Labia minora are the thin lips or folds of skin that exist on either side of the vaginal orifice. They show a wide variation in size from woman to woman, so there is no ‘normal’ labial length to be viewed as sexually or cosmetically desirable for women.

The average range of labial dimensions extends from about 4.0 to 6.4 cm in length, and about 2 cm wide. It is important to note that the actual range is much wider, with normal variants being anywhere from 1.2 to 10 cm in length and 0.7 to 5 cm in width. Interestingly, the two labia of the same woman are very often of different lengths. This shows that significant variations in labial size from one side to the other, as well as between different women, are perfectly normal and not signs of labial hypertrophy or abnormal in any way.
Many cultures value larger rather than smaller labia in women, in sharp contrast to the modern trend of desiring small pre-pubescent-appearing labia in women who are sexually mature, who may even undergo surgery to achieve such an appearance.
However, exactly the opposite has been observed to occur in many African cultures. One such is the Baganda practice of teaching labial elongation as a tribal female initiation rite, always taught to young girls who are near their puberty, between 9 and 16 years, and always completed by menarche. It is taught by a related elder female of the father’s family, is kept a female secret as to its performance and details, and is expected to be performed by all females of the tribe to be eligible for marriage within the tribe.
Almost 90% of women in such areas have elongated their labia and maintain this desirable size by regular stretching. The final size of the labia is at least one to one and a half inches in length.
Elder women usually teach this practice, and girls may then practice it alone or in groups to help one another, as a type of tribal initiation practice.
In many cases, they are taught to use various botanicals such as Solanum aculeastrum Dunal and Bidens pilosa L , which are demonstrated herbal medications beneficial to the female body. These soften the labia and make stretching easier, less painful, and more rapidly effective.
The goal of this practice seems to be complex, but may be simply described as meant to increase the pleasure associated with sexual intercourse for both males and females. Both males and females seem to have a favorable attitude towards continuing this practice, which does not fit the technical or traditional definition of female genital mutilation (FGM) because it is not associated with excision or incision of the female external genitalia, and is aimed at increasing their size rather than lessening it.
Most importantly, the aim of labial stretching is to increase female sexual pleasure rather than restrict it. It is because of such findings that some researchers have pertinently suggested the term ‘female genital modification’ be applied to this practice instead.
Men in such cultures also prefer that their wives have elongated labia as this supposedly provides a better area for foreplay to achieve female sexual arousal, and helps to facilitate smoother intercourse, as well as adding to the element of enticement before actual penetration into the vagina. Whether conditioned by their culture to value this female appearance or not, these men appear to appreciate elongated labia, though they do not take any direct part in ensuring that their females perform labial stretching.
The risks of labial stretching would appear to be minimal, being mostly limited to itching and mild pain at the time of initial stretching.
Some researchers have reported contradictory findings such as significant swelling, mild bleeding from the minor cuts and sores that occur during the initial sessions, and occasional reports of neurosensitivity as a result of hypertrophic labia. There is no increased chance of transmitting sexual infections, especially as the process is complete before the girl becomes sexually active.
The primary risk would appear to be that females who choose not to undergo the process are stigmatized and less likely to find eligible partners among their tribe. For this purpose, they may be intimidated by various psychological pressure techniques into accepting it.
In some parts of Mozambique, labial elongation is associated with vaginal tightening using various mildly astringent substances present in herbs of the region. Up to 65% of women in these regions practice this on a regular basis.
It is noteworthy that this practice seems to be slowly dying out as the socio-economic profile of the region changes, whether or not this is in response to the introduction of Western ideas of female sexuality or not.

I think it should be a choice and not an obligation. In many cultures, it's an obligation. It may not have any risks, but it's an obligation.

The term FGM, female genital mutilation, is known widely around the world.
The practise involves the removal of young girls' clitorises and in most cases it's done brutally and unhygienically.
The ritual is mostly carried out in African communities, but the BBC has found that it occurs in the UK and the US too.
More common in the UK is labia stretching, the process which sees a woman having her labia minora (inner lips of the vagina), pulled by hand until they stretch up to five inches.
Researchers found that this often happens to young girls who haven't yet reached puberty… even though it's illegal.
But surprisingly, the research found that some adult women are opting to have the procedure done so they will be "more attractive to men."
These women believe that it will improve a man's sex life by giving them "something to touch," and therefore, make them "more faithful."
Some women believe that stretching their labia will make childbirth easier, but according to Eney Mhiza, a sexual practises researcher at Wolverhampton University, "these are just myths."
As part of the BBC's short film about labia stretching, a woman named Betty confirms the grim reality of FGM .
Betty had FGM done to her as a child when she lived in Zimbabwe, and now campaigns against it.
She explained, "Elderly women tell little girls to open their legs, the lips of your private parts… just the inside, they start pulling the little things out.
"It was so, so inhuman, so terrible," Betty added.
While Betty wants to warn young women and children off the idea, the BBC found that others are encouraging their daughters to do it.
They found a woman living in the UK, who tried to have the practise done on her 12-year-old daughter.
Her daughter refused to go through the process as it was too painful, but her mother said that the procedure is "expected" in her culture, and therefore is not a form of abuse.
The practises are carried out so secretly, that nobody has an official figure of how many women go it.

How Do You Stretch Your Inner Labias to make them longer? I have pierced them in order to use weights, but I cannot find any info on how much weight to use, or how long time-wise to wear the weights, or even how often to use them. Any help would be appreciated
Weights hung on piercings will also stretch the piercings. You might want to try clamps instead.
Are you trying to make them actually longer or ar you trying for larger peircings sorry i kinda got mixed up reading this
I had them pierced in order to make it easier to stretch them by hanging weights. But I am concerned that if I put too much weight on the rings, they will rip out.
You're probably on the right track using weights, but just listen to your body and only put on so much weight at a time. Wearing looser clothing so you can stretch for longer might also help. Good luck!
I'm trying to figure out how long per day to use the weights also.
I have my clit hood and my inner labia (one pair on the labia, but want another pair)
But why? I'm honestly curious. Is it a self image thing? No judgement is passed!
