Collectively, this region is called the vulva. Checking out your vulva while you learn about all of its different parts can help you become more familiar with your anatomy-and there’s a lot to learn.Īs the term implies, the external female anatomy includes the genitals that are outside the body. The deeper understanding of how the two are connected will lead to a fuller, more rewarding life. Here at Lunette, we believe that everybody should take the time to get to know themselves and their body. Feel free to grab a mirror as you read this A normal vulva is a healthy vulva, not one that looks a certain way. Some people have labia that hang down, some have clitorises that are barely visible (but still powerfully pleasurable), some have a mix of brown and pink skin.you get the picture. The truth is that vulvas (and vaginas) come in a range of shapes, sizes, and colors and each one is unique.
For some people, the only info they get about what vulvas look like is from porn, which can give a very disillusioned sense of what's normal. Research has shown that 50% of women worry about whether their vulva looks “normal”, 20% of women don't know what it's supposed to look like, but 1 in every 7 women has considered getting plastic surgery on it.Īnd it’s no wonder - the female anatomy is glossed over in sexual education and rarely mentioned again once you're out of school. But it’s your body and knowing what your anatomy looks like - and what it’s supposed to look like - is an important part of staying in charge of your reproductive health. This is true in the sense that you have complete control over who or what you allow down there. But that’s only because many of us where taught that our vulvas (note: your vulva is the external part of the female genitals, your vagina is the internal canal) are “private” areas. Real talk, looking at yourself while squatting over a mirror can feel weird. If you knew more about your body, and had better, more credible information about period care products, you might be able to make more informed choices. When was the last time you looked at your vagina? Like, really looked at it? If you’re like most people, chances are high that your answer is not recently - or not ever.
