The following question recently came up within our TikTok community: “I have a large inner labia that is really long – is that bad?”
Let's think for a moment... Nope . Quite the opposite!
So if you notice that you have rather large inner labia the next time you check your pussy, it's easy.
Luckily, down there, EVERY shape is normal!
Summary
Vulvas come in all different shapes - Every shape is normal.
Outer labia do not have to completely cover the inner labia; this is rarely the reality.

1. Large inner labia - don't panic!
It is not uncommon for us to critically examine every inch of our body .
The vagina in particular gets rid of a lot of its fat.
But let me tell you one thing: labia do NOT have a standard size , but vary greatly from woman to woman. And that's a damn good thing!
If all pussies looked the same, sex life would be pretty boring. Unfortunately, young girls in the middle of puberty just can't get their heads around that. But that's no surprise - the media and porn are constantly presenting us with a false "ideal image" .
For example, have you ever heard of the so-called "clean slit"? Right? Great. Because that's also complete nonsense. This term refers to inner labia that are so small that they are completely covered by the outer labia, leaving only a slit visible. We ask ourselves: is that even possible?
2. Normally beautiful vulva?
Even though the inner labia are clearly visible and may protrude, your most beautiful lips will not be considered abnormal or repulsive by decent people. Chin-chin!
In fact , large inner labia are not that rare .
Even if the porn industry would like to tell us this - not with us! Your vagina is awesome and looks phenomenal in every situation.
Did you know that asymmetry in the labia is quite common ? Only very few women have them exactly the same - just like their breasts.
No matter whether they are big or small ... as soon as your labia cause problems in your underwear or, in the worst case, even become completely chafed, you should see your doctor. Of course, you are also welcome to ask us for advice.
Generally speaking, large inner labia are absolutely no problem and are really no reason to be seriously concerned . Nevertheless, Down Under, proper hygiene is a must.
3. Important functions
The outer labia majora , also called labia majora, are the outer folds of skin that surround the vaginal entrance. They can vary in size, shape and color and are often covered with pubic hair.
The inner labia , or labia minora, are the more delicate and fine folds of skin that surround the inner areas of the vagina. They too can vary in size and shape.
The labia fulfill important functions . They protect the inner areas of the vagina by protecting them from irritation, injury and infection. In addition - also a very important function - they are of course also part of sexual arousal and can be a source of orgasmic pleasure and joy.
4. Self-esteem and acceptance
It's normal to have insecurities or self-doubts about your physical appearance, including your labia. The pressure you feel within society to be special in some way, especially beautiful, especially slim, especially blah - can play tricks on your self-esteem.
The first step to self-acceptance is realizing that our bodies are unique and that it's okay to be different. Realize that beauty is not about a certain shape or size, but about self-love, self-acceptance, and feeling comfortable and confident in your body.
So be proud of your inner and outer labia and consider them a unique part of who you are.
Are my labia too big?
The size and shape of the labia can vary from person to person and is unique. There is no set standard or definition for what is considered "too big" or "too small." The outer labia (labia majora) and the inner labia (labia minora) can be different sizes and shapes.
Do my labia influence my sexuality?
It is important to be aware that the size or shape of the labia has no impact on sexual functionality or pleasure. Most sexual partners are much more interested in the intimacy and emotional aspect of the sexual relationship than in the external appearance. Communication, trust and respect in relationships are crucial for a fulfilling sex life.
What functions do labia have?
The outer labia (labia majora) serve as protection for the more sensitive internal sexual organs. They cover and enclose the clitoris, the urethral opening and the vaginal opening and thus provide a natural barrier against external influences. Moisture and lubrication: The inner labia (labia minora) help keep the vaginal entrance moist. They contain numerous glands that help moisten the vagina and provide lubricant, which is important for a pleasant sexual experience.
