The female private part varies from woman to woman. Whether or not yours is similar to someone else's does not mean it is abnormal. Here are 7 Types of Vaginas and Why Yours is Totally Normal:
1. ASYMMETRICAL LABIA: Your vagina may have asymmetrical lips, meaning that one of your labia is larger or smaller than the other. This is incredibly normal and nothing to be concerned about. "Think about how one of your eyes is usually smaller than the other; the small concept applies to the vagina," says Ross.
2. SMALL LABIA: You might notice that one of your labia is tucked into the vulva or outer vaginal lips, which are larger and cover your labia minora.
3. BIG OUTER AND INNER LABIA: You may have labia that are too large or puffier in size. It's normal to have your labia go past your vulva and stick out. You might find that your underwear, like thongs, don't offer the kind of support you need.
4. OUTER LABIA STICK OUT MORE: You may have outer labia lips that are small or shorter, which show your labia minora and majora more.
5. INNER LABIA STICK OUT MORE: You may have a vagina where your inner labia stick out more or are longer.
6. BIG OR SMALL CLITORIS: Your clitoris might be larger or more sensitive. According to Planned Parenthood, clitoris can range from the "size of a small pea to the size of your thumb."
7. A VAGINA THAT ISN'T PINK: Depending on a number of factors, you may also find that your vagina varies in color. Not all vaginas are pink; some are brown or redder. It's not abnormal to see discoloration in the skin surrounding your vagina either. However, bright red skin or a rash could indicate there's something amiss, like a yeast infection.
