isn’t labiaplasty surgery on the labia, not the vagina?

If we’re getting technical, the vagina is the inside part of the vulva and the labia majora are the outer lips—the inner lips are called the labia minora. While technically the female genitals as a whole are called the vulva, I think it’s more common for people to call the whole dang thing the vagina.

I’m honestly sorry I read this.

I have large labia and now I wonder if there’s something wrong with me. I’m tired of all the things that I’m supposed to feel insecure about. I am an A-cup. I am not muscle-bound and perfect. My thighs are round. My ass is flat. My calves are not sleek. I’m 5’10” and weigh 145 lbs. and I feel fat in this world. Everybody can rationalize plastic surgery however they want, I feel in my heart that it is selling out, and selling out your sisters who are trying to hold on to sanity.

Enough is enough.

I realize this is a personal decision and you feel better about yourself, and that is probably a good thing. I just can’t help but ask, “At what price?”

I’m honestly wondering when this madness is going to end and we’re going to stop cutting ourselves up for some bizarre and unattainable standard of beauty.

Alright, I’m outting myself. I, Amelia, Editor Of The Frisky, am rather lippy myself. So are a couple friends of mine. It’s kind of an inside joke for us to laugh about together. Do I wish I was less lippy? Yeah, sure. Would I get labiaplasty? No, not unless it was affecting my comfort. But that’s just my personal opinion—Anonymous, I think you should be happy with who you are and what you’ve got down below. And feel heartened—according to this poll, a majority of women agree with you and wouldn’t get labiaplasty. Nevertheless I really appreciate the writer of the essay sharing her story. It IS a procedure some women are getting and it’s nice to hear first hand WHY.

I think there’s nothin wrong with it. It’s just like male circumcision. Almost every man in US is circumcised for cultural and hygienic reasons of course but also for a better look and touch. If you don’t feel good about the thing dangling between your legs why not have it corrected. I think it’s an improvement that we have this opportunity nowadays. For me it’s not that much of an option cause i’m on a rather thight budget and my labia are not that long, but still.

I blame porn for this. And Brazilian waxes. Nobody was comparing lips when they were nicely hidden in the bush.

@ Johanna: in the multi-millennia-long history of circumcision, I challenge you to find *ONE* guy who willingly had his foreskin sliced off for “a better look and touch”.  *ROLLS EYES*

As for me, I found out during a recent pelvic exam that my cervix is BUTT-UGLY.  That’s why I’m getting a cervixoplasty, PRONTO!

I don’t really believe the author’s comment about discomfort with clothing. It’s really hard to know what’s “big” or “lippy” without photos…but I so don’t want to see any photos. So I’ll assume my “lippy” vagina is less “lippy” than hers. Ugh.

Amelia,

Not sure what made me think of you; the Sarah Palin dress up story or the snippy surgery post?  In any event, looked up your revised profile and see that as predicted - handsome boyfriend is no more.

As proven through the rants of sore butt boy Joe Francis, a girl need not be a lesbian to enjoy the best part of a good girls gone wild together story - no camera needed.

Come by and check out our new website. As you know, I always enjoy a good “visit” with you.

To answer the question:  of course, we would “fix” anything - anywhere - anytime.  The only thing that ever holds these Two Lesbos Goin At It back from a vanity spending spree is the $$$$$$$$$$$$.  We botox, Restylane, Hylaform, laser, snip, cut, tuck with every spare dime when baby don’t need a new pair of shoes or Mommies don’t need a new pair of heels.

Kisses,

One Lesbo
