A labia specialist has revealed eight totally normal ways a vagina can look – including having asymmetrical or enlarged inner lips.
Plastic surgeon Ben Khoda, from the UK, told how each month 250 people in the UK search for ‘is my vagina normal?’, and with the topic being something you wouldn’t bring up with your friends or family, many turns to the internet to give them answers.
Dangly or tightly tucked, wrinkled or smooth, thick or thin – the labia (or vaginal lips) come in all different shapes and sizes.
And like any of our beautiful body parts, the way the inner and outer labia (vagina) looks and feels is all part of our genetic makeup.
‘It’s a common misconception that vaginas should look a certain way but, this is not true at all,’ explained Ben, who works at The Hospital Group.
‘Just like the way in which the size, shape or girth of men’s private parts vary, so do women’s. The most common differences in the labia are the shape and size, however, the thickness and colour of them varies too.’
Here are the eight most popular types of labia;
Some women are conscious of their vaginal lips being different lengths. One may be tucked tightly towards the vagina, while the other hangs down a little.
Just like eyebrows, some labias thrive best as sisters and not twins!
Other women have curved vaginal lips, best described as a `flower`. Pretty as these labias may be, you might feel conscious that your vagina looks too wide, and prefer a slightly slinkier version.
Sometimes the inner lips of the labia hang below the outer lips, which may cause discomfort in some women. There’s no such thing as a perfection proportion, though!
On the flip side, some women have slightly loose outer lips, keeping the inside of the vagina hidden like a little pocket.
The outer lips can also be longer and may even brush against the legs, but not necessarily stick or bulge out. Again, this is completely normal and you shouldn’t be afraid to embrace the extra length!
Lots of women have small, petite lips which leave the rest of the vagina still visible.
Lots of other women have tiny vaginal lips that conceal the vagina completely.
Last but not least, some women have enlarged inner lips that may cause physical discomfort, since more of the sensitive vaginal skin is exposed.
Khoda said: “You’ll be happy to know that every labia is a normal labia. However, some women have enlarged or uneven vaginal lips which may cause them physical or emotional discomfort, which they may recognise as “abnormal” compared to other women.”
“If the size or shape of your labia is interfering with your everyday life or even reducing the quality of activities you enjoy, it’s time to think about whether you’d like an expert to take a look.”
“This may be especially true if the appearance or feel of your labia has changed in recent years and you’d like your old labia back.”
“If you have an enlarged or uneven labia, you may be experiencing discomfort while doing certain activities. Although these are nothing to worry about, they may be bothering you nonetheless:”
“Most vaginal lips stay the same throughout our lives, and if yours is enlarged or uneven, it could be due to genetics.”
Ben said: “Vaginal irritation can over time change the appearance of the labia, this can come from the clothes we wear every day to the type of exercise that we take.
“It can also come from some more obvious but none the less important factors such as childbirth and sexual intercourse which can affect the way the vagina looks over time. These are are all totally normal and natural ways for the labia to change.
“Vaginal examination is understandably an area where women may feel anxious or worried about. We provide female chaperones and ensure that the examination is performed in suitable surroundings.”

Got a question about sex that you're too embarrassed to ask? Mashable is here to answer all your burning sex questions — from the weird and wonderful, to the graphic and gory. Think of us as your sexy agony aunts.
There’s nothing fishy about wanting to know more about vaginal discharge. In fact, it could save your life.
Women and people with vaginas have body-confidence-shattering obstacles thrown at us by society time and time again. But, when it comes to our sex organs, we’re often at the mercy of derogatory cleanliness myths and STI shame.
Navigating through myths associated with the body as a young adult (and a fully grown adult, for that matter) can be difficult. That’s because we attach a lot of focus and shame to the vagina and vulva , especially when it comes to the way it smells.
You may have heard the pretty grim rhyme: "if it smells like chicken get licking, if it smells like trout get the fuck out." And, if you haven’t, I’m sorry to have brought it into your life. But, it’s playground-ish rhetoric like this that finds its way into lad-culture discourse that can make it feel shame-inducing to own a vagina and vulva sometimes. So much so, that according to a study by Vagisil in 2019, over two-thirds of women are self-conscious about their smell. This affects things like pleasure, with over 50 percent of women avoiding oral sex and a staggering 58 percent of women avoiding intimacy altogether.
Discharge is part of the (and I cannot stress this enough) totally natural way the vagina self-cleans. Sometimes gooey, sometimes a bit smelly, one hundred percent normal. Often found in underwear, or in folds of the inner and outer labia, discharge can come in a range of textures, smells and colours, depending on what’s going on with your body, your diet, and your menstrual cycle . And, it can tell you a lot about your health and fertility.
Dr. Deborah Lee, of Dr. Fox Online Pharmacy , tells me that having some discharge is completely normal (told you). "During the reproductive years, the female genital tract produces secretions quite naturally, as a way of lubricating the genital area and cleansing it," she says.
She goes on to explain that when ovulation begins, young women start to notice their vaginal secretions. During the menstrual cycle, the ovary produces oestrogen, which leads to a natural increase in vaginal discharge. "The fluid is a transudate – tissue fluid that is found naturally throughout the body – which exudes from the mucous membranes in the pelvic floor and genital region," she tells Mashable.
As the fluid seeps downwards, it picks up desquamated (read: scaly) epithelial cells from the endometrium (womb lining), the cervix, and the vagina, along with white blood cells and a range of bacteria, "Especially lactobacilli," she tells me. "Lactobacilli produce lactic acid, meaning the pH of the vagina is naturally acidic. The fact it is acidic makes the environment hostile and stops other bacteria from growing."
It may not surprise you to find out that a normal amount is different from person to person, and there are things like the progesterone-only contraceptive pill that can affect how much your body secretes, as well as pregnancy.
Lee explains to Mashable that when oestrogen levels peak around day 14 of the monthly cycle and then fall if no pregnancy occurs, this means vaginal discharge often becomes more copious, in the second week of the cycle, in the run-up to ovulation. The cervix also produces mucus which becomes thin and stretchy mid-cycle – like raw egg white – to facilitate the passage of sperm towards the egg. After ovulation, in the second half of the cycle, this mucus becomes thicker and more yellowy.
Every now and then our discharge can change. When this happens it can be indicative of something that’s out of balance in the body, an STI, or a bacterial infection — none of which are worthy of shame.
While we shouldn’t be ashamed if we contract an STI or bacterial infection, we absolutely should go and seek treatment. Discharge can be considered abnormal if, there is more of it than usual, it has changed in colour and consistency, it smells (perhaps of rotten fish), there are associated symptoms such as itching, irritation, or soreness or if it is blood-stained
Lee explains that non-STI abnormalities may be caused by candidiasis ( thrush or a yeast infection ) or bacterial vaginosis (BV). And, while many people might automatically associate anything wrong with their genitals as thrush, it’s most likely to be BV.
This is because of the acidic environment of the vagina. It’s perfectly balanced to protect the microbiome from being colonised by other bacteria. "If you constantly wash and use hygiene products, these raise the vaginal pH, making it more alkaline, and the natural protection from the lactobacilli disappears, meaning other bacteria can now grow," she explains. "You can see that by washing and washing with the wrong products, you are washing away the healthy lactobacilli, and simply making BV worse."
Lee advises that the only way to treat BV is with a course of antibiotics, but that you’ll also need to change your hygiene practices so that you don’t end up with recurring BV. "There is no need to use any soapy products in, or anywhere near, the vagina or vulva. You can simply shower the outside of the vulva and leave the inside alone."
She also explains that abnormal discharge can be indicative of other things upsetting the body, such as allergic vulvovaginitis (a sensitivity to hygiene products which includes soap, douches, vaginal deodorants, shampoo, bubble baths, and shower gels); a foreign body in the vagina such as a forgotten tampon, or sex toy; Or, a gynaecological diseases. And, while the latter is rare in young women of reproductive age it’s worth knowing that cervical, endometrial, and ovarian cancers can all cause an abnormal discharge.
STI discharge is a little different, as it may be caused by chlamydia, gonorrhoea, herpes, or trichomoniasis. Though it is easier to catch an STI if you have sex with multiple partners, engage in risky sex or if you don't use barrier protection, such as condoms and dental dams. Anyone can catch an STI and so regular gynaecology health checks, especially if you’ve encountered a new sexual partner, are essential.
If you’re unsure about anything, then it’s best to pop to the GP. If you’re worried about copious amounts of discharge, and you’re taking hormonal contraception, Lee suggests changing to a less oestrogenic pill, such as a 20 mcg pill, or a progesterone-only method of contraception, as this generally thickens the secretions.
She also stresses the importance of avoiding soaps and washes that alter your natural PH balance. "Keep your vagina safe, and save yourself a lot of money by not buying feminine hygiene products," she says.
Vaginas and vulvas are supposed to smell like vaginas and vulvas. Not sugar and spice.
