No Labia Minora

I have seen many, many sites and questions from girls concerned with their inner labia being large. But i am the complete opposite i have looked for a pic of someone whose vagina looks like mine and still have not found one evry pc i see has the inner labia and with me i honestly dont have any. i dont mind how i look but its kinda disturbing that everyone else has them. i have seen some where they are small but mine are none existant. i guess i would lke to know what is the issue with me down there and if anyone can help me from feeling like im deformed cuz i honestly think i am.

every vagina is different just like people look different.i don't think you are deformed and neither are the girls with larger labias.you don't have an issue down there no matter how big,small,or non-existant your labia is.

funny you should mention this because I also have no inner labia, just the outer.  It honestly has never really bothered me and it hasn't bothered any of my sexual partners either.  It hasn't gotten in the way of childbirth or orgasm. Honestly, there is NO NORMAL human body.  We are all very different and unique.  Don't let anyone tell you otherwise and don't let film or magazines dictate how YOU should be.

Hi, I also thought that I was the only one out here missing an inner labia. I still feel like maybe I was born deformed or something. I'm sure it has a purpose for something. -- I never saw anyone else like myself before. I have all the other parts, just not the inner labia part. -- So hun, you are not alone, and now I don't feel so alone. -- also to
wolfwolfiepup- I'm glad to know you exist as well. :)

maybe we should start our own group huh? lol I enjoy people very much and absolutely LOVE the differences in everyone.  What some people may feel is a deformity, I think how unique and different and you never  know what differences can present an opportunity. I absolutely HATE how society had made women feel that we should all look a certain way.  If that were the case what would make any of us special???? With age does come wisdom! We are all the way we were intended to be..be happy with that and if any one wants you to change....leave them behind cause you don't need that sort of person in your life anyway!!!!

We should start our own group. :) lol  -- You are right about things -- Differences can present opportunities. - we all don't have to look alike. - When did you first notice that you didn't have one? I noticed it when I took sex-ed in highschool. - Not that I didn't take a look at myself before that. I just didn't have anything else to compare it with. lol.

As a guy (if you dont mind the opinion from the opposite sex) I find nothing wrong with it, as the contrary I find that more attractive than large labia minora. I had a girlfriend who had no labia minora either (and it was the first time I saw a vagina  like that at the time) and I was very very attracted by that. It looks cleaner and tighter. I hope you are not uncomfortable with this comment. Just thought I should let you know that you shouldnt worry what guys or girls might think about it. They look very cute and not at all deformed.

I had moderate to severe "female problems" since the day I got my period.. After many GYNs and even a stint at Duke University Hospital, FINALLY a new gyn said I had severe dysmenorrhea and endometriosis.  By 25 years of age I had undergone several laparoscopies, D & Cs, and finally a complete/total hysterectomy - and around 7 docs and upwards of 30 medical residents had seen my "flower".  When I became sexually active, it was always super painful but I learned to grin & bear it... All that to say how surprised I was when a boyfriend mentioned my "flower" was missing something! Granted, by that time I was 39 yrs old and he was only the 7th non-medical person to see my flower, but it still shocks me that NONE of the medical personnel or my GYNs over the years ever mentioned I was missing my inner labia - EVER!  I don't know how much knowing that or not having  them affected things like my chronic UTIs started with intercourse, unusual discharge while still a virgin, or intercourse that was so painful that I stopped dating more than 10yrs ago..  But I'm glad to read this comment, even though its several years old it eases some of my old concerns!

Hi there,
I thought I was the only one made this way for a long time. I noticed when I took sex ed that I was different. I have never had a problem with relationships or orgasms but, always felt insecure. It's something about being different than other women that makes it hard but there's no reason to feel bad about your body. We are all made differently. Don't worry about it...really. We should be thankful...women spend thousands of dollars to reduce theirs so they won't show.....Just something to think about!

Thank goodness I am not the only one!  I am 29 years old and actually just found out a couple years ago from my doctor of all people!!  Don't you know the first thing I thought was, "Why am I a freak? Why hasn't any past boyfriends, doctors, or even my current husband told me?"
I guess I never looked at myself or others and had no one to compare against.  I started comparing for sure when I got home!  Thank goodness for internet, because without it, I would continue thinking I was the only one!
So I'm not a freak, and neither is anyone else here.  And thanks to donnie6 for giving us a guy's perspective!

WOW! I am 27 years old and I just realized that I was the different one. I started watching porn...(NOT ALOT) just normal Boyfriend girlfriend porn time and would always wonder what all that extra skin was down there on everygirl. I just thought they were different. I was honestly not until just recently that I started to get a complex about it. I was talk to my girlfriends and they couldnt comprehend why i didnt have inner labia. I think they thought i was joking. I still have a complex to this day. Why am I so different..it has never bothered me until now. I am wondering if this is why I am not stimulated via the clitoris at all. Its so small and hardly there. HELP! I started surffing the internet and couldnt find a single picture of a vagina like mine...that was tough. Then i found this site and thank god I feel much better now!! Thanks amillion!! Katie

I was at a bbq last night with my friends and we got into the topic of labias.  No one believed me when I said I had no inner-labia.  So we went into the garage and I spread the only labias I have - the outer - and they could not believe it...behold - NOOO inner labia...They said that if Barbie had a vagina - it would be like mine.  I consider that a compliment.  I prefer my simple, Barbie vag - over one like sleeve of wizard.  

Personally...I am happy with only outer labia-who needs the extra set?  I mean, I have enough layers in my hair already.  If I ever feel like a need an extra set of labias - then I'll invite one of my friends over and I feel secure.  

It's all good...da 'ill nana or I also go by Barbie-Vag

Wow, it's nice to know I'm not the only one.  I'm 26 years old I've never had any form of labia minora, not even a line or ridge, nothing. I remember learning about the inner labia in sex ed but I they were never really prominent in any of the diagrams and I just assumed it referred to the inner part of the labia majora.  As I started seeing more pictures of real women, I realized that all these women had these things in their vagina that I didn't have.  At first, I thought it was just something women in porn and magazines had (like guys with a big penis).   Then, from talking with my girlfriends, I realized most women have them.  Initially I was really grossed out by labia minora and was thankful that I didn't have it.  But then I started wondering how "normal" I was.  Maybe I should have them.  I've talked with my husband about this and he says he likes my vagina and prefers that I have no labia minora.  

For whatever reason, I was thinking about it today and I thought I'd come online and see how common it is and if there's any information out there for women like me.  I was so happy to find this page.  It's funny that other women say that people don't believe them when they say they have NO labia minora, because the same thing has happened to me.  I'm just not brave enough to show people and prove it to them.  The only people I've been brave enough to prove it to is boyfriends.  :-)  I was hoping that if I Googled it, I'd be able to find a picture of a vagina like mine.  I didn't find that but I'm glad to find this forum.  Nice to know that there are others of "us" out there!

PLEASE give yourself a pat on the back! :)
How I wish I'd seen this question and as many responses when I was growing up! I remember seeing a question like this once,but you've described this sort of shape perfectly. I too thought I was the only one,but now as we've seen it is NOT rare but normal.
I've functioned normally throughout my life in EVERY single way.
Will I be breathing easy tonight? You bet!

I was too born without inner labia, but honestly didn't even realize it until my 20's with more exposure to porn.  After having kids I developed a "ridge line" that's a slightly darker pink, but that's it.  I have wondered if I am missing out on some sensation during oral sex/fingering since there is "more there" to push the clitoris around for women with inner labia. I respond and orgasm much better to the indirect pressure of sex or being touched through clothing.

im 17. and the first time i watched a porno i was 16 and with my bf and i was so terrified because mine didnt look like theirs. i thought i was the only one. but then not to long ago i found out that my mom AND my grandma also have no inner labia. it such a relief to know that there are others out there like me. i dont feel so deformed now. it makes me feel so much better to know that im not the only out there with a "weird" vagina. but my boyfriend says its a lot prettier this way and doesnt look like a "sea urchin" which i think ALL of us should take as a compliment because we already get snide remarks about smelling like fish we dont have to look like a sea creature either!

while i was growing up, have always noticed something was different about mine but i wasn't sure and it didn't bother about it until couple of days ago when i was having a discussion about female circumsision and the whole labia and clitoris incision. so i decided to go on the internet, i even started to watch porns just to see how others looks like...and i realized no one is like me, everybody have that pink flabby meat and mine is just a big labia (majora). i began to feel sorry for myself because i am so different from the rest, but thankfully i came across this page and hearing others who are like me shared their stories definetely shed off the weight on my shoulder, i can now sleep peacefully tonight.

Yup, I don't have inner labia either. Well, just a teeny tiny folded hood over my clit, that's it. No bloke I've been with has ever been remotely bothered by this, and it all works beautifully. I think it's just wonderful how many different kinds of human body there are out there. We're fed images of bodies that all look identical, that there's only one kind of perfect, plasticised beauty. But when it comes to genitals there's no hiding our differences. What a fantastic thing it is to be different.

Oh my god! I HAVE to add to this site. EVERYTHING you girls have been saying is EXACTLY ME! I have absolutely no inner labia either and have ALWAYS wondered what the bleep is wrong with me?! All girls in porn have it and I don't! I would ALSO talk to my friends about it and they thought I was nuts. They thought I just didn't KNOW I had one and don't know what my own vagina looks like.
I did think there was something wrong with me though. We really should start a group. Man this website makes me so happy. For years I've wondered about my vagina. My boyfriend doesn't watch porn so he couldn't tell me if my vagina is normal or not, but he doesn't care. He says he likes it although he is curious as to what "normal" vaginas look like.
But yeah... yay! I'm so happy :)
I love you all. We rock :P :)

OKAY, JUST TO CLEAR THINGS UP..LOL, NOW.. FOR ALL THE WOMEN IN THIS POST FORUM OR GROUP, I JUST HAVE TO SAY, EVERY WOMEN IS DIFFERENT, BIG OR SMALL, SAME THING WITH MEN.. WE ARE CREATED THE SAME, BUT WE ARE DIFFERENT IN EVERY WAY AS FAR AS THE BODY, AND GENTIAL FUNCTION IS THE SAME WITH THE DIFFERENT SIZES, SO TO SAY, THAT YOUR NORMAL AND SOMEONE WITH BIGGER LABIA MINORA, DOESN'T JUSTIFY EVERYTHING, .. THE ARE MEN THAT LOVE WOMEN WITH BIG ONES, AND THINK WOMEN WITH NO OR SMALL LABIA MINORA IS UNATTRACTIVE AND THEY ARE MEN THAT REALLY DONT CARE, BUT IT COMES DOWN TO THIS, I TALKED TO ALOT OF MEN AND ALOT OF WOMEN, AND MOST MEN HAVE MYTHS ABOUT WOMEN SIZES AND MOST WOMEN DONT EVEN KNOW THEIR OWN VAGINAS, I GUESS SOME RESEARCH WOULD HELP.. NOW, FIRST OF ALL, WHEN A WOMAN GOES THRU PUBERTY, THATS WHEN THE CHANGE OCCURS, YOU ARE NOT BORN WITH SMALL OR WITH BIG LABIA MINORA, IT FORMS DURING YOUR PUBERTY STAGE, SAME WITH YOUR BREASTS, YOU ARE NOT BORN WITH ONES, BUT PUBERTY IS THE STAGE WHEN YOU BECOMING AN ADULT, NOW MOST WOMEN ARE DEVELOPED MORE AND LESS IN THE BREAST AND VAGINAL REGIONS AND THATS THE SAME TIME YOUR PUBIC HAIR STARTS APPEARING, SO SECOND, YOUNGER AND OLDER MEN HAVE A DIFFERENT VIEWPOINT OF VAGINAS AND WHAT THEY LIKE... ON MOST OCCASSION, MEN THAT LOVE TO GIVE, WILL LOVE A BIGGER LABIA MINORA, AND A MAN THAT REALLY DOESNT, WILL PREFER SOMETHING SMALLER, AND THE OTHER PERCENTAGE DONT REALLY CARE, BECAUSE SEX FOR THEM ISNT AS IMPORTANT. SO ITS ALL DEPENDING ON WHAT THE MEN LIKES, BUT AS FOR YOU LADIES, EVERYONE WOMEN IS DIFFERENT, AND ITS NORMAL, WHATEVER SIZE, JUST KNOW THIS, A WOMEN WITH A FULLY DEVELOPED VAGINA, HAS A LARGE INNER MINORA AND A LARGE CLITORIS, AND USUALLY THAT COMES WITH A WOMAN HAVING LARGER THAN AVERAGE ERECTED NIPPLES THAT STICK OUT MORE THAN YOUR USUAL BUNCH, BUT ON SOME OCCASION NO, I HOPE I DIDNT OFFENDED ANYONE IN THIS GROUP, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION, JUST WRITE ME OR POST SOMETHING FOR ME, AND I WILL RESPOND.

This made my night! I also do not have an inner labia and it has driven me INSANE for so long now. I have an issue with it and I seriously thought I was the only one..or darn close to it. I've NEVER seen another vagina like mine. I'm so glad =)

You definately aren't alone. I dont have them either...I actually like it that way because they look kinda gross in my opinion. The only thing that goes against that is the fact that I think oral would be more pleasurable with them... but I don't know that for a fact. It may possibly be genetic because my mother and sister don't have them either. I think mine is beautiful how it is and you should too!
