Be proud of your bulge. When I was a teen we called that a "bar of soap". We looked for girls with a nice big bar of soap.
I'm 20 years old and do not have labia minora. The rest of my vulva is "average-looking," I guess. I haven't had any problems so far, but I'm wondering if anything wrong could occur do to the lack of labia minora?
This is rude. Everyone is different.
Remember, friends- The vagina is the canal on the inside. The vulva is the external female genitalia.
The labia minora surround and protect the clitoris and the openings of the vagina and urethra. Indeed they appear as an extension to the clitoral hood. Yours may be very small rather than completely non-existent. Has a doctor commented on them? Have you been told you don't have then at all?
When unstimulated they close together, protecting their inner mucous membrane and closing off the vaginal entrance.
They may provide exciting extra stimulation.
Also, they secrete antibacterial substances as a defence against infection.
If there were a risk that "anything wrong could occur do to the lack of labia minora", I would think that a doctor would have commented on it when examining you.
I hope this helps as a start.
Dear Ana
The initial question was posted over a year ago.
Why do you think you "look like a freak"? Has anyone adversely commented on it? With what are you comparing yourself? What aspect is freakish to you?
Often, when standing, the labia minora are hidden, and only the cleft is seen, In those cases it would only be when the labia majora are pulled back that the labia minora (or lack thereof) would be seen. Many women have small labia minora. Indeed everyone is different, so it need not be a problem.
You state your confidence has been killed. Is that all the time, or when exposed in communal showers for instance, or with boyfriends?
"What did I do to myself?" I don't know what you may have done without you saying more, but If you were born without labia minora, then you have done nothing. However, if you have no labia minora, do you also lack a clitoral hood?
Obviously I can't see what you look like, but has a medical professional commented on your appearance?
No-one one with any feelings for you should be adversely commenting on the beauty of your genitalia. I certainly would not.
Hope this helps as a start.
As a girl I think a girls valve +the labia is a supper good lookin and 98% of boy or men will NOT give us girls a falling grade on our valve and labia must boys and men want that P***Y .. IF you girls have your Valve and Labia CUT ON and the DR'S CUT off to much it will NOT come back and then you will have to live with that all of your lives so just be happy with what you have ..

As a man I have to say, if you are one of the few, lucky women who have large labia then relish in your uniqueness and just how special you really are. Why would you want to change anything and be just like all of the “other” women out there? If you changed yourself then all you would be is one of millions and millions that are perfectly identical and completely boring. Right now you have something special that the other women never can and never will have. If your lover, boyfriend or husband says stupid things about your vagina then just remind him of any physical characteristic he has that is different (we all have them or think we have them) and tell him that you love him completely in spite of him not being perfect. Ask that he show you the same love and respect. If he is too dense to get your point then the next time he wants to get frisky tell him that you would love to give him the best sexual experience of his entire life but you are just not sure if a woman with a body like yours could properly love a man like him – based on his comments. Just watch his attitude change in a heartbeat. Only a man with very low self-esteem will ever criticize the body of a woman he is dating or has married. Who does he think he is? Adonis? Personally, I adore and cherish women with large labia. Do not change ladies.
