Anyone been body shamed for protruding labia

[Teaandbiscuitsdaily]

Now I know protruding labia are normal, everyone is unique etc. Have any of you ladies ever had anyone body shame you for it? How do you feel going into a new relationship. I've only had 3 sexual partners (long term relationships) and been on my own for a while now and this is holding me back. 2 previous partners have passed comment, nothing really nasty but made quite clear reference. Some days I think screw it if someone doesn't like it they arnt worth my time and others I realise how much my anxieties control how open I can be with someone

Still see my vulva as an ugly horrible thing even now

I am so sorry you were made to feel like that.

Unless your labia were causing you discomfort (e.g. constantly getting caught up in your gusset) then you shouldn't have felt under any pressure at all.

Every woman's labia are unique to us and all are equally desirable.

My personal preference is for big labia but I certainly appreciate small labia too. I'm really only interested in whether the person in question is enjoying herself!

BTW I was told by a medical professional "Your vulva is exceedingly small" and being in the middle of infertility investigations it was extremely insensitive.

i asked him "So would that affect fertility?"

Him: No

SO WHY THE FUCK MENTION IT BITCH

I was bullied horribly about mine when I was in comprehensive school by my friends (aged 11/12:12). They used to draw images with big flaps. Mine were/are quite visible. I was desperate for surgery, and would still have it in a heartbeat. Am 40 now. I don't shave for this reason.

Have never had a partner say anything, but it did prevent me from having many partners. DH loves it, and does everything to make sure I know that. If we ever separated, I would definitely have surgery as my confidence is so low about it.

Unless they are touching your knees or too big to fit into a pair of pants who cares.
Everyone of the men I've slept with has had a different penis. And not one of those men has passed a comment on how I look in that region. I am insecure about many things but I'm not adding my fucking labia to that list!

Mine are what I'd say are bigger than average (well..definitely according to porn..etc..🙄) no one has made a judgement or if they have if it's been positive but still according to porn if I had the disposable income I'd probably have surgery:(

Hi I have had two sexual partners and the last one made comment about my protruding labia and said it's not normal and that they were put off by them - no longer with him.

His reaction has put me off seeking a another relationship.

Please don't let his insensitive comments put you off have a relationship. By doing this, you are letting him have control over your life, which he doesn't deserve to have. Please keep an open mind for future relationships

I can't speak as someone who would have surgery as I'm happy with mine...don't really have prominent labia at all so can't truly understand how others might feel

There was a programme a few years ago on a young woman who disliked her labia and they followed her through treatment. She told how she had been teased about having a "hanging ham" which I found incredible how people could be so hurtful and judgmental.

She did have surgery and the pain was dreadful with a lot of bleeding. I found it so sad that she had effectively felt she had no choice
