Types of vaginas: What are the different shapes, and sizes of vulva? 0 224

CONTRARY to popular belief, the most common vulva and vagina is not a neat Barbie-like package with everything tucked in.

Every woman looks different down below and that is completely normal.

1) What are the different types of vagina?

There are a range of shapes that waxing professional Mel, who is keeping her surname anonymous to protect her clients, witnessed.

Her categories don’t just focus on the vagina, but the outer region as a whole, which includes the labia majora (the outer lips) and the labia minora (the inner lips).

She has named the five Ms. Curtains, Ms. Barbie, Ms. Tulip, Ms. Horseshoe and Ms. Puffs.

Ms. Curtains

The most common shape she saw is the Ms. Curtains shape, which is when the labia minora peek out from in between the labia majora.

While many people think that everything tucked in is common, this frequently-seen package may not be entirely symmetrical.

Mel said: “Your vagina is perfect. It’s just like a curtain. You wouldn’t hate your house if it had ugly curtains.”

Ms. Barbie

Kylah Benes-Trapp Many people think the labia minora (the inner lips) being fully tucked inside the labia majora (the outer lips) is the most common shape on a woman, but it’s actually very rare[/caption]

In contrast, the rarest shape was a type she has named Ms. Barbie, where the labia minora are completely concealed from view inside the labia majora.

Despite it being the type she saw least frequently during her career, Mel said that many people think that this is what a classic, normal vagina looks like.

Many celebrities have spoken out about getting designer vaginas, which have everything tucked in.

Ms. Tulip

Another common shape she witnessed was Ms. Tulip, which was named as the labia minora resemble a tulip about to bloom.

Women with the Ms. Tulip shape have a labia minora which is slightly visible between the labia majora.

It is a more tucked-in version of Ms. Curtains.

Ms. Horseshoe

Meanwhile, clients with the Ms. Horseshoe have a vagina opening that looks wider at the top.

This means that the labia minora is slightly revealed and may be seen.

Ms. Horseshoe has a labia majora that closes at the bottom, resembling the shape of a horseshoe.

Ms. Puffs.

Finally, Ms. Puffs is similar to Ms. Barbie but with the lips of the vagina sitting lower on the pubic bone.

As the name suggests, the surrounding area may be slightly more protruding.

The labia minora is tucked away in this style.

As well as revealing the different shapes of women’s privates, Mel also shared that the way the lips hang is not affected by weight or the age.

Speaking to Elite Daily, she said: “This is just to help women understand this weird ‘secret’ [the appearance of our vaginas] we keep from our friends and society at large is not as scandalous or peculiar as we may have thought.

“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.”

2) Is my vagina normal?

Dr Shree Datta told Fabulous that each vulva and vagina is unique. 

She said: “As a Gynaecologist, I see a range of different shapes and sizes of vulvas and vaginas, as well as skin type, texture, colour and smells. 

“The inner and outer folds of your vulva and the clitoral hood can also vary in colour, symmetry and size, along with the amount of hair you have in your bikini area. 

“There is massive amount of natural variation which is usually perfectly normal – as long as you have no problems changing tampons, your underwear or having sex. 

“Events such as childbirth also have an effect on the shape and symmetry of our vulvas and vaginas, so it’s important to remember that there’s no “one size that fits all”.”

3) Can I change the shape of my vagina?

Dr Shree added: “Events such as childbirth can affect the shape and size of your vulva. 

“In some cases, your vulva and vagina can also change with age or significant weight changes. 

“There’s very little you can do to change the shape of your vulva/vagina, but if you are experiencing problems such as dryness, chafing, excess skin catching on underwear causing pain, you may be referred for labiaplasty surgery, but it’s important to remember that you may experience long term pain, scarring or asymmetry as a result, so it’s worth thinking about carefully with your Gynaecologist.”

Supporting Ukraine Through Purchasing Power: The Initiatives Keeping the Country’s Economy Afloat 0 173

Amidst the Russian invasion, Ukrainian creatives are launching initiatives to keep the country’s economy going by harnessing consumer power. Spend With Ukraine is one such online resource that connects consumers to Ukraine-based businesses across various industries, while the Ukrainian Emergency Art Fund allows for donations to support artists. Co-founder of Spend With Ukraine, Andrey Klen, emphasizes the importance of supporting the Ukrainian economy through purchasing decisions. He states, “Armies win battles, but economies win wars.”

Ukrainian brands are still operating and many are donating a portion of their sales to different needs to support the country. To sustain interest in supporting Ukraine through spending, increasing the visibility of these initiatives is key. As Klen says, “We want it to blow out.” These efforts not only help Ukrainian creatives but also support existing industries and provide a sense of normality in these difficult times.

Ensuring Safety and Consent in the Adult Film Industry: A Vital Discussion 0 259

One topic that may be of interest to readers in the adult film industry is the topic of workplace safety and consent.

The adult film industry, like any other industry, has a responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of its workers. This includes providing a safe working environment, protecting workers from physical and emotional harm, and ensuring that all acts are consensual. However, the nature of the adult film industry can make it difficult to ensure that these standards are met. Actors and actresses may feel pressure to perform acts that they are not comfortable with, and there have been instances of abuse and exploitation in the industry.

To address these issues, it is essential for the industry to have clear guidelines and policies in place to protect the rights and safety of workers. This includes providing education and resources for performers, implementing strict consent protocols, and holding producers and directors accountable for ensuring a safe working environment.

Another important aspect of this topic is the importance of consent in adult film. Consent is a crucial aspect of any sexual encounter and must be obtained freely, enthusiastically, and without coercion. In the adult film industry, where performers are engaging in sexual acts on camera, it is especially important that consent is explicitly obtained and respected. This can be achieved through the use of consent forms and communication between performers before and during filming.

By discussing these topics, the industry can work towards creating a safer and more respectful environment for all performers and ensure that the rights and well-being of workers are protected.
