We're always trying to get to the bottom of sexual health rumors, and one we've been hearing for a while really needs an investigation. This one has it that the size of a woman's vagina is related to how much sex she's had. The more time she spends in the bedroom, the rumor goes, the looser and wider her vagina will be.

“Unless you are engaging in practices that are out of the ordinary, I would say absolutely not.” says Alyssa Dweck, MD, ob-gyn in Westchester, New York and co-author of The Complete A to Z for Your V. “ The vagina is an incredibly forgiving area, very rich in nerves and blood supply . . . so traditional penile-vaginal intercourse isn’t going to cause any permanent stretching, although things stretch at the time of course,” Dr. Dweck tells Health.

Here's what she means by that. When you’re aroused, your vagina becomes naturally lubricated, and it expands and widens in order to accommodate a penis. But this all reverses once the arousal state and the sex is over, says Dr. Dweck. “The vagina is more of a potential state. The opening can be created, but you don't walk around with a gaping vagina just because you've been having sex,” she explains.

There is one exception to this, according to Dr. Dweck. After the first few times you have sex, your vaginal opening will be more open because odds are it was previously covered by the hymen, the thin membrane of tissue covering the vaginal opening all women are born with. But this isn't a given, especially since the hymen could have been broken earlier, say by using tampons or even playing sports. And even without the hymen, the vaginal canal doesn't become bigger, she adds.

So if sex doesn't have a loosening effect on the vagina, what does, if anything? Having a baby via a vaginal delivery. Childbirth can permanently stretch the vaginal canal and opening, especially if an instrument like forceps or a vacuum is used during a delivery.

“A 10-pound baby could pass through the vagina, and although things may not go back to 100% the same after that, they sure go back to almost normal ,” says Dr. Dweck. A woman who has a huge laceration during delivery or a large episiotomy is less likely to return to her pre-baby size and feel, however.

Dr. Sherry A. Ross, MD, ob-gyn at Providence Saint John’s Health Center in Southern California and author of She-ology, says a well-endowed partner can also make things looser—but only at the vaginal opening, not throughout the vagina itself. But even that loosening isn't all that substantial or noticeable. “Your vagina accommodates a penis fairly well,” says Dr. Ross. “I mean to really stretch out the vagina, you need a baby coming through it.”

The size of your vagina—whether it's been widened thanks to childbirth or a partner with a large penis—isn't something that necessarily remains the same your entire life. Once a woman goes through menopause, explains Dr. Ross, the vaginal entrance can shrink and become tighter if she is not having sex as frequently as she did before. Dr. Dweck attributes this tightening to the decreased estrogen production that happens after menopause.

What about all the jokes guys make about having sex with a woman who is loose down below? Don't believe them—it's unlikely that a man can really notice the difference. “I think guys can tell when a woman is a virgin, and they can probably tell if someone's had two babies or have had a vaginal birth," says Dr. Ross. "But I don’t think they're really going to notice much of a difference . . . unless a guy has a really small penis.”

I have been in a relationship since I was 23 and we have sex regularly. I am 26 now and my boyfriend is losing interest in sex as he says my vagina is becoming 'loose'. I don't feel any difference! Is this possible? Could it happen due to masturbation? What can I do to make it tight again?
Answered by Sexual Health Physician & Medical Sex Therapist Dr Vijaysarathi Ramanthan
I am glad that you did seek professional advice rather keeping it to yourself.

He told me that my vagina is big and loose - this is a heavy judgment laden sentence told to you by your new boyfriend. How does he know that yours is big and loose? It is well possible that his penis is smaller in girth and so he is not able to feel. It is also possible that you are well lubricated that he could not feel much of a grip (this is especially true if your boyfriend has always masturbated using his hands). Rather than jumping to a conclusion that your vagina is big and loose, you need to be confident about yourself that you previously had a mutually pleasurable sex. To some extent, vagina gets a bit loose after 2 years of sex. What is needed for you now is pelvic floor tightening exercise (Kegel's exercise) and some medication/relaxation for your mind. There are many vaginal tightening creams/gels sold on the net but I have no recommendation for any. If you think it works and makes you feel confident, go for it (www.shycart.com). Open communication with your boyfriend is important. If he is not able to understand your position and sabotages the sexual experience due to the size, then there are few fundamental issues that you need to clarify/review with your boyfriend. Sex is part of life and in that intercourse is only a fraction of sex. Please do not let a very small aspect of your sex take control of your whole life.

Do you have pain with sex? Do you feel too loose after having a baby? Is your vagina considered “normal”? We have answers to these questions as well as treatment options to help restore vaginal health.
Vaginal tightness changes over a woman’s lifetime and may sometimes feel too tight or too loose, depending on certain factors. The vagina is designed to have sex and birth a baby, but these events, along with aging, can change the tightness, elasticity, and shape of the vagina.
It’s important to understand what is considered normal to recognize if you have a problem and if so, when you should see your doctor.
The vagina changes throughout a woman’s lifetime. Two main causes of vaginal changes include pregnancy and childbirth, which can loosen the vagina’s natural tightness. Certain factors can impact the nerves and muscles of the vaginal canal, such as the size of the baby, the difficulty of labor, if tearing occurred, or if it was a vaginal delivery or a C-section . While the vagina usually returns to its pre-birth state, it may feel somewhat different after giving birth.
If you’ve recently had a baby and are experiencing looseness, doing floor exercises and Kegels can help regain muscle strengths. While a more toned pelvic floor won’t change the shape of your vagina, it can help you gain more control over your vaginal muscles, which can result in more enjoyable sex. These exercises can also improve your bladder tone and bladder control if this is a problem after giving birth.

Kegel exercises are always recommended as they can improve muscle tightness. The easiest way to start doing Kegels is when you are urinating as this will help you know which muscles to tighten. If your urine flow changes, you are using the correct muscles.
While urinating, clinch your pelvic floor muscles to try to stop the flow of urine. Hold the squeeze for four seconds, then release. Don’t do this every time you urinate, just until you learn which muscles to tighten, and then after that you can do it at other times throughout the day.
Build up to doing ten of these exercises in a row, approximately five times per day. After a few months, you should notice an improvement in pelvic muscle strength.
Kegels and pelvic floor therapy can improve vaginal tightness if it is a minor problem. However, if looseness is significant and bothersome, consult with your urogynecologist for other treatments.
As estrogen levels drop during perimenopause and menopause , women will experience vaginal changes. These changes include dryness, thinning vaginal tissues, loss of sensation, and sex isn’t as enjoyable as it once was. They may also notice that their natural lubricant may no longer be sufficient for easy penetration. Store-bought, water-based lubricants can help improve penetration.
For many women, hormone replacement therapy can significantly improve sexual satisfaction. Talk to your doctor to see if hormone therapy is right for you and learn about some of the natural options available.

If you experience pain during intercourse, you may be concerned that your vagina is too small or too tight. Usually, that is not the case, but there are some exceptions. If you do feel pain during sex, make an appointment with your physician as pain during intercourse can be a sign of an underlying condition such as infection, injury, congenital abnormality, prior surgeries, or a shallow vagina.
In its unaroused state, the vagina is typically three to four inches. But when you’re aroused, the vagina is designed to expand and elongate during arousal, growing to approximately six inches. The upper portion of the vagina lengthens and pushes your cervix and uterus inside the body more.
The vagina also releases a natural lubricant so that when penetration occurs, it’s less painful or difficult. If penetration begins too soon and you’re not lubricated, you may experience pain. Up to 30 percent of women experience pain during vaginal intercourse. If the pain or tightness is persistent, make an appointment to see your doctor.
The only person that can determine that answer is you. Every woman’s vagina is different but one thing for sure is that sex shouldn’t be painful or uncomfortable, and you shouldn’t endure feeling too tight. If you do experience pain, discomfort, or bleeding during sex, make an appointment with your doctor. Treatment options are available. Call us today at 770.721.6060 .
