Just as your face starts sagging, so your lady parts will inevitably age over time. One critical difference: There are a million products to help keep your face looking supple, but your vagina is kind of left to fend for itself. “Gynecologists don’t tell women these things are going to happen, and then women come in shocked that their vagina and vulva have completely changed over the course of a couple years,” says Karen Boyle, M.D., an expert in female sexual health and vaginal rejuvenation.

Beginning as early as your 20s, you may lose fat in your outer labia and mons pubis (the mound of fatty tissue above your lips). “Those areas can start to sag—it’s volume loss, just like you’d have in your breasts or face as you age,” says Boyle. That’s often followed by changes inside your vagina (hello, stretching!), and as you approach menopause, the lining of your vagina starts to thin, blood flow decreases, and your pelvic floor muscles weaken, says cosmetic gynecologist Marco Pelosi, III, M.D.

And a sagging hoo-ha can be a confidence killer in the bedroom. A recent study in Psychology of Women Quarterly found that women who were dissatisfied with the appearance of their genitals had lower sexual self-esteem and satisfaction. “Not only do things look different, but things feel different,” says Boyle.

That may explain why vaginal rejuvenation is becoming increasingly popular—the number of procedures performed in the U.S. jumped 64 percent from 2011 to 2012, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. But you don’t have to seek plastic surgery to keep your lady parts looking and feeling young. Instead, try these simple strategies.

If you gain and lose, you can expect your vulva to flop. “The more swings in the size of an area, the more stretching,” says Pelosi. Equally important is maintaining a healthy weight. If you’re super skinny, your private parts can start to look as gaunt as your face as soon as aging sets in. “We see women who are 35 years old, but look much older because they have no fat in their face,” says Boyle. “Similarly, the labia majora can take on a saggy appearance—and once you lose that fat, you’re not going to gain it back.”

You’ve probably read about the merits of Kegels a million times: tighter vagina! Better sex!—but there’s a good chance you’re still doing them wrong. “Women don’t do enough of them, and they don’t hold them for long enough,” says Pelosi. The routine he suggests: Contract your pelvic floor muscle five seconds, relax, and repeat 100 times, three times a day. Sound daunting? You can make Kegels fun by squeezing a few reps in during sex. You can imagine pinching your partner’s penis with those muscles, which helps you target the right spot (and gives your guy an extra, pleasurable sensation), Boyle says.

For a little extra workout—for your vaginal muscles, that is—trade your desk chair for a Swiss ball for 15 minutes a day. This forces the muscles of your pelvic floor to contract, without doing a single squeeze, says Pelosi. “It feels like nothing is happening, but it’s a very efficient way to keep the pelvic floor toned,” he says.

The whole “use or lose it” idea applies to your vag, ladies. “If you’re not getting stimulation and increased blood flow to that area, the tissue and muscle can change,” says Boyle. Blood flow is critical for lubrication (and orgasm)—which you naturally start to lose as you age. Plus, if you and your guy aren’t worried about pregnancy, his semen may have an anti-aging effect, thanks to the hormones, fatty acids, and anti-inflammatory compounds, say Spanish scientists.

Training for a triathlon? Know this: The constant friction of crotch-to-seat contact can pull and stretch your labia, especially if you have naturally pronounced outer lips, says Christine Hamori, M.D., director of Cosmetic Surgery + Skin Spa in Duxbury, Massachusetts.

Scrubbing the living daylights out of your labia is not only unnecessary—a gentle cleansing will do, really!—but harsh soaps can leave you dry and irritated below the belt. “The labial tissue is so sensitive,” says Boyle. “You see women with very dry facial skin because they overuse products that suck water out of the cells. That can happen down there too."

Take the reins and climb on top: “Being on bottom can sometimes cause stretching,” says Boyle. Why? Because your partner—not you—is usually controlling the pace and intensity of the thrusting, which means he may accidentally push past what’s physically comfortable for you. By contrast, when you’re on top, you’re in control—and “it’s much easier to contract those muscles when you’re on top,” says Boyle.

First, we had scrotox – a procedure that turned men’s prunes into plums by injecting Botox into their balls.
And now, in the true spirit of gender equality, we have labia puffing.
That’s right – you can now turn your old, crinkly, saggy vagina into a fresh, fat apricot.
Because as you age, you’ll be constantly reminded about how old and ugly your face, arse and stomach are – so why not worry about your deflated genitals too?
In yet more evidence of the fetishisation of youth, the people carrying out labia puffing say that ageing and weight loss can cause the amount of fat around your vagina to decrease, which apparently leaves it looking a bit sad. The ‘labia puffing’ counteracts this by filling out the sagging areas.
According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, labia puffing works by injecting hyaluronic acid into the labia majora. They say it can be repeated again and again with ‘virtually no complications’.
Dr Walden, a spokesperson for the society, tells Metro.co.uk that this sort of procedure has grown in popularity thanks to the rise of the Brazilian – and the proliferation of magazine images of ‘perfect’ young women – but she says the treatment is ’empowering’.
‘I’m seeing a large increase in this labial puff procedure, as well as surgical labiaplasty and noninvasive vaginal tightening – whether either laser or radio-frequency,’ she explains.
‘Women started to bare all by getting Brazilian waxes and laser hair removal, so the areas became more noticeable to them and their partners.
‘And we live in a world where there is easy and instant access to images online of women who are exposing themselves, and many have no hair and appear young (or are Photoshopped), so that plays a part in this sexual revolution as well.’
‘I would recommend it to a women who had experienced involution or sagging of the labia after having children or after the menopause,’ she adds.
‘Who wouldn’t want a little pick me up down there?’
Dr Walden says there are ‘not a lot of acute dangers with this minimally invasive procedure’ – but she does admit that the very few ‘potential negatives’ include haematoma (blood clots) and lumpiness, due to the way the filler is injected.
In addition, if the clients’ own fat is used to inject, it is possible for the donor site (where the fat is harvested from) to can also have side effects – including rippling, broken capillaries and minor injection marks.
We asked Dr Naomi Crouch from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists whether it’d be a treatment she’d recommend.
‘Little research exists about the clinical effectiveness of female genital cosmetic surgery (FGCS), she tells Metro.co.uk.
‘As with any surgical procedure, FGCS carries a number of risks including bleeding, wound infection and scarring, as well as reduced sensitivity of the genitals. There is also concern of a psychological impact if the woman’s expectations are not met.
‘We need to inform women that everyone is unique and that variation in appearance is normal in the vast majority of cases.’
Let us say then that ideally you would not worry about the appearance of your labia. As Dr Crouch says, they come in all shapes and sizes, and they are all beautiful and need not have anything injected into them. However, changes can happen to the vagina that could affect a woman’s health – and on that, Dr Crouch has this to say.

‘As a woman ages, her pelvic floor muscles may weaken,’ she says. ‘Pelvic floor exercises can help tone the vaginal muscles and pelvic floor muscles, and make the vagina feel firmer.’
Dr Crouch also says that changes in the way the vagina feels can be caused by pelvic organ prolapse, something that is quite common in older women.
‘To reduce the chance of prolapse happening, women can make simple lifestyle changes, like losing weight if they are overweight, managing a chronic cough if they have one, stopping smoking, avoiding constipation and heavy lifting, as well as certain physical activities that could exacerbate the condition,’ she says.
‘In addition, physiotherapy with pelvic floor exercises and vaginal hormone treatment can also help. If a woman’s prolapse is more severe, she may require a pessary to help support the pelvic organs or surgery to repair the prolapse.
‘We recommend women with symptoms of pelvic floor prolapse speak to their doctor who can talk about the options available to help improve their condition and quality of life,’ she says.

Elite Daily writer Jamie Leelo spoke to a former vag waxer by the name of Mel who broke down all the ins and outs of the thousands of vaginas she saw, and came up with FIVE major vagina archetypes.
Of course, not all vaginas fit into these categories, and, hell, what are categories anyway? As Mel noted, "This isn’t a mathematic algorithm. This is just to help women understand this weird ‘secret’ [the appearance of our vaginas] we keep from our friends and society at large is not as scandalous or peculiar as we may have thought."
But, for simplicity's sake, we're gonna refer to the vulva here as a vagina, mmkay? Also, these all have "Ms." names, but ANYBODY can have a vagina.
The Barbie look features a vag where the labia majora (outer vagina lips) completely contain the labia minora (inner vagina lips).
This vag model is much more common .
