Your Bod
It Looks Weird Down There
My vaginal flaps are not smooth and pink, but pinkish-brown. Also, one flap is bigger than the other. I'm embarrassed about changing in the locker room.
Go to the mirror, and check your ears. Lopsided, right? Now, look at your boobs. They are not exact images—lefty might be fuller, righty smaller. Your labia, the petal-like flaps of skin outside your vaginal canal, follow the same rule. One labia is naturally larger. The human body is not perfectly symmetrical—and that’s OK. As for the color of your genital region, variation is the norm as well. Some girls have darker down-there skin, while others sport brown, pink or reddish skin. And in the locker room? Forget it—you’re the only person looking that closely. We guarantee it.
