This journey has shown me that there is a huge gap in the understanding and acceptance of female genitals. Listen to Mia Freedman's interview with Ellie Sedgwick from 'Comfortable in my skin' to hear her talk more about her vulva journey. But I no longer want to change my labia and I want to do for women all around the world what that one person did for me: I want to educate men and women on what means to be “normal” downstairs. Looking back at the dozens of intimate photos I have taken, I think he would laugh if he saw how seriously I took his advice. He told me to go and educate myself on what a normal vulva looks like. Eventually, I saved up the money for the cosmetic surgery, but I was lucky enough to see a plastic surgeon who talked me out of altering such a delicate body part. Of course, after two consultations, it was clear that I couldn’t afford the surgery. Due to a lack of education and horrible things other students (boys AND girls) said, I came to believe I needed to be “fixed”.Īfter years of this body shame dictating who I dated and who I let in, I decided to go see a plastic surgeon. We have chosen to make them 'click-for-view' to avoid accidental viewing, but if you're not comfortable with intimate imagery of women's bodies, maybe click away now.įrom the age of 13, high school experiences led me to become self-conscious of my vulva. This post contains photos of 50 different women's vulvas. You can find out more about The Unspeakables here.

You wouldn’t hate your house if it had ugly curtains.Welcome to The Unspeakables, a series by Mamamia that tells unflinchingly honest stories about being a woman - whatever that looks like.

Moral of the story is that every vagina is different, but it shares a sisterhood with all other vaginas, and nobody should feel strange or abnormal,’ Mel said. Tulip looks like a tulip about to bloom, with the labia minora slightly exposed up and down the labia majora. Horseshoe have a vagina that opens wider at the top but closes at the bottom, with the shape of a horseshoe.įinally, the Ms. Curtains look, Mel said, is her name for when the labia minora extend past the labia majora, sticking out either a little bit or a lot.
PICTURES OF VAGINA SHAPES FULL
The labia minora are still contained within the labia majora, but the lips of the vagina sit lower on the the pubic pone and are ‘either full and puffed up or thin and loose’.Ĭontrary to popular belief, the way the lips hang has little to do with the age or weight of a woman. The waxer noted that this is what most people think of when they picture a vagina, but it is not what most vaginas look like. Barbie, in which the labia minora are totally contained within the labia magora. The most uncommon shape is what Mel calls the Ms. Her shape names are not the actual vagina, which is the whole, but rather the outside appearance - most of which has something to do with the labia majora (the outer lips) and the labia minora (the inner lips).

However, according to a former bikini waxer who goes only by Mel to protect the identity of her clients, there are five different overall vagina shapes that she has seen in her career.
