"Have you ever wondered if you look &amp;quot;normal&amp;quot; down there? An OBGYN I know says that it&amp;#x27;s one of the most common questions that women ask her. And when patients ask her if they look normal, here&amp;#x27;s what she says... Lissa Rankin, MD, a gynecologist who runs the web site Owning Pink had this to share on a sensitive topic for a lot of women: &amp;quot;When I was writing my book What&amp;amp;#8217;s Up Down There? and while I&amp;amp;#8217;ve been on the road with my Ask The Girlfriend Gyno book tour, one question comes up over and over and over, in various forms: &amp;#x27;Why do my inner lips hang lower than my outer lips? Why are my labia so long? How come my labia don&amp;amp;#8217;t look like the ones in Playboy? Why do my lips look like Dumbo&amp;amp;#8217;s ears? Why are some women&amp;amp;#8217;s inner lips tucked up neatly inside and mine aren&amp;amp;#8217;t?&amp;#x27; Let me just say once and for all that if you&amp;amp;#8217;re one of those women (or men) who are wondering why some women have short lips tucked up inside and some women have long lips that hang out, EITHER WAY, YOU&amp;amp;#8217;RE NORMAL AND YOU&amp;amp;#8217;RE BEAUTIFUL!&amp;quot; &amp;quot;All vaginas are different and special. In general, though, overweight women tend to have bigger labia majora (outer lips) because the fat pads that live in the labia get bigger if you have more fat. Because labia minora (inner lips) do not contain any fat, their size is unaffected by body weight.&amp;quot; Rankin likes to remind women to &amp;quot;love your petals&amp;quot; (cute, huh?), and she shares a very eye-opening image featuring the diverse labia of dozens of women here, in case you&amp;#x27;re curious!
