contraceptives). Are you ready for rearing a baby for at least the next 16 years? Do you realise that many men won’t want you if you’ve got another man’s child? Babies are best conceived not by accident, but on purpose, within marriage or at least a solid, stable relationship, when the money is there to provide for the child. Don’t think that an abortion is an easy option to take either. I’ve never heard of a woman who wasn’t deeply emotionally affected by having an abortion; and the procedure is not without danger to the woman’s health.
Also, don’t forget that sex can also cause serious diseases that could prevent you from ever having children. ”

Oh. My. God. I am a 25 year old "girl" and have never thought about "how I look down there"! Of course, you can get waxed or shaved - but how do you think red lumpy bits, ingrown hairs, rashes and infections will look to your sexual partner?? I don't want to scare, but men - boys - shouldn't dictate how your most intimate area should look and feel. If they want to have a sexual relationship based on the look of porn, then let then watch porn and don't let them near you! This is as important as the "size 0" debate - and it's SO important that you give your body time to develop - this is a feminist issue girls! For the record, we are all, everyONE, "abnormal" down there. And that's brilliant if you ask me!”

I also am worried that my brests have stopped growing I have been an A cup for about 4-5 years and I really want bigger brests I feel ashamed of my tiny boobs and feel that surgery might be the way to go if I don't get any bigger I feel that I am preassured by society and even looking at my class mates I just want to be the same as them !!!? Also I started my periods when I was about 12 they were short lasting and very painful and did not follow a monthly cycle like normal but reacently they have lasted one to two days and the next one could be anytime for example my last period lasted two days with a space of three months inbetween should I be concerned ?

I'm currently going through the NHS and campigning to get my smaller breast enlarged to match my D cup.

It was only my outer lips that hung, but it makes me feel so gross. Im still a virgin and have never had male contact below, but do not want one to be grossed out when it finally happens. I know this sounds silly, but is there any special underwear or remedies, even medications i could take to help this issue? I'm down for anything at this point. Just as long as it doesnt involve the tightening surgery, cause i don't have the moneys.

Hey.. I cant believe that girls as young as 13 are wanting to have sex.. At 13 I was definitely not thinking about sex.. Just don't do it cos everyone else is or cos your being pressurised by a guy.. I lost my virginity to my boyfriend just after I turned 19 and it was sweet.. I don't know what sex is like with some random guy or someone u just like, but making love with someone u love, someone that loves u, is the most beautiful thing ever.. All am going to say is this: Wait for the right person.. Trust me you`ll be glad that u did.. xx ”

To all you wonderful women:
I'm 27 and have had 20 sexual partners, male and female. They have shown a wide variety of attitudes, respectful and not, gentle and rough. Many of the young men were convinced by porn and FHM etc that all girls should want sexual activity some, most or all of the time, rough sex, anal sex, bizarre toys and contraptions, threesomes and the like from an early age and without a committed relationship. This is, of course, total rubbish! We want sex when it is feels right and safe enough for us to share of ourselves, not because our mates are doing it or some boyfriend asks for it. If you don't want it yet, don't bother! My virginity was wasted on a virgin guy who was too scared to do his girlfriend and used me as a test run; he took advantage of teenage low self-esteem and the result was worthless and demeaning.
Experiences wonderful through to downright abusive have taught me the following: Your desire to do anything depends on your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual attraction to the other human being(s) you are with, and to have sex without respect, arousal or any sense of connection is a waste of life... And when you are respected, respecting, and attracted on all levels it is the most wonderful, humbling and connected experience one could hope to have with any living being.
Your body is a temple and your 'down below' does the same job as a flower. It should be respected and treated as one. It's yours and a precious part of your personality. Petals (lips) come in all shapes, colours and sizes, clits large and small, close to or far from the vagina. Hair fine, thin, thick, dark, light, on the bum, off the bum, in the cracks and all about. Everyone's tastes are different about grooming - I love beards and chest hair, my friend would wax her man from top to toe if she had the chance - so someone will agree with you no matter what you choose as long as you care about and respect yourself. Men know less about our bodies than we do so we should guide them - they may need reassuring about our body fluids so let them know what to expect before they encounter it ("I'm feeling so wet" "But why has she wet herself?" he thinks...) You should teach them to offer respect to the wonders of a healthy baby-making machine, and you as a whole woman. Some men don't even realise a woman should be wet down there, so get them told! Tell them the wetter it gets, the better lover they are and you'll both get your fun :o) For a vagina to have a constant whitish, mildly scented/tasting discharge is normal. Amounts, colour, smell and taste may change with your hormonal cycle, and only you can know what is normal for you. Strong smelling, itching, burning, obvious discolouration means ask a doctor. Whatever the problem, doctors have seen it all before and will respect your body because they know how it works. Taste your own before you expect anyone else to; it will help you know what is normal for you and you'll know what you're asking (that goes for guys too) Sexual arousal brings blood flow to your vulva swelling your lips and the area should be dripping wet with clearish slippy fluid from vagina outwards before you let anyone touch you there (foreplay helps, guys!) Anything that involves pain, causes non-menstrual bleeding or bruising or tears your pereneum (between your vagina and anus) is too rough and probably a result of not being turned on/wet enough and any person who assumes you are enjoying it or orders you to enjoy it is abusing you, so speak up! ( I've been left unable to walk properly before now by a guy who thought fingering should resemble punching someone repeatedly). Someone on here described a burning when you pee sensation; this could be cystitis (inflamed urethra) and is fairly common after rough sex, and can be treated by drinking cranberry juice. It could be friction burn from dry sex, or could also be latex allergy from using condoms, lube or rubber toys. Latex free condoms and silicone lube can solve this. Lube (spit or the bottled variety) is no replacement for having been turned on in the first place! It is normal for some or all sexual fluids to come out of you after sex. When you reach a really deep state of arousal the muscles deep inside you relax and the ones at the entrance to you vagina contact, making a sort of bottle shape to help keep some semen inside you. Regular sex with one person programs you psychologically to want to stay with them, whether they are the right person for you or not. It gives us women a hormonal rush designed to make us commit and raise babies in a stable environment, and it can be very easy to find this linked to the wrong person in the age of contraception. You may not be aware it has even been happening. If in any emotional doubt, put your sex life on pause, let you brain correct its chemistry and then decide. Men come in all shapes and sizes too, from the size of your thumb to 7 inches and up, thin, fat, wide at the bottom or the top, mushroom shaped, bending one way, twisted or with frills on, and all are beautiful in their own way. Respect them - you may find them wierd now - it is only when you love a man and accept his being you will find the true beauty in his penis. Choose the penis that feels right for you. Some people feel a little pain when their hymen breaks but regularly painful sex even when you're really turned on might just mean you are not the optimum shape for each other. Above all, communication is the key and if your partner is too immature to talk it through they're probably too immature to understand the consequences of their actions so don't deserve to have their way with you. Stand up for what's right for you, love yourself and others and be true. Peace out xx”

To Lauren: Your boyfriend doesn't really sound like someone you should be getting involved in. I'm only just 15 and my friend (who is actaully 14) had a boyfriend who was, again, younger than her (13) who was asking her for sex everytime she was with him alone. In the end she got rid of him because, at 14 I don't think you need the pressure of having sex. :)”

I had sex when I was 13 but at that time me and my ex boyfriend ALWAYS used a condom. However 3 years on me and my current boyfriend have been in a relationship for 1 year but we have never used a condom since I have been on the pill. My friends say that I could have a STI! But my boyfriend has never had a sexual girlfriend before me since I was his first time.
Should I have a STI check?”

GIRLS! I'm shocked by what I'm reading. Too many of you are thinking about sex far to young! Live your childhood or you'll regret it. Boys can wait and if they say they can't then they're not worth having. Be proud of your bodies and respect them. Sex is complicated and has emotion effects that it sounds like most of you are not ready for.
PLEASE think twice before making these decisions. I'm so worried after reading your comments. Love yourselves, and talk to parents and professionals for good honest advice. Don't give in to peer pressure.
I hope you all make the right decisions and overcome your worries. x”

I'm very worried about the current trend for having a labia reduction operation. I'm a mum to two teenage daughters and after watching your programme I'm worried that they will think they are not normal. This whole problem has come about, in my view, because of the fashion for shaving and waxing. Of course girls are going to notice protuding parts more when they are surrounded by bare skin. Adult women do have larger labia. It is completely NORMAL. In encouraging operations are we not supporting the mutilation of women that happens in less developed countries rather than trying to stop it? I think that you should be discouraging girls from waxing down below and encouraging them to think that they are far more beautiful staying as nature intended!”

this is to rechal
i have the same problem and it is normal ive heard of one of my mates that she had it and she went to her GP and they said that it was because she was too clean.
the only reason you have discharge is because it cleans your vigina thats all.
if you seriously need to get rid of the discharge go to your doctor to see what they can do to help get rid of it i am.
i know it is embarrousing but the quicker you go and get it seen to the quicker the problem will go away
dont worry im the same
hope this helps because your not the only one. :)”

if women, girls are worried about the way the vagina looks dont worry about what your partner thinks because if he loves you enough and the time is right to have sex or let him see your vagina it wont matter to him what shape or size or whatever it is you feels not right with it
dont worry :)”

Hi Laura,
I have had the exact same problems as you after being on the implant, my cervix seems closer and even a little lumpy.
I have had an extremely weak bladder and my periods are going crazy.
I'm really worried it is going to affect my fertility.
My doctor was not very forthcoming with information.
I am going to get my implant removed next week and hopefuly I will get some more information.
Have you had any further problems or information from your doctor? I am really worried that it is some sort of side effect.
I am not normally like this and never really go to the doctors, but it is really concerning me.
If anyone can give me any advice I'd be very appreciative.”

I had a labia reduction operation in June as I really hated the way my vagina looked. My labia were very large and dark in colour. I really regret the operation now as it didn't go according to plan. One side looks great but the stitches didn't hold on the other side so it now looks very odd. I would advise anyone NOT to have surgery, just look at the photos on the private parts section of this site. If I had seen these photos before my op I might not have had it. I would be very happy to be photographed for this website to show people what can go wrong.”

Emma, if you have not had sex the likelihood of you having cervical cancer is so low they don't even screen virgin girls..you have no need to worry, if you are going, there are virgin sized speculums to make it as comfortable as possible...
of course girls do get hair between their bums.
and as she said on the video, labia are all different, no need to worry, guys won't care anyway..if you are really worried your gp will be happy to see you..

Everyone is different so the way you look is going to be different to others but just because its different does not mean that you are not normal,
We only worry about things because people dont discuss what there vagina or penis looks like, so how do we no what is normal and not, i dont think it gets you anywhere worrying just because you dont love your body doesnt mean someone else wont, alot of young people worry about what they look like, you shouldnt need to worry about that until its your health at risk, So Dont worry!”

When in a relationship I worry about having a wash or shower before sex but this can sometimes steal the moment. Although I am in my fifties I still have not had the problem of "drying up" and I wonder if even a small smell is off putting to a man or should I insist of a quick wash and take the chance that that ruins the moment.”

This really has given me a confidence boost tbh. For about a year now i have been so self conscious about my vagina, like some of you others one bit is longer than the other and the end is slightly darker than the rest. I found it too hard to explain to my mum about it, therefore looked on this website. I loved the sex education show, it was really interesting. I've been seeing this guy for about 3 weeks now, i actually love him, he thinks I'm perfect in every way, it makes me feel so good about myself. But part of the reason i've been rejecting him when he's asked me out is because i know dating him would probably lead to other things....I feel like im ready, mentally to have sex...yeah i know im 15. My friends have done stuff and also had sex but i havn't done anything cause i hadn't felt ready, but now even though i do, i still feel so self conscious about my vagina. i dont know what to do...help?”

I Have read through all the posts and all the girls are saying the same, ''they dont like the look of there vagina'' but at 13/14/ you should be worry about this sort of stuff every one is different, If you was emotionally ready you wouldnt be worry about things, Just wait until the time is right and your with the right person and all them insercurities will go away ...... Trust Me :)

I had a smear test a couple of years ago while I was at uni. I didn't even know I was going to have one so was completely un prepared! Its fine though, some people say it hurts but it didn't hurt me at all. For mine, they used a plastic one which was quite thin and a lot of lube! It's like a tampon, just slides in, you don't have to be aroused! And its over in seconds!”

i am very worried about the difference between the size. One of my inner flaps is longer then the other one. This makes me feel very worried and iv delayed losing my virginity with my long term boyfriend because of this. I also want to know .. does it really hurt the first time ? and do you always bleed ? Helpp! x”

i am 15 years old and over this past year i have noticed something differnt about the area down there ( my labia are quiet big to me)
at first i was really worried because i thought it was not normal, but since that i have told my mum and been to the doctors and they said that they are normal. but to me they arnt and when i get changed or anything i feel really paranoid, this past few months i have got a boyfriend and he is 17 and at first i thought all he would want was sex, but he is differnt to that, but the past weeks we have started to do oral things and now we have moved onto sex, i feel much better about myself now i have watched that video, but before i did things with my boyfriend i felt really nervous because i had to explain to him that there was something differnt but he has now seen it and says there is nothing wrong with it. which makes me feel a bit more confident. the doctors said i could have the option of having an operation and i said i would like one because i feel like a freak!! they spoke to the surgens at the hospital and they sent us a letter saying its not very urgent and you are very young to which they are not that visible. i was a little angry because i wanted to get it sorted, but now i have found this boy i feel more complete and able to do stuff with him, but if was to split i don't think i would find a lad like that to understand my problem then i would have to consider going private to have an operation.”

what is normal?
we only start to worry what we look like becasue of these celebs.
most girls would do any thing to "fit in" having boobs jobs going on diet. and what for just to look like ever one esle.
ever one has seen porn films and we all know its not like that at all. it should be about you and your partner and if he/she does say any thing like your too large go on a diet is he/she really worth being with, to me any one who trys to change you is the one witch has the problum.
i have always said its what the person is like and thats what i find attractive.
but now adays its all about how much money you have, and ever one makes there mind up about some one in the frist 5 mins and ever give you a change.
you dont need to feel odd around your partner. yes its odd feeling and you worry about it being right the 1st time but dont put so much presser on your selfs becasue beleave me i was worrying to much the first time i had sex i look back now and i shouldnt of im still with the same partner and she still gets worried about how she looks. i blame TV and celebs
sex education is a bit of a taboo and shouldnt be it needs to be talked about more along with relaships
was a grate tv program and we need more like this”

I have lots of insecurities about my body. especially with my vagina. on lip hangs really low compared to the other, and it is a different colour too. although i did have sex, the guy wernt allowed to touch it, it was completly off limits. if i though they had touched it i would really worry about what they would think. but i am now in a relationship and my boyfriend makes me feel amazing. all my insecurities fade away when im with him. everyone is different, no-one is perfect either. just enjoy your body and dont be afraid to show it off! you cant change what you have, so embrace it! :)”

Thats was very helpful. In my mid-twenties and confident about my body with my partner, I still worry that my vagina is not normal and looks uglier than other girls my partner has been with. This video really has encouraged me to realise, that there is no comparison as they vary so much! Thanks :-)”

I'm 20 and have not had sex, but I want to get a smear test done to check that I am clear from cervical cancer, but the only thing is that I read/saw somewhere that the nurse who does the smear has to use some sort of metal forceps or something - Im not sure what they are called...Anyway, Im really worried that it wont fit! It sounds stupid, but I know it's a really good idea to get a smear and everything - but how can my vagina stretch when I am not at all sexually aroused?!
Anyone had a smear test before want to offer some advice?”

I used to be really worried about my vagina as one lip has allways hung lower than the other for as long as i can remember. But now i dont worry as i've realised it's really normal.

Cynthia, regarding your Labia minora, please do not worry ALL ladies are different in that region, I am a 40 yr old gay female, and have had 5 female sexual partners, all of them different in looks down there, and you are not alone in having larger labia minora, please do not worry about it, and whatever you do please please please do not go the drastic route and have surgery to make them smaller, any guy you become intimate with, if the relationsip is right for you he will enjoy your body and make you feel comfortable with yourself. Good luck and i hope you come to realise that we are all individuals in mind and body.”

i am a 17 year old boy who, after seeing this video, has realised that girls go through the same anxiety, which is a great relief. this video comes at a great time in my sexual life as i am in my first proper relationship. i talked to her about how i felt about my anatomy and she talked about hers and this made our relationship stronger and the sex better too. the main point i am trying to make is that talking to your partner, parents or even friends can often put our mind at ease and 9 times out of 10 you will find that what you think is a problem is actually perfectly normal.”

I also had lumps on my vagina but after a visit to the doctors found that these were caused by ingrown hairs on the vagina. I was advised to exfoliate before shaving and a few days after and it stopped the lumps. They also sell sprays and creams in the hair removal section of some shops that can help stop these bumps.”

Ive noticed that a lot of 15 year old girls have been posting on here about how their vagina looks. I have also had problems with being self conscious about how my genitals look and i have to admit i still am. But as bizarre as it may sound, looking at other vagina's is helping me to get over this. I encourage other people to do so as it proves that everyone looks different and the same goes for you vagina. Everyone is unique so don't be ashamed of what you or your bits look like!”

I'm in a very healthy, loving relationship and whilst both my partner and I feel ready for the emotional side of sex and have done for some time, we discovered that I'm too tight for him to fit. Our relationship is strong enough to withstand this inconvenience and we managed to laugh it off at the time, but I was quite embarrassed and as sex is an important aspect of our relationship I'd like to sort it out. Is this a common problem for girls in their mid teens? And how can it be helped?”

hi, having read a few of these comments i would just like to give some personal advice to these girls. when you come to having sex for the first time you should not feel the need to worry about your labia or shape or size of any of your other genitalia. if you are with the right person then they will not mind at allwhat shape or size you are.
it is quite upsetting to think that there is already a stereotype way of thinking at such a young age as to how you genitals should look. when i was younger it was concern about being to fat or your boobs being to small. as a decent ize 10-12 with alot of loose flabby bits and a small chest i know that it can cause concern for you. however snce i got with my current partner of over 4 years i have grown to love my body and my shape as it is my own unique shape. i am not fitting into the sereotype of having to look thin. i think you are all right to know your genital area well so you can tell if there is any changes in them(lumos etc) but i also feel you should relax and learn to love your body as it is. that way otherswill admire it too. surgery is such a dramatic way to go and it doesnt always turn out the way you would expect.”

i have to say if anything a girl shouldn't be worried about the looks of there vagina because its just like a guy and his penis size we are sub conscious about it but we have the same problems but we should keep it out of our system as there isn't anything wrong with the looks of the vagina just feel more confident in yourselves an it'll be fine”

Lauren, don't worry! I used to think exactly the same and part of my reluctancy to have sex came from the fear that his penis wouldn't be able to penetrate my vagina or it would hurt loads. I lost my virginity at 18 a few months ago to my boyfriend and i felt so comfortable that all of those worries disappeared. Just make sure that you're ready.”

I'm 15 and feel that I'm emotionally ready for sex, but I am concerned about the aftermath of what could happen, or if a condom was to split or slip off during sex, and becoming pregnant. I wouldnt be able to tell from my period pattern either, because I have sometimes missed a few months out, plus I am not on the pill. Is it normal to have a period one month, then miss one out completely the next? Also, is it likely to have an orgasm during your first time of sex? My vagina, in my opinion, is very large, and not 'tight'. Please help!”

hello everyone, i am currently watching the show, and am now in the kegal exercises, and changes after pregnancy, i am more worried about the changes before pregnacy. i am 19 and have been with my boyfriend for three years i had been having sex a long time before that and with many partners, its not until recently i have been experience alot of pain during sex, the cervical opening and the neck is moving closer and closer about an inch and a half away from the opening to my vagina and can put my finger all around, i am also constantly wetting my self when i come from sitting position and waking up very wet,like urine. i have been to the doctors complaining of these symptoms and have been tested for chlamydia, thrush, and another one and all came back clean, i have also has cyctitis relief, my GP says the movement of my cervix is normal, and wont do anything about my symptoms. this movement does not feel normal and the pain is wrecking my sex life! at first i thought it was the affect of having the implant taken out because i have not had a proper period since taking it out after 2 years of constant bleeding, and now i don't know what to think or what to do about it.”

I went to a sexual health clinic as i had lumps around my vagina and was worried that these were genital warts i found out that they were actually skin tags which can be mistaken for warts and visa versa i had them removed it was slightly painful but in long run it was worth it so if you do have lumps down there then dont be shy to get them checked out like i was and left them for a year they just got bigger and in some cases it could be warts so better to be safe than sorry .”

I havnt surfed the site completely but wanted to add a piece on what I have been through. When I was growing up from 12 - 18 I developed what was the start of female breasts. This is called gaenocomastia in men. This was diagnosed when I was 19 as Kleinfelters syndrome. This condition occurs when men have the chromosomes in a male are XXY instead of XY. There are many side effects of this condition including learning difficulites, muscle and bone reduction, infertility and breast growth. To reduce the effects I have been put on Testosterone suppliments as my body does not make enough. I had breast reduction and currently have a three monthly injection of testosterone. The only other side effect I have is infertility. My height has not been affected by this as I am 6'5" and I have no learning difficulties. Different side effects occur in different people. I thought I would post my experience as I had trouble in high school with bullying from it and want to advise others if they have this problem.”

I first lost my virginity at 20 with a guy I'd known for a long time but wasn't actually going out with. I did feel like I just had to get it over and done with as other people can make it hard for you to just stand up and say it's okay that you haven't lost it. I didn't have sex again until 8 months ago when I met my now fiance. He waited for me to be ready, as I felt this time around I wanted to wait. I'm 23 now and I know I made the right decision and I have never been happier or felt less pressured. My partner makes me feel like the most gorgeous girl in the world and I like to boost his confidence whenever he picks at his appearance. I hope other guys and girls will be able to resist from doing something they don't want to do and know in the end it was the right decision.”

Girls. Don't be worried about your vagina being too tight, it will stretch a little, and when a guy gets a "hard on" its not ROCK. You won't get teased for a tight vagina. Most guys will probably say its a good thing. You might have to help him build up stamina... ;)”

Heyyy
i've just turned 17 and spent from the age of 15 i didnt look right down below, that my labia was far too excessive... then my boyfriend made a comment about excess skin and it made me feel disgusting, like faulty goods. So i went to my gp and she referred me to the hospital who said I was normal.. I'm still not happy at all but i'm just getting on with it... unless I come into some money in which case I probably still would get labiaplasty.. but i dunno if its worth it.. but for now yano .. i know the best attitude to have is "don't like, don't look!"”

Well, I'm 15, have gotten pregnant twice and I have had two abortions. I have always been ahead in puberty and looks. And no; I am not a slag...
I just want to say, for everyone else out there who is worried about sex, don't be; your time will come. And you WILL find the right guy for you. Just don't rush it, ok? And you will always find someone to give you advice.”

I am 15 and considering to have sex , i feel confident to have it but im worried about the condom splitting and if it does do i just go to the clinic for the pill ? I am also worried that the penis will not fit into my vagina . Its hard to explain , as sex seems easy for my freinds.”

Once you're in a relationship where you care about each other, things like what your genitals look like doesn't become an issue anymore as you become comfortable with each other I guess which is a major issue with having sex. You've got to be ready emotionally and physically and one of the emotional sides is being comfortable infront of your partner.”

Hi, i'm a 16 year old girl me and my boyfriend watch the programme everyweek together and decided to visit the website.
It really helped!
i was very worried about what my vagina looked like befor i was with my boyfriend. I wasnt exactly an angel. but no one had actually seen my vagina before.
I knew when i started going out with my boyfriend that it was right i knew he was the one. And by the time it came to it i didnt even care, he had accepted me like i was, and as everybody says, everyone is different, he made me feel good about myself but i still wasnt 100% percent about it all until this programme. its made it all seem normal and made me less insecure. and its the same with my boyfriend too.. he has always been a bit shy and that down there even though i re-assured him like all the time.. but like this show helped.. and i feel much better about it all. great programme.”

girls!!! really, you need to stop worrying about the way your vagina looks!! everyone's is different, and to be honest lads your age will not know what a vagina is supposed to look like. im 19, iv had quite a lot of sexual experience after losing my virginity at 15 - not saying im an expert but it is nothing to worry about at all.... they all look the same, none of them are nice to look at .... and neither are penis' coming to think of it - they are horrible. so if anyone has to be embarrased about the look of their genitals its the guys!!”

i'm 16. i have been with my boyfriend for a year and 9 months and have been sexually active with him for a year and 4 months. i was never particularly nervous about him seeing my vagina, because i love him and know how beautiful he thinks i am in every way. however,unknowingly to all my friends and my boyfriend, i am and always have been very self concious about my vagina. i ahve large labia lips and this has been bugging me for as long as i can remember. i know vaginas are all different, but i worry that, for example, i will get laughed at in smear tests or people will think ime a freak. advice??”

I'm a Seventeen and ten months year old girl. I've known my labia minora are larger than my majoura, although i'm conscientious about the anatomy despite what another male/female think of it and the rest of the media. I despise the appearance of it and i am considering an operational labia surgey to treduce the size of the minora. I have never had a personal relationship but i want to get these depressed misery and obessive, taboo thoughts out of my mind and have surgey while i study and not worry day in and night about it.”

Hello to anyone - if u have something to say about what i write say this is to Kirsty aged 14 then i no who wants to ask me something :)

I'm 14 and not really considering sex, but I feel I would be emotionally ready. I've read all the concerns about girls being worried about the size of their inner labia being one side bigger than the other, but mine are exactly the same. So thats one thing I'm not worried about anymore. However, I sort of feel that it is physically impossible for me to have sex, because I can only just fit one finger into my vagina, let alone a penis. I know this may have something to do with my hymen, but mine doesnt feel like 'a thin piece of skin' instead it feels quite thick and elastic and would probably have to be cut! Which is the last thing I want! I don't think I have one straight forward hole, but instead 'several pathways'. It's hard to explain but I really dont think I'm normal, especially as sex seems to be so easy for everyone else, physically.”

Heyy,, im 14 and seem to have the same concerns as everyone else. ive been going out with my boyfriend for 6 months but am still not comfortable with him going downstairs. he seems to be so comfortable with his own body and makes me feel silly that im so self concious. i want to tell him why i push away every time but i cant seem to get the words out. i think my vagina looks wrong but how can i say that.
advice pleeeeese ..??”
