Fat mons public area :( is this common

[sunandmoonBE]

Hi everyone.

I have become very concious of my mons pubic area as I have a tummy pouch after having my son and now my mons pubic makes me really insecure and dislike my body. Is it common in women? How do I get rid of it? My partner pulled it up tonight and it felt just how it should, there's no quick fix but I want my confidence back down there.

Yes it's common. Often called a FUPA! Some people love it, if that helps?

I'm a bit confused as to what it is... can you explain it more?

FUPA - Oh god something else to feel shit about

Oh my - yes let's fuck that off and not worry about it.

I’m still not sure what this is, is it loose skin that hangs over a woman’s c-section scar?

Google is your friend.

I thought it was the bit above the vulva (where pubic bone is) but OP said her husband pulled it up?

I think we need a diagram 😕

(Not me or my photo, just fyi )

I think it's normal for the mons pubis (pubic mound) to be bigger as you get older especially after children. Gravity is not our friend!

There's no easy fix. Weight loss might help but only surgery will tighten loose skin.

Why have you become self-conscious about it now? You have a normal, healthy body which made a beautiful child. Be proud of it and all its imperfections!

Your description of being able to "pull it up" suggests you mean the FUPA (see pic above), sometimes also called an "apron" - raised flap or roll of skin/fat. It's normal for this area to be increased following childbirth as pregnancy can affect it.

The mons pubis is a different area. It's the slightly rounded V shape at the front of your external genitalia.

Also known as a "gunt".

Although I'd question the sanity of anyone who'd refer to parts of themselves with that word. The horror!

I've had this since my teens, I've always needed to "pull it up" to enjoy oral. (and I've been every size from 8 to 26. Currently 10-12) please don't be embarrassed, it's part of your body and therefore beautiful

If its any help I have to pull mine up to get more pleasure too!! Just another delightful thing babies do to our bodies
