Not sure if your comment was in general or to someone or me specifically, but I assure you no one has ever told me mine need attention other than myself. I think sex would be more comfortable and enjoyable if mine were somewhat altered. That's the reason for my inquiry.

That's so fascinating and I agree, beautiful. Indeed we are all different, and nothing wrong with that. I don't want to look like a porn star. I just think physically sex would be even more enjoyable for me if mine were altered.

I like mine the way it is.

I understand some women have this surgery because their natural shape causes them pain with clothing or during sex in which case it's perfectly understandable. I think having a labiaplasty simply to try to get "the ideal" isn't a very good idea though.

Welcome to the OC, the land of plastic. i can't wait to move out of here, and Cali as a whole, someday, and I've lived here all my life.

I find most doctors around here to be rather scatterbrained, too.

Sorry it's so uncomfortable! That would really stink.

Good for you!

*hugs* Do what makes you happy. If you don't like something about your body it is your choice to modify it to suit your personal aesthetics. My views are a bit different though because I'm heavily in to body modification (piercings, tattoos, and the like).

Either way I wish you luck and if you can afford the surgery go for it. You don't owe anyone an explanation.

Is it possible you can get it covered by insurance due to causing you discomfort? You can play it up and say it is painful, that might make them more lenient to cover you for it if you have insurance. Best of luck

LOOOOOve this art

I replied twice to this -_- i pretty much said this the first post; ignore this one.

What the fuck kind of doctor were you seeing??!!! No doctor should ever tell a patient that. Its extremely unprofessional and just not true. There is not such thing as an ugly vulva, they are all beautiful in different ways. One of my labia is also much longer then the other and I like it. I've always loved the little asymmetries that make me unique. I'm sorry your doctors were such assholes. Kudos for loving your beautiful body regardless of anyone else's opinion.

I would normally go into my huge rant about labiaplasty and how I read this article a year ago where a few surgeons were quoted saying things about how they simply tell the women their labia is too large and "unsightly" and BAM! they make --- dollars. I don't remember the actual quote or the actual amount of money they said, but whatever. It made my stomach turn to read that. It's awful and all it is is another thing to target women with, make them feel less than, not good enough and abnormal just to make a few bucks. For that reason alone, I wouldn't get labiaplasty. Some days I hate my labia. I've never thought it was pretty, but I'm not going to have it cut off just because I feel like it's not beautiful. If it was causing discomfort or problems then I could understand a woman having something done about it. However, when God made the labia, it wasn't a mistake so I hate that doctors and other people try to make women feel like having labia that are noticeable makes your body "wrong." I try to like mine, but one side really bugs me. It tends to get smushed in my jeans and cause pain and definitely is painful during intercourse, but I'm keeping it. It's so risky to have labiaplasty. I can work with loose jeans and extra lube to prevent pain/discomfort. I can't deal with having permanant damage to my cooter just because I wanted it to be pretty. I certainly wouldn't have it done because of a partner! That really upsets me, when men expect a woman to go through surgery to permanantly change their ALREADY BEAUTIFUL bodies just because they don't like it. I hate it for any woman who has been made to feel that way.

OK. Sorry, I'm a little crazy today. Lol. So no, I would not have labiaplasty unless it was necessary for some reason.
