Large female pubic bone.

This was a comment I found and I HAVE EXACTLY THE SAME THING! I need to know how I can correct this! You have no idea the suffering we go through on a day to day basis looking like you have a male part instead of a female anatomy. I don't feel like a complete woman. I cannot wear sexy underwear and don't get me started on what wearing a swimsuit feels like or anything that's tight, so I'm always wearing things that are baggy and I'm soooooooooooooo tired of it. My Gynecologist says it normal, WHAT????????????!!!!!!!!! It's not normal for a female to have a LARGE bone sticking out! Believe me, you would not want to be me....
There has to be a surgical proceedure to reduce the bone there, so we can feel like women again.
See below...




when i started discovering my body as a young girl, i realized something different from everyone elses. my vagina looks really bony. when i lay down flat, my pelvic bone is protruding out. even standing up, i can see a big bump. more than normal from what i have seen. i have been told by friends "oh you have big vagina" and it really bothers me. i am embarrassed to be intimate. i did research but didnt come across anything. i'm 25 now and am still embarrassed to go to a doctor. i dont know what the problem really is. i used to crack my lower back, i dont know if that would do anything to it? but i dont feel any pain or anything. just physically, its very different, bony, and embarrassing from what i see. i've been told by several family members " are you wearing a pad" because its that noticeable. i know that if it was from birth, my mom would notice. because now they tell me things like you have fat, big, vagina. i really need to do something about it, but need to know what? and need to know what the problem really is and what may have caused it? and what kind of doctor i should see. and how i should explain it. please answer my questions asap. i cant take it anymore, and i find it embarrassing to share it w/ anyone else.

I have heard of this problem and I believe there is plastic surgery for it.  You might want to post on the doctors forum.  It will cost you but they might know more about this issue than  the regular uneducated person.  Don't stop searching for an answer or solution.  I'm sure there is one!!!!

[monkeyflower]

It is indeed perfectly normal. Mine's like this too :-) Pelvises come in all shapes and sizes. You just have a prominent pubic bone, is all. But if you're overweight, you can also develop a pretty big pad of fat that will make it look more prominent.

I don't know what's up with your family or friends, though. I can't imagine anyone saying you have a "big fat vagina" (apparently they don't have any understanding of female anatomy), or asking whether you're wearing a pad. Seems weird. Or are you maybe projecting your own feelings about your body?

[irreversible]

I have the same problem, and I agree, it's awful and embarrassing.I haven't talked with anyone about this, I guess, no one knows, since I try to hide it..
But I can't any longer. I'm sick of boys dumping me because I can't take the courage and have a sexual relationship... I'm sick of choosing carefully clothing, I'm sick of being unable to wear what normal women do! I'm sick of looking myself at the mirror - I'm really thin, but this enormous thing is all I see.

I do not want to sound pessimistic, but what can be done? As far as I have read, this bone helps for keeping one's balance. So it cannot be removed. Seriously, is there something that can be done?!

[mayflowers]

Is it an actual bone or is it tissue?  If it's tissue, I would like to think that it could be easily removed.  The bone would be harder to remove, they would have to break it and then do some plastic surgery, but there must be some plastic surgery doctor that will do this for women.  I've seen them reconstruct faces on tv by breaking bones, removing them, placing them elsewhere, etc.

Why don't you try calling or contacting some plastic surgeons around the US at major surgery centers (Mayo clinic comes to mind) and see if they can do the surgery?  Maybe even contact the medical channel on tv, they are always performing uncommon surgeries or even common surgeries but in a new way.  

Don't lose hope either of you!!  If you want this bad enough, you will find a way to get it done!!!!

[irreversible]

Because I am not from the US... I am from a small Eastern European country with awful medical service... I simply cannot imagine getting this done here. And one more reason, I guess it will cost pretty much; not only the operation, but also the tickets and all the documents and hotels and etc.
I guess I just have to put money aside and postpone this.
And yes, it is a bone, I am sure about this. By the way, I don't know if this is connected, but I also noticed that the bones around my knee (the cap, I suppose?!) are jutting out, too; also my ribs. But I don't care at all about them, all I want is, as Anne has written above, is to feel like a woman

[mayflowers]

I would say that there is a connection between this bone and bones on the rest of your body, still I do believe that there must be some operation to help you in this area.  I have heard that a lot of people are going to India for surgery because they are cheaper but also because the do a great job!  Even in the US, and even with insurance, people are going to India.  I am not sure if this is a better option for you or not, but something to keep in mind.  I truly hope it all works out for both you and Anne.  I'll be praying for you both...

[monkeyflower]

After re-reading your post, I'm a little worried about an eating disorder. The fact that you're really thin and all your bones stick out might just be because you ARE really thin... everyone's hips and pubic bone and ribs and knees are gonna seem huge when there's no fat to even things out. And you have the mindset common to eating disorders. Just a thought. I'm really concerned about you. I hope that you can get the help you need.

[monkeyflower]

"I'm sick of boys dumping me because I can't take the courage and have a sexual relationship... I'm sick of choosing carefully clothing, I'm sick of being unable to wear what normal women do! I'm sick of looking myself at the mirror - I'm really thin, but this enormous thing is all I see."

But don't you see, it's not your "enormous" pubic bone that's driving people away--it's your feelings about it. You're not even giving anyone a chance, because you're too insecure about your body to let anyone else even get near you. You've already judged yourself so harshly, you can't see how anyone else might see you differently.

But the truth is, no one is perfect, and no one has a perfect body. I bet a million dollars that even if you miraculously found some quack to do this "surgery" (which would be an unbelievably bad idea--no real doctor is going to agree to break your pelvis), you'd immediately find something else that's 'wrong'.

That's because the problem isn't in your body, it's in your head. It's how you see yourself that's all messed up. You don't have to sit around feeling bad about yourself, pushing people away, making yourself miserable. Make an appointment with a therapist. When you feel this bad about yourself, it's probably going to feel scary and really hard to open up to someone else. But honestly, give it a chance. Just talking about it will help. You are perfect and lovable just as you are. Therapy can help you see that for yourself.

[Anne1971]

I'm so glad to know there are other girls out there with this same problem.
Listen, I am thin too; 5' 7" and my weight is 136. I do not have an eating disorder like someone else suggested.
Until you walk a mile in our shoes, you just don't know how it feels to have a large pubic bone. Finding pants, shorts, skirts, that will hide this is extremely difficult and womens clothing was NOT MADE FOR A LARGE PUBIC BONE!!! This is not the norm for a woman. Like I said, womens clothing, swimsuits, panties, etc are not made to accomodate a woman with a large pubic bone.
When I was growing up, I was made fun of-like kids would say, "you have a buldge" or "what's up with the buldge in your pants" or "you used to be a guy right?". Of course this effects your self esteem. But what do you go to a doctor and say? "Hey doc, I've got this large pubic bone and it's making me insecure-here take a look!" Yeah right....
If there was a surgery to reduce the size, life would be so much easier.

[irreversible]

I too don't have an eating disorder, I'm quite sure about this. My weight is 45 kg (sorry I don't know how to converge this) and I am 157 cm (don't know how to converge this, too).
But I don't think I have this *problem* out of thinness. If it was so, what about all the skinny models then? What about anorexic people? (I really have never heard or seen another girl with a problem like mine. Here I read for the first time about someone with the same complaint!)
I guess it's all about bone structure - as someone had said above, pelvises come in all shapes and sizes. Unfortunately.
I know that I probably take this flaw more serious than an unknown observer would. I know it probably seems more awful in my eyes than it actually is. But it's not simply a familiar little defect - if it was so, if it was common, I wouldn't be so scared! But this is something entirely unconceivable, I guess. It's extraordinary and new and rare, and has never been mentioned... If I was worried about my breasts, for example, well, this is the kind of things therapy can help about. Do you see what I mean?! I am scared enough to have found something so strangely peculiar about my body. And everyone I show it to would be equally scared!
I try to hide this... to choose careful my clothes... I guess no one have noticed it... Just once, in my early teenage years, when I didn't know that this is something wrong yet - I was with a guy, we weren't doing anything, just laying on the ground, too shy to make out  - at a point, he lay over me, perfectly calm and still... and he said "you know, something is hurting me". You just can't imagine how I feel since then. And this is just an example of being physically close to someone. Imagine what would the guy have said if we were making love?!
Sorry about the long post... and about my English, too

[scifi72]

I finally decided to Google my "protruding pelvic bone" and found these posts.  I've had this all my life - it's definately a bone and I'm 5'10, 180lbs so I don't have an eating disorder.  It's very embarrasing...as the others said, I can't wear many items of clothing...including most of the pant styles popular today (flat fronts) which would otherwise be ideal for my body.  Monkeyflower is focusing on our mental health - why is it so hard to believe we might actually have an "abnormal" pubic bone?  Although, and I dont understand this, my gyno says "all" women have that...which is total BS!  Not to sound like a perv, but I've seen tons of naked women and I've NEVER seen anyone with this.  Even going to a waterpark and seeing all different types of women in their bathing suits...even fat women look normal in that area.  I feel like a mutant.  I have a child so I know that everything is in working order, but there are times when it's briefly crossed my mind that I was a hermaphodite or something at birth and was "picked" to be a girl.  But I know that's only because I want to rationalize why I would have this horrible protrusion.  Anyway, you girls haven't posted for a while, I hope you read this because I want to know if you've learned anything else since June???? At the very least, it's nice to know I'm not alone.
Thanks for being there!

[chrply]

  I'am a 58 year old male, i have been with more than my share of woman in my life, I had a 5 year relationship with one woman with a protruding pubic bone, i mean it was as big as my fist folded up. The first time i saw it i was kind of shocked but oddly aroused because it wasn't your every day L@@K  after several weeks into our relationship i grew to really like it as it gave me and her advantages that you wouldn't have otherwise, it also helped her to reach orgasam faster. if you learn how to use it to your advantage. I talked about it to some of my buddies and they all agreed that it is indeed a very exciting atribute. anyway do not consider your selves freaks but consider yourselves one of the very few lucky ones. PS, i don't miss my ex-girlfriend but i sure miss that love making.

[DrDrizzle]

I have the same problem. I have noticed it scince i turned 10. My mom asked me " whats that?" i didnt know what she was atlkign about until i looked down and ever scince i have been embarrsed. I know that most of it is bone but some of it is fat (the mons pubis) covering the pubic bone. I have been searching high and low to try to find a solution. I have found soem sights that may help and ill list them at the end. It is interfering with my social life. I cant were and bikinis or sexy cloths becuase of it. Im still looking for the best options for treatment and prices. I dont think i can ever be intimate until this thing is removed. But the girl is right up there, dont give up trying to find a solution. We all need to stick together and try to help each other out:)

[LexiconDul]

I know self-image is important and all, but speaking as (what I assume is) a normal male, I myself am absolutely incredibly attracted to a prominent "mont de Vénus."  And I definitely agree with chrply as far as making love to a woman with such a think.  I don't want to get all pervy with descriptions and stuff, but wow... I wish none of you ladies would think there's anything wrong with you, or with wearing clothes that do nothing to conceal this attribute.

[Dr.D (not a real docter)]

BREAK THROUGH!!!!
I found something that may be the cuase of this defect, check this out:

What is the reason for protrusion of the pubic bone?  
  
  
Q. I have a prominence of the bone which is below the stomach and above the thighs The bone is outwards (not flat) and is apparent if I wear skirts. Why is it like that and what can be done ? Is this the reason why I get back pain?

A. The bone that you are referring to is called pubic bone and this should normally be flat and not prominent. The important causes of this bone coming forward are any swelling inside the bone, deformity of spine or deformity of hip joint. All these three things have to be checked by examination and if necessary by X-ray. The same deformity can also be present because of vitamin-D deficiency in childhood and evidence of this will also be seen on X-ray. I advise you to consult an orthopaedic surgeon for examination and proper diagnosis of your condition.

you should check this out with your doctor... It might be serius :)

[irreversible]

Hey :) I’m so glad to see the discussion ‘revived’…
And I want to ask something I didn’t have the courage to ask last time: do any of you girls feel pain? Because sometimes I do. And I totally freak out! I don’t know why but I’m pretty sure it comes from ‘there’, you see, like this awful thing is growing even more and more, that’s how I feel it, hurting and even more protruding… At one point I even thought I have a cancer :)
Oh and about growing again. Well… I have the strangest feeling that this bone used to be smaller. Or perhaps I was smaller during puberty, I don’t know

[keight]

im 15 and have the same problem and i noticed about a year ago. I wanted to know if it will get bigger as i get older?

[imagirl]

The first time i realised i had a protruding pubic bone was when i was at the gym with a friend and we were doing the "superman bone" and it hurt my vagina so much, because the bone there was so large and digging into the floor. It sucks buying pants, and i definately cannot wear leggings without a long top. But i still feel like a woman!!my breasts and my hips make me feel like a woman. i would NEVER consider plastic surgery, i think its just how you perceive it. If people bring it up then f**k them, they're not worth it. It still works! theres nothing wrong with it!

I get conscious about sexual contact, but i think whatever..... a p*ssy is a p*ssy, he isnt gunna complain because hes getting some!

Just chill with it. Everyone has their flaws

[qihote]

I've always adored women with prominent pubic mounds - I'm fortunate that both my late first wife and my second wife had/have a lovely bulge when they're lying down. The most sexually exciting girlfriends I have had (apart from the ones I married) also had pretty pubic mounds, and I have spent a lot of money on underwear that accentuates this. It certainly seems to go with enhanced clitoral sensitivity. For me there is nothing sexier than a girl in a bikini on the beach with a cute bulge - preferably with just a hint of clit showing through the fabric. Don't be shy, girls

[nett64]

I just wanted to say that I have been searching the internet for ages and am so glad that i found this site. I thought I was all alone and I too, thought occasionally that maybe I was one of 'those babies' and my parents chose to have a girl! It didn't make any sense though - me being the 3rd girl in the family! lol. If nothing else, it's just nice to know that there is someone out there who has thought the same crazy thought that I had. I once thought that it was because my spine is so straight (resulting in a flat bottom) but have since noticed that other people with that same shape don't have large pubic bones. I am the only one I have ever seen who has such a large bone and I know how alone/rare I am because of gym work in high school where I was the only one (out of 60 girls) who couldn't do certain exercises. I don't want to scare anyone but I am wondering whether, with each baby I had, did it get bigger because it seems to worry me (as in being embarrassed) more now than when I was young. It almost seems ridiculous that at the age of 53, I would still be thinking about plastic surgery at all, but i seem to be getting more obsessed - perhaps as time goes by the disappointment becomes cumulative and not something you get used to.

[glamgirl07]

I'm 15 and i too have this problem - I go to an all girls boarding school and as you can imagine, it is terrible to see all the girls walking round house in their underwear and then not be able to do the same. I used to be bullied about it but then one day i just turned round and said.. "you know.. f*ck you all cause its not worth the energy" and to be honest it is right to say that. I am too scared of getting intimate and especially scared of getting intimate with guys who have been there before. I just wish someone understood and there was an easier answer to this.

[nett64]

At least all the women on this message board understand - and that is something that we've never had before. One thing I have always said to myself is that at least I have legs and arms etc and am not disabled in any way. I know it's disabling in some ways, in that getting intimate for some is a problem, but apart from that (and when you find the right guy it won't matter in the least) it is probably a little problem. I think back to when I was young and I mustn't have been fully aware because I was more worried about a scar I had on my breast. My boyfriend who became my husband didn't care at all about the scar and has never mentioned my pubic bone. It turned out that he wasn't sexually active at the time anyway. He was also a wonderful person and serious about our relationship and I know he would never had commented on anything about our private lives to his mates. So I think, be fussy with whoever you become intimate with and I don't think guys really care about these things. I suppose they have their own worries with penis size etc, which, when you think about it, we don't really care much about. Decent women will not make fun of a man in that way and decent men/boys won't make fun of you either. I have always kept telling myself that it is just like having a big nose or big ears or whatever - just a different shape. It would be easier though, wouldn't it if it was more common? It must be hard for you in a boarding school. When I was young we were all a bit modest with each other, so it wasn't such a big issue. I reckon I'd feel it more if i was 15 now, 'cause like I said, I seem to be getting more obsessed as I get older. It's probably the times. You sound like a strong character, which is good, so all the best.

[girlygirl612]

I have it too! I'm 24 now but , while growing up, I constantly asked myself if something was wrong with me... or if I was not totally "female."  When I finally started to reach puberty I thought, okay I may be a girl.  Then I got my period and I thought, "Woo hoo!  I am a girl".  Now, in my twenties I thought, maybe I will never be able to get pregnant... I did get pregnant, totally unplanned, but I was SOO excited just to know that it was possible.  Anyway, I too will be searching for solutions to this bony problem and will post if I find any.  Keep posting anything you find!

[sunflowercake]

i have it to and i am only 13 i think that when i'm older sex is gonna hurt and i wont be able to have babies. But now you say that you're pregnant i can stop worrying so much!

[helava]

Hi! I have the same thing too! Thought I was the only one in the world - I HATE IT!

I just want to know if anyone has had a baby with our problem? I am concerned about the Labour part of pregnancy and whether there are implications giving birth because of the bone deformity? Has your doctor said anything?

Thanks!

[nett64]

I have had 5 children and no, it doesn't in any way affect labour. I am a bit puzzled by how anyone could worry about sex hurting as 'girlygirl' said and am wondering if we are all talking about exactly the same thing. Anyway, it definitely doesn't hurt.

What I have always wondered is, do we have any other anatomical similarities, such as overly straight spines, which is what I have? I have wondered whether, because my spine doesn't 'kick out' in the lower half, that it's actually forcing the pubic bone forward. There's probably more to it than that, but I'd love to know anyway. I am tall and thin(ish) and when I was young I was pretty bony.

[ThatGiirl]

Hey
Im 15 and I hate wearing skirts or tights oor anything cos when i lie down the bone sticks out major! I hate it. ALl my friends are sexually active.. unbeliveable ( i know) i doo wanna try some stuff but have been too scared of it. I only noticed it a year ago. I do get sore lowerright back pains.. if that helps anyone. I weigh 55Kgs... hoping thats the average weight for a 15 year old im 5ft 8 too.no one else in my family is like this and i wish i had bigger ****. i cant even fit into the smallest bra which is embarassing as some of my friends r C's

[Annie47]

I too have the same problem. I am in my 50's and since I had my last child by C Section this area seems larger which I find totally unattractive.  My hubby says I am worrying about nothing that he finds it sexy.  But I am too embarrassed to wear a swimming costume.  I would dearly love to go to Water Aerobics with my friends but just can't pluck up the courage.  I have been searching for some time to find a solution.  The only thing I have come across is a video on YouTube that shows exercises for the lower abs.  Maybe they will help.  Look at YouTube and in the search bar for videos type... Lower Abs and Fat loss.  Give it a try.....  I will.  I understand how you all feel it makes me feel not so alone but wish there was an easy solution I don't relish the thought of surgery.

[emmabean1]

I am so happy that I found this site. I feel like my protruding bone has finally found some friends, as odd as that sounds. I have, for years, felt like such a weirdo. I hate the way my bone shows through my clothes.  There are so many cute skirts, dresses, pants, shorts, etc. out there that don't fit me right because of the way I'm shaped down there.  I find it so embarassing!  When I walk down the street, I can see men looking between my legs, especially when I'm walking against the wind. Is there surgery for this? We need to find out! I understand that in the grand scheme of things, we should be thankful that this is our only "deformity" and that we are still alive and healthy otherwise.  However, like many others, I do not feel like a woman. Just like others, I thought that I was supposed to be a boy when I was born, but God made a last minute "switch."  I figured this is why I had that giant buldge.  Please keep us posted if anyone here hears of a SAFE fix.  I want a feminine contour down there, and feel it'd really lift my confidence. I tie sweaters around my waist, arch my back, but no matter what, it just can't be hidden.

[Annie47]

I understand entirely. I have searched on the internet without sucess.  I so wish there was an answer. I have a reasonably good figure for my age apart from that 'bulge'.  My hubby doesnt find it offensive and thinks I worry too much but that is easy for him to say.  I feel self conscious and always have done.  It feels worse since I had my last child as I had a C section and of course that leaves a problem with my lower abs I think it is called an apron so I am going to start some lower ab exercises I found on Youtube. Fingers crossed.

[Tashi102]

Oh my god, I thought I was the only one!! I've had this problem for years - I thought it was because I was born with dislocated hips and something went wrong with the treatment after birth! I would love to wear tights to the gym, but just feel like a freak with my huger than life camel toe.  Getting a bikini wax is just embaressing and I feel weird and unattractive and this has a huge effect on my self esteem unfortunately
I've spoken to my physio and chiropractor about this, and apparently my back is actually too curved (too many years of sticking my bum out to look more normal?) - my understanding is that I think it's to do with the shape and tilt of the pelvis and I honeslty don't think surgery woudl change that in any way... I actually feel a bit better knowing it's not just me, we're more normal than we thought! (and have to wear looser clothes below the waist...)

[tinkergal]

I'm glad to find these posts.  I also, like a lot of you, thought I was the only one.  I'm 39, can't wear tight shorts, skirts, pants, and when I wear a bathing suit, it has to have a ruffle around the waist/hip to hide my 'bulge'.  I realize that everyone is structurally different, but I do wish there was something that could be done to reduce it.  I also have a child, who just turned 6, so it didn't prevent me from having a healthy baby.  Actually while I was pregnant it was kind of nice because my big belly hid the large public bone.

[dbible]

I'm an average male.  I had no idea that a woman would be self conscious about this.  My girlfriend all through high school had a prominent pubic bone and I found it exciting and attractive.  She was and is a beautiful girl.  I married her.  I guess I'm just surprised.  I'm sorry it's so upsetting to a girl.  You are NOT a freak!

[aylana]

oh my god, i have it too. :( and i get really depressed about it. thank god i found this site. seriously, i think we all should meet up or something (but that would be impossible since we're from different countries. haha) i'm not sure whether alllll guys are like the guys who've spoken up here, but i definitely hope my boyfriend's one of them. :( i never really talk to him about it but sometimes i feel really really embarassed about it and that he might be abit turned off by it. anyway, i used to think i was supposed to be born as a guy too. haha.

[Tashi102]

Thank you so much for saying that it's not freakish or unattractive.  I still will probably never feel comfortable with it to be honest, but knowing it's probably not the repulsive turn-off that I've always imagined it to be makes me feel a bit better!

[nafif88]

im 20 and i had lipsculpture on my "bulge" abt 5 months ago.

the bulge was half due to the bone being prominent and half because there is just more fat than usual.

im a healthy weight for my height and basically the plastic surgeon said it was very common to do these procedures.

it was very painful and takes a LONG time to heal (im still not fully healed).

i wouldnt call it successful. i still have a bulge even tho it is SLIGHTLY smaller.

please learn from my experience.. it costs alot of money, it is very painful and really is inconvenient to your life and chances are it wont look anything like you dream of.

we arent alone, we know that much, surgery or anything like that is more drama than its worth.

[big10daddy1]

You women out here that think that having a large bone is a curse?? You certainly do not understand the males "AT ALL"  This is one more tool that lures in the men like bees to honey. It is Soooooo sexy. Most men really want to make love to that part orally, and then do it the regular way after they have had the fun of that massive play ground. It is Very sexually stimulating, and most men that have women that have a large bone like that, find themselves very jealous of other men looking at his woman all the time.My wife has to have the largest bone EVER! I would always get jealous of her when she dressed up, or went swimming etc.., because of all the male gawkers. She used it to her advantage  i guess, because she really likes attention, and that really got the people to approach her. Ladies?? If ya got it?? FLAUNT IT!! It is the sexiest part of a women, along with extra large nipples. Be proud of it. Most people would love to stand out in a crowd, and especially when it comes to attracting men.  ENJOY!!

[monagina]

I am 30 by now, and since I was 14 noticed something different down there, I mean the pubic bone. I have also short legs, or maybe the pubic bone is just coming so low, anyway I usually don't feel sexy about all these.  When I wear pants I know everyone is starring at me, but in the last time I really don't care. I saw some improvement in my appearance, when I wear high-heels shoes and, long blouses that are very modern now, I try in any way that I can to pass through this.
It's a little bit easier knowing that it isn't just me in this situation, but let's hope we will be healthy and this is our only problem.
All the best. Mona

[Cheesey]

Im so glad I found this site!!! im only 16 but have noticed this since i was 11... and swimming with friends is impossible! im not fat (i dont think!) but i am tring to lose some weight to see if i can 'flatten' it down a little bit... it is so embarresing (soz cant spell) and i was hoping that i could have an operation in the near future to sort it out... i havent told anybody about this problem because i thought that i was a 'freak' and that it was only me... :(
I have never had a proper boyfriend because im to scared of becoming to close, just in case he tells my friends about it, but i am sssoooo glad that i am not the only one with this problem and just hope that it can be fixed.

After reading your comments, I feel a whole lot better that I am not the only one.(Thanks!!)  I've been searching for any kind of plastic surgery to fix the "area" but sometimes I am NOT too sure if it's even worth it. Then Nafif88 said that she got  Lipsculpture (now I know what it's called) done and explained how painful the surgery was.  (Thanks for sharing your experience).  No matter what guys said on here, I STILL want to get it reshaped.  But I feel like we are pretty much stuck with the way God made us..  

[gracefulLEE]

I too, thought that I was all alone. Its so nice to hear others with the same thoughts and feelings about the large pelvic bone...
I am 23,  5'2, short legs and anywhere from 120-130 pounds on a given month. I realized the more weight I lose, the more my pelvic bone looks like it sticks out and so it is difficult  for me to keep my weight off.
I'm just glad to know that I am not alone. I wear whatever I want, but generally try to cover up my pelvic bone with something. Swimsuits are a no-no, and any fashionable high waisted pants? I dont think so. I used to wear a lot of knee length dresses but then I got chiggers and now I cant even wear that. Sigh...
Okay, im done with my rant. I realize that others have worse problems, but this is a big deal to me.
keep on trucking girls!

[nicknocks]

I have exactly the same problem and only today was shopping for clothes for a special occasion and saw a perfect dress but it was fitted from the waist down so there is NO way I could wear it. I have never spoken to any about it....I presume they must have noticed though....but am going to pluck up the courage to ask the doctor about it when I next go. No-one I know has this problem and am glad that there are others out there with the same issue. I am not sure if it is worse now but have certainly been much more aware the last few years. I will wear a bikini/swimming costume but do not feel comfortable at all so the sarong stays on!!!
Mine is bone but also fat/tissue on top.....and no....I am not overweight or underweight.
If I hear of any miracle cures I will let you all know!!!

[jlkmil]

I am SO GLAD to read all this comments...  I wonder does it runs in family?  Will our girls have it?  
I thought it was part of boy bone that was wrongly put, when I was born with.  whew.

[kayla27]

I am 27 and have been secretly suffering from the same problem since I was a little girl.
It does feel so good to find this forum and all your comments and stories, thank you all for sharing them. I've dealt with it all, the having to wear baggy clothes, the comments,  the sexual insecurity with boys, the thoughts that maybe I was meant to be a boy or a hermaphrodite, feeling like a freak, mutant, abomination etc. I even developed a horrible body misalignment from years and years of trying to tuck that part of my body in. It's been the cause of horrible back pain and headaches and I am currently trying to correct it through yoga though even that is embarrasing because when I DO stand up straight (esp during the class and poses) there's a horrible bulge there and I wonder if people are secretly wondering whether I'm really a girl or if I have a penis or something.  It is NOT a mental thing and it is NOT an eating disorder.  I too am thin, though eat very heartily and healthfully and all the GYN's brush it off as my being too bony. I know that there are worse things to have and I am blessed and grateful for what I have. I'm still going to fantasize that there's a way to fix it somewhere, somehow and that someday i'll have enough money to do so.
For the guys, thanks for speaking up- I now feel the courage to talk to my bf bout it.
For the younger girls, believe me I understand how difficult it is as a young girl. When I was young I would aways look at women's parts down there whenever I could  and  I couldn't wait to watch some pornos so I could see if there was anyone else out there like me. I had heard a statistic that even when you think you're alone on something, 99% of the time there is  someone out there who suffers from the same thing. After a while I concluded that there wasn't and that I was that 1%. It felt so horrrible. Please know that you're not alone.
Thank you again to everybody and let's keep each other informed on any miracle cures! ( so sorry for the rant but this has been cookin' for a looooong time )

[mocha78]

I'm almost happy that its not just me.  Just wanted to add that.  But I'm still in the pursuit of correcting it.  Even if no one else notices, or even cares, I do.  So even if I go through a painful surgery and the outcome isn't exactly what I was hoping it would be, I'm sure it will make me feel better that I did something.  To me, I think it would be worth it.  Good luck to everyone else who is going through the same thing, and good luck in whatever you decide to do!!  I'll check back soon, either when I have news or to see if anyone else has any!  :)

[untitledforher]

Yes..It's rather sad. Mine isn't as prominent but however, it is noticeable if I wear anything tight. You have no idea what I've tried to get rid of it. In the privacy of the bathroom, I've tried to flatten it by force. It didn't work. I've tried extreme exercise. Didn't work. I've tried ignoring and leaving it alone. Didn't work, doesn't work. Possibly when I grow a little older and get some money and I'm legally out of my parents' clutches, I'll go myself and get plastic surgery. My father doesn't care if I get plastic surgery, he says he'll take me to do my eyes when I'm 16 but my mother opposes but admitted she almost got plastic surgery on her face too. I think you could save up and come to the U.S., and be sure to find a good surgeon, and not one that's "discounted".

[xenaz]

I have the same problem and I am almost 46.  I have noticed that it has worsened with 2 children.  Like all of you I try to disguise it by pushing my buttocks back as much as possible but when lying down it is impossible.  Girls, we need help.  Even at my age I would like to have this corrected.  

[Nottheonlyone66]

I have the same problem, as does my mother. Does anyone know if this is genetic - maybe we are all related??? Anyway, it's good to know we all have the same 'thing' and it's awesome to hear that guys actually like it... this forum has slightly changed my negative attitude towards my 'thing' henceforth known as my BIG HAIRY PEACH! Rock on you big bump girls!!! ps Im 42 and a little over weight, was young and very skinny at one time, makes no real difference, the bump is still there, just have to live with it I guess?

[swammy]

i'm 17 and i can't wear cute things because of it. I can't lay flat on my back with out sticking out. it's terrible. and i too have learned to just stick my butt out. urgh. the things us girls have to go through. i really want surgery for my 18th birthday, but i dont know how i'm going to ask my mom? Any answers? I don't want to just be like " yeah UH mom, i have  a fat mon pubis so uhhh, i want to get lipo. sooo ya...." Like how can i ask her, without making a fool out of myself. Oh and i guess we basically refer to this word "f.u.p.a? which is very vulgar and  discomforting when people use it. it means " fat upper ***** area" it's that replusive!!  enough blabbering, i found a really good website!!! take a look.

[helpout121]

I'm 20 years old and I have always been pretty bony. At 5'7" I only weigh 120 lbs even though I have a healthy diet. About the time of puberty I began to notice that my pubic bone protruded a lot! I have never had the courage to talk to anyone about this and I always thought I was a freak. It is a constant worry that there is something genetically wrong with me and my female anatomy. I wear unattractive clothes just so I could hide this problem. I always avoided getting intimate with anyone, laying on my back, or wearing tight clothing. After reading these messages I feel a little bit better that I am not the only one!!
I wish there was some way to fix this problem but I don't think there is. When I work out I stick to track pants and when I have to wear a bathing suit I find one that has a skirt bottom. I have also found that layering short surfing shorts over a bikini bottom hides the problem. I constantly have to search for long shirts or layer my clothing to hide my embarrassment.
I have only been intimate with my boyfriend of 3 years and he does not seem to mind my problem and does not understand my embarrassment. I have small breasts and with a protruding pubic bone I feel like less of a woman. I hate shopping and finding clothes because of this. I really don't know what to do to make myself feel better about this issue. I don't think liposuction would be a solution. There is a little bit of fatty tissue, but even when I stretch the skin taunt my bone still protrudes. My hip bones also protrude a bit, does this happen for anyone else? Does anyone have any other fashion ideas to try to camouflage this or any idea to make it better? I am trying to come to terms with this but it is an extremely upsetting topic for me.
And for all young girls, I feel your pain. If adolescence isn't awkward enough, a pubic bone that sticks out makes everything more difficult. But apparently to a lot of guys it is really not that big of a deal, and it can be hidden with some clothing.
Any help or support would be amazing!

[swammy]

it's an upsetting topic for me as well : (
I thought I was a freak too, up until i found this website. I thought I was a hermaphrodite or something odd like that.  I never had done back bends in  front of people, im sure everyone knows why.I made up this story to tell people if they ever questioned me on it.  I plan on saying " I slammed againist the floor really hard when i was doing the splits when i was five and broke my pubic bone." that's how embarassed I am by it !youre right the layering things does do the trick. like, wearing long tank tops under shirts, buying pants that have three buttons instead of a zipper. [black pants do an amazing job]also to not pull them up all the way. Does anyone else have the problem with wearing belts? Like you can't really wear them because it makes our "problem" as you would say, stand out alot more? because i always have to wear them really loose, and it's not fun. i've learned a good trick about bathing suits as well.  Look for bottoms that are thicker and stretchier, it actually makes it look like there isn't a problem. also, if you don't pull them up all the way, it works! and for the lipo, when you get that done, i guess they can fail down the bone as well? i read it somewhere.

does anyone else have tips on clothing?

[stranger1414]

this is the first i have heard of any one elce having this problum, and it make me have a bit more faith in finding a anwer! It honastly make me dread every day, and the depreshion because of it is really efcting me.
Its hard to hug friends, i feel ugly and diffrent :'(

its hard to find clothes, and im 16 so im missing out on the yers where i look my best :( i wana just be normal. is there any thing that can be done!?

[Yas1991]

Does ANYONE here *actually* know a solution to this problem?

Im 17 and It's really great to know I'm not alone..and we're all sharing our experiences of going thru it..but it still kinda doesn't solve anything.

PROBLEM:  We all have a visible Popping-out mons pubis due to a prominent pubic bone or a big layer of fat tissues or a combination of both.

Still unanswered Questions:

1) Is it a good thing or a bad thing?  ( with the responses of the guys in here r they an exception or is this the majority's view? - think Big boobs...theyre a good thing..majority rules)

2) Does it get bigger as I get older?

3) How can i fix it?

4) and I heard about the lypo solution BUT I would STILL have a problem bec other than the fat tissues my Pubic Bone IS half the problem..as its prominent and looks like a hump when lying straight on my back.. So Is there a surgery for that?


I've been researching this and I heard there is the lypo solution but without having a solution for the pubic bone then its useless because these fat tissues are there to PROTECT the bone during sex.

[mocha78]

Good points!  I would also like to know if it's a good or a bad thing... ie. what do the majority of guys think?  I hate to wear a bathing suit mostly because of that!  What do other people think?  It's not like I see alot of other women with this problem.  But by the sounds of peoples comments, and my feelings aswell, it's not a good thing.  I wondered that too, about the lipo, but the bone still being there.  If you find anything out, PLEASE let us know!!!

[xenaz]

I don't think it is a good thing when most of us feel abnormal and unattractive because of this problem.  I don't care what the guys think. They are only the opinion of the minority.  
We ingeniously find some way of disguising the problem and even enjoy intimacy although it is always tinged by this problem.  I personally think it would take major surgery to fix the problem because of the reproductive organs in that area.  Someone (untitledforher) has raised this question with the Orthopedic Sports Medicine on this website entitled "A deformed pubic bone"...you all might like to have a read of the doctor's answer.  The end result is he said she needed to consult a doctor to have a thorough evaluation.  Can you imagine the embarrassment.  Not only would you have to expose yourself but you most likely would have to have xrays done too.  This is very difficult to do due to the intimacy of this area.  The bottom line is some needs to find the courage to see a doctor and tell us the result of their consultation.  Can anyone have the courage to do this?  We would all like to hear from you if you do.....

[keight27]

So I'm a virgin and I was just wondering if it is the first thing your boyfriend notices when he lays on top of you?
I have avoided ever having a boyfriend because I'm too scared of getting intimate.
I just wanted to know If there is any way to hide it when your that close to someone else?

[mocha78]

I've never had a boyfriend say anything about it.  If he even notices it, which I don't think he will, it definitely won't be the first thing he notices.  I promise!!  I know it *****, I hate it too, but don't let it stop you from having a relationship!  Plus, there's lots of 'positions' where he wouldn't be laying on top of you.  Hope that helps.

[chezzy521]

THANK YOU TO THE MEN FOR YOUR DELIGHTFUL COMMENTS I feel better about myself already (I think the male commenters are really telling us something here GALS).  Nobody likes a scrawny cat, but when you see a big fluffy pussycat you really want to play with it, DONT WORRY GIRLS,  its like a BIG JUICY PEACH i reckon, and YOU CAN STILL HAVE AMAZING ORGASMS, REPRODUCE normally, whatever.  Im sure there are millions of women like us, we have just never been written about in womens mags or appeared in porns ( i havent seen any yet) hmmm ONE DAY WE WILL BE IN FASHION

[healthnut1223]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with you at all, except your mind set... please know that I am a man. I'm guessing you think of this as a masculine bulge and it makes you feel anything but feminine. This is not the case at all. Think if it this way... men wish they would have a big chest and so do women, the difference is the shape. The shape of a man and women in the pelvic area are totally different. Personally I find the feminine pubic bone very attractive and I'll tell you why. Virtually all women (except very heavy set women) have a more noticeable public bone when the are laying on their back so this reminds me of that intimate setting. Again your curves are  clearly different, it's like comparing pecks and breast... one is feminine and one is masculine. I've shared shallow talk with other guys and they offer the information that the feminine bulge its a turn on and i never recall anyone saying he didn't like the feminine bulge. It's just like having larger breast, only it's the other feminine curve, so I say you have an asset.

[healthnut1223]

Forgot to say above.

Not all guys like thick girls and not all guys like thin girls. If any guy comments negatively about your curve don't believe that's the trend. Honestly I think most guys think it's a turn on. Like I say, it's kinda like seeing that women laying on you bed in panties, or the hot girl at the beach sunbathing, it's just feminine. I wouldn't care if you could see it in your skirt standing up. It's that intimate image of a woman's curves that is sexy as opposed to a girl with no shape or curves from head to toe, just boring that way. If your guy doesn't like it there is another man that will. Would you get a nose job too if you boyfriend made a negative comment. Don't ever forget... if you are a women even if you have a very pronounced pubic bone your curves are feminine and there are a ton of guys just like me who think that is a bonus to have such femine curves.

[julygirl07]

Well.. I'm 20. And I have the same problem.. Its is uncomfortable.. Yea, U have to watch what u wear and what not. I really wanna get surgry done to. Does it hurt on anyone? Mine doesn't hurt at all?. Sometimes it seems larger somedays than others?.. My periods are always on time. I've never had a problem with that. I've never told anybody besides my mom.. I also have a really big chest? could this have something to do with it?.

[yukiko4711]

I'm absolutely thrilled that I found this place. My mother had noticed my difference when i was about 11 yrs old. She actually told me it was a protruding pelvic bone, but never noticed any other relatives that had the same structure as myself. My mother kind of shrugged it off but I was always self conscious of it. As I got older, I learned to kind of let it go. Yes, I still think about it from time to time, but I've learned to be more accepting of it. With the few men that I've been with now, it has proved to be a great asset. ;) They've always commented on how sexy they think it is and it's helped boost my confidence about it.  And with the comments I've read above, maybe this explains my more 'heightened' sexual urges and sensitivity. Makes me feel more unique and special. (my personal ego booster!)

I'd say keep it ladies. Knowing your body better and harnessing the advantages in what you may think are 'flaws' may help you realize that you've got one up on most 'common' women in this world. And with the increasing amount of male comments on here, I'm starting to wonder if they know more about this than we do! haha.

[Ella1990]

These things kind of make me feel better. but i just cant help but feeling like a guy all the time.
I'm flat chested, lanky, I dont have hips and im just not shaped like a woman :( and my face isnt that great to look at either.
Im so scared of even being close to anyone. Im 18 and am still a virgin because of this. I dont want anyone to see me naked because i dont feel/look like a woman.
I just don't know what to do.

[freakedout4321]

i'm 18, 5ft 11 and weigh 10 and a half stone. i feel so self consicous with this bone thing that i don't dare get close to a guy. i don't like wearing anything but jeans so i have to put loads of stuff in my pockets to try and hide it. i feel ridiculous doing that though, i just want it sorted it out. it makes me so miserable and it makes me hate myself. i plan to go to the doctor and tell her about it but what do i say? please help.

[sweetpea03]

I tend to think that I'm the same way, I don't really like wearing anything tight. Though I would never resort to surgery to "fix" it. I'm just learning to really love my body. I found a guy who loves me for who I am and doesn't see any flaws in my looks. I never thought that was possible, but it's been great so far. Just act confident and you'll learn to be ok with the way you look.

[Haru_chan]

It's such a relief to have found this thread! I'm another girl with a large/prominent pubic bone and it's caused me so much grief. I'm 26 and first noticed this when I was around 12, so I've been covering it up for more than half my life. I have to choose my clothes really carefully. Ruffled/layered skirts are good, and body-control tights can help a little, but shiny and clingy fabrics are a nightmare. If anyone else has any clothing tips to share that'd be great! I avoid lying down flat because it accentuates the bulge, and I've done the arching-the-back-and-sticking-the-butt-out thing too, but it gives me backache if I do it for long! I'm 5 feet 5 and 115 pounds so I'm slim but not underweight at all - I used to think it was just fat causing the problem so I tried to starve myself skinny to get rid of it, but I still had a bump and I've come to realise it's the bone underneath that causes it. I have a friend who's almost exactly the same height and weight as me, but she has no bump down there at all and can wear really tight, clingy skirts with no problems. I have to admit I get jealous!

A couple of years ago (around Jan 07) I finally decided I wanted to do something about it. Back then, I still thought the problem was the fat in the area so I went to a well-known plastic surgery clinic and had a consultation. They didn't examine me at the time, but the nurse I talked to agreed that a labia reduction (I also have long inner labia but that doesn't bother me as much) and some lipo on the mons pubis would be a good option for me. I was booked in to have an examination and consultation with the surgeon a few weeks later, but I paid in full up front (had to get a big bank loan!) as the nurse told me I'd get a discount and special offers if I did this. She warned me that it was non-refundable if I changed my mind, but I was desperate to get rid of my problem and didn't care. I had all these images in my head of me wearing tight mini skirts and swimming costumes...

When I went to see the surgeon, he was really abrupt and didn't put me at my ease at all. He said I'd be a good candidate for the labia reduction, but then he pinched the flesh on my mons and said there wasn't enough there for lipo and he couldn't help. I was really upset and started crying (I just couldn't help it - what a let down!) and he said he "wished I could see some of the other women he's seen" as presumably they had more extreme bumps than mine. That didn't really help though, because if theirs were due to fat then they have the option of losing weight or getting lipo - what can I do?! Anyway, long story short the clinic said I'd have to go through with the labia reduction but they refunded the money for the lipo. I didn't want the labia reduction as that wasn't the main problem (it was just going to be an added bonus for me, so I'd look nice nad neat down there once the bump was gone!) so I went to my GP and explained the whole thing. Because I suffer from depression, he seemed to think this was tied up with that and wrote to the clinic advising that I was unsuitable for surgery at this point in my life and should be refunded. They did so, which was a relief, but I was left feeling worse than ever about my "girl bump" because it felt like no one believed me or cared and that I'd never find a solution.

I've since tried to stop focusing on it and just pick clothes that flatter my shape, but I still can't stop hoping for a solution! They can turn men into women and women into men nowadays - there must be something that can help us! I found out a few months ago that I have mild scoliosis (curvature of the spine) and now I'm wondering whether this is related. Do any other women here get back trouble? I'm going to see a physiotherapist soon, so I'll ask about this and let you all know what happens.

[Haru_chan]

Me again - I've just done a google search and I found a couple of pictures that prove we're not alone, lol!

WARNING: these aren't work safe as they show naked girl parts ;-)

I don't know how to make them into links, so you'll need to copy and paste them into your browser, sorry! It's good to see that there are women out there with the same body shape as us who are proud of their bodies and happy to show them off like this :-)

[Rebeccayo]

I'm happy to see this forum since I thought the percentage of women who have the same large pubic bone as I was a lot lower. It seems a lot more common now after reading all of these posts.

When I was around 19 and 20 (I'm 28 now) I finally realized that I was larger than the average girl and I admit I got paranoid and wondered why that was. I asked my doctor and she simply shrugged it off and said "Don't worry, about 18-20% of women have this. It's not harmful." I have similar problems as everyone else like wearing tight things or lying down but I have to be honest here:

Everyone guy I have been with has NEVER noticed. Not that I am saying that I've been with a lot of guys. :-) I'm pointing out that, in general, men don't really care. None of them have ever complained, said anything or looked disgusted. And trust me, men LOOK. The only thing they don't want to see is a penis. I'm serious.

In fact when I was casually talking to my husband one day about it he  was like "Your what?!" Surprised, I said "You know, how my pubic bone sticks out?" And he looked confused. And yes he has seen naked women before me. He still doesn't "get it." He just says I look beautiful and that I am too critical of myself. Men really aren't that shallow.

Since we are all friends here, I'd also like to mention that I verrryyy often get orgasms through sex. The doctor told me that because of the way I was shaped, I can achieve orgasms much easier. Very true for me!! :-D

Also, I really think it's NOT a deformity. I think it's just the way the pelvis and hip is formed. It's no different than how some men are small down there versus being big down there. And look at all of the different body shapes! Like apple, pear, hour glass, etc. And how does it look like a penis? I've never had anyone comment on mine or stare at me down there and I surf so I either wear a tight wet suit or a swim suit.

One girl mentioned that her hip bones stick out and so do mine but I think it looks sexy! I see girls who don't have large pelvic bones that have a slight hip bone stick out and it looks good. It's not being skinny or anerexic, it's just the way the hip is.

I am gym rat and I wear tight pants/shorts/capris. No one stares at me or makes snide remarks. I'm starting to wonder who some people on this forum hang out with. I get told I look fit and good by men and women so I think a lot of what we think is just built up on paranoia. We don't see many models with it because, well, think about it. If 18-20% of women have this and only, let's say, less than 5% of women in the world are "model" worthy, then the chances are pretty thin. I'm not too worried. Also, actress Kate Bekinsale mentioned her "problem down there" in an interview last year so there you go.

I just want every girl to feel comfortable with themselves. I've grown to like it because it actually benefits my running and reduces knee and hip injuries. Women usually suffer more than men from knee and hip injuries because of the way they are shaped but since my hip/pelvic is different, I've never had those problems and I run 6 days a week for an hour outside. Has anyone else here noticed this? I get way less injured than the average woman. I've always wanted to ask that...

One last thing, I have an identical twin sister who has the same large pelvic bone and her boyfriend's have never said anything to her either. No more worrying! :-)

And if some mean woman says something negative just shoot back with a saracstic "Oh yeah, and you're absolute perfection." I guarantee she's not.

[mocha78]

Thanks for finding those pictures!!  Makes me feel ALOT better about my issue!  I just wish we all didn't have to feel so unusual because of the fact that it's only evident in about 20% of women.  Everyone should check out those pics!!

[mocha78]

P.S.  Now I'm thinking, that if we had it surgically corrected, because it is part bone that sticks out, we would break in half if we had sex, or did anything strenuous.  We'd be fragile and weak in that area.  Ya know??

[mocha78]

Still not saying I like it though...

[Towly]

I'd first like to mention that I am a male. I've only liked women my whole life and had had exactly zero interest in men my entire life. In anatomy class we learned the pubic bone is really the most forward part of the hip bone. The fatty area on top of the pubic bone is called the mons pubis or mons veneris and is the scientific term derived from Latin used to describe the area. Literally translated this term means "mound of Venus". Notice that science hundreds of years ago didn't name it flat or plain Venus but mound of Venus. I'm sure most people know enough about Greek mythology that Venus was a Roman goddess principally associated with love, beauty and fertility. The pubic bone is almost always the most contributing factor to a pronounced mound. Usually the thinner you are the more obvious it is. The Mons Pubis is a unique type of fat that doesn't shrink as fast as the fat on your belly. It's a little like the fat in your cheek. You might have seen an anorexic women that still has cheek fat. By the way, usually the anorexic person often feels they have fatty cheeks when they often do but it's more to do with they bone structure of the face that makes them believe this. The hip bone is something like a bowl with a large hole in the bottom. This is why when you lay down you butt causes your lower pelvis to roll forward and your pubic bone become even more pronounced. This is true with nearly every woman. The front of the hip bone really pubic bone has narrow band connects the right and left side and provides support for walking and internal protection. Perhaps you think this could be shaved or ground down in a surgery however this connected area of the pubic bone must remain in place and can not be removed. The front of the hip or pubic bone is like a rim. The bone is not thick enough from front to back to make any noticeable reduction in size. I suspect if science really wanted to reduce the appearance of the pubic bone it could be possible but it would be terribly evasive and cost prohibitive. Especially with cosmetic surgery it's all about money and there may not be enough client's to support this type of procedure. Having some knowledge in health care I can't see how it wouldn't cost tens of thousands dollars and maybe into 6 figures to move the pubic bone back into the pelvis. Having a larger mound of Venus is perfectly normal. It's like having large eyes or small eyes size has nothing to do with any health concerns. Feeling like you have male parts when you are a women however is a real concern. The problem lies not below your waist but above your shoulders. You have a false perception. I like the comment above it's like comparing the male pectoral muscle with a woman's breast which take a totally different shape. I've never seen a single woman look anything like a man in that area but I bet you don't see it that way on yourself. Now you'll say "mine is bigger than other girls" but you don't understand that it still feminine and really just adds character. Virtually all women have it when laying down especially if they purposely rotate their lower hip forward. Some men will like only small breasted woen, some men will like only large breasted women and some men like all breast. If you had really large boobs why would you tape them down only to look smaller... I think i would be afraid to be intimate if I tried to hide something like that. Know that you are feminine and perfectly normal. Believe it and be comfortable with yourself and market yourself for what you are. Even if you believe this is a flaw think of the man you adored most. The aura of him would compensate for any one physical flaw. I'm sure you seen a hansom man too that was just a strange weirdo which made him unattractive. What you have inside is really more important. Don't be afraid of your feminine mound, it's just you. Just be comfortable with yourself and guys who really enjoy a larger mound of Venus may take notice of you. I can see how some men might make a cold remark. I would think of  people making these remarks might be more the homophobic type when they might actually be attracted to the feminine mound. Don't let what a few people say destroy your confidence. In Japan it is often considered a bonus to have a girlfriend with a large mound. My Asian friend from Japan bragged that his wife's mound was bigger than his masculine bulge. Just because you catch a guy looking doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't like it, he might actually be fascinated by it. Did you know that when a woman becomes aroused her mons pubis actually increases in size. There are a lot of subtle reasons why so many men appreciate a larger mound of Venus and I think there are many more than you are ready to consider. Personally I've always preferred a larger mound over a smaller one. The only girl friend that I had that was truly capable of a vagina orgasm had a very pronounced mound. I believe I was better able to stimulate her "G" spot because of her physical shape having a protruding pubic bone. I've talked to other people that have said the same thing. They also said the mound of Venus was a highly regarded sexual quality. Remember you have nothing to be embarrassed about and you just have more intimate essence about you. Regardless of what you are, just learn to be yourself. When you can take comfort in yourself... others will take comfort in you too. I promise this is always true.

Maybe this is something that doctors could do?

Just stretch out the skin.. with no need for libo?

[mustanggrl]

I'm 47, have the bump, my daughter has it, my mom and sister do not.  I think it's probably genetic like the color of your eyes :-)  Have had my share of sexual partners, none of whom ever, EVER, made any comment about my parts that was less then flattering.  I'm fit, athletic, happy and fairly hot blooded.   Yes its does stick out and I find myself looking at other women to compare my self but maybe after reading the male's responses to this post, I should be the lucky one, haha!  I looked at the pictures and found them somewhat erotic, funnily enough!  I do pick dark colors for my bathing suit bottoms and I think that helps.  But bottom line is, be happy with what you have in life, don't let it affect your feelings about yourself or your self worth.  No one can put you down unless you let them!  Shrug it off, if someone is just mean spirited, then they do not deserve to be your friend anyways!! Love life, love yourself. Treat yourself with respect!   There are so many worse things in life then having a bump.  Men love women and love them more if they love themselves first!  Sexy can come from inside as well as outside.  Love your bump and it will love you!  OK, I'll shut up now...

[KarenUK135]

Hello everyone,

Well I thought I'd sign up and share the information.  I typed in mons pubis surgery and hundreds came up for the UK and for America so have emailed a number of clinics for further details. I have taken into consideration that liposuction is painful and that perhaps it might not make a difference but I am willing to try...I'm tired of looking for ruffled bikini's and loose dresses.  Its exileration to hear that I am not the only one and thought some of you would like to know that people are actually having fat injected into that area to make it more plump!  If only they knew. I'm not sure if the problem is a protruding bone or fatty deposits but either way I have made the first step to finding out and hopefully getting it changed.  Was especially delighted by the photos shared and have since found more when emailing clinics, it is good to know that perhaps my 'problem' isn't as obvious as others.  I would note to the previous commentators that I am in my 20's and it hasn't got worse (or grown!). Thank you to the first person who brought this issue to the surface and fingers crossed, will inform all of you of any developements.

[Haru_chan]

I'm glad the pics helped - they made me feel a lot better so that's why I posted them!  :)I've been re-reading this thread and counted 44 different girls and women who've posted here who have a prominent pubic bone - and that's probably 44 people who thought they were alone with this until they came here! I know I did. There are women here from there early teens to their 50's, ones who've had kids and ones who haven't, slim ones and curvy ones... obviously this affects a lot of different people and isn't at all as rare as I'd been thinking! It still bugs me on a daily basis, but I feel massively better now that I know I'm definitely not the only one ;-)

[Haru_chan]

...and I've just found about another 20 women (I only counted ones who haven't also posted in this thread) with this issue in two other threads on this site:

http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Womens-Health/LARGE-MONS-PUBIS/show/524264

http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Womens-Health/LARGE-MONS-PUBIS/show/524264

So there are over 60 women with this body shape on this one website alone - maybe the world is full of embarrassed women covering up their "girl bumps"?! We should have a support group or something, lol :-)

[Haru_chan]

Sorry, the second link didn't work - here it is:

[Haru_chan]

Hmm, I also found this online:

            What is the reason for protrusion of the pubic bone?  
  
Q. I have a prominence of the bone which is below the stomach and above the thighs The bone is outwards (not flat) and is apparent if I wear skirts. Why is it like that and what can be done ? Is this the reason why I get back pain?

A. The bone that you are referring to is called pubic bone and this should normally be flat and not prominent. The important causes of this bone coming forward are any swelling inside the bone, deformity of spine or deformity of hip joint. All these three things have to be checked by examination and if necessary by X-ray. The same deformity can also be present because of vitamin-D deficiency in childhood and evidence of this will also be seen on X-ray. I advise you to consult an orthopaedic surgeon for examination and proper diagnosis of your condition.

Here's the link:

http://doctor.ndtv.com/faq/detailfaq.asp?id=2892

I don't know anything about the site or how valid any information given on it is, but I thought it was interesting and maybe something to look into. I have mild scoliosis (curvature of the spine) which I only found out about last year and I'm wondering whether this is related in any way. Does anyone else here suffer from back pain or problems?

[nz11]

I'm so releived to have found this site!! I'm 18 and have this same problem, and have never, ever discussed it with anyone! I've had it since around the time of puberty and have gone through so many similar thoughts and feelings as all of the other people commenting on this page. It is a major relief to know there are other people out there with the same issue so thank-you to all of you for posting and reassuring me!

It is still something I would like to get fixed though as I am a swimmer and am in togs a lot which means I am constantly avoiding showing my body, which I am otherwise totally comfortable with! It is always on my mind, in whatever I do and whatever I am wearing and to those of you who are trying to be positive and instill the whole "positive outlook" thing, it is great that you can be that way but I am so far beyond overcoming this with my mind. Im sick of feeling uncomfortable with a part of me I cannot change or grow used to because it is so rare and people hardly ever discuss it.

Does anyone have an approximate figure on how much plastic surgery like that would cost? I have been a few sites but they don't give a figure or name for this particular op. (on the sites i have visited) and also does anyone know recovery time for something like that? If I was to go through with it I wouldn't be telling many people!! Thanks so much for all the comments, they have definitely reassured me! (and I also suffer from lower back pains but I dont ever feel as though they are connected, could be that they are but obviously I have never mentioned it to my physio or osteo as part of the issue!)

[Haru_chan]

Hi nz11, yeah I felt the same way when I first found this thread - just "wow, thank goodness I'm not alone with this anymore!"

I know how you feel when you say you're so far beyond overcoming this with your mind and you're sick of feeling uncomfortable with a part of you that can't be changed. It's all very well people saying it's a variation of the normal range of body shapes (which it must be, considering how many women here have the same issue!) but that doesn't make me want to walk around in tight-fitting clothes showing it off and being looked at! :-P I'd just like to throw on a skirt or pair of trousers without having to check how much they show my bump and then spending ages trying to disguise it - it's so frustrating!! And no matter that guys have said on here that it's not the same shape as the bulge a man has in that area and couldn't be mistaken for it, I still feel really uncomfortable having any sort of bulge down there. I don't think people are going to see it and say "well it's not the same shape as a guy's "package" so it must be a prominent pubic bone - they're just gonna see a bulge in the area that a man has one and stare! I've had it happen a couple of times when I wore a mini-skirt that was too clingy :-(

Regarding surgery, I'm not sure what can be done. In my case, I've been to a surgeon and was told he couldn't give me lipo as I didn't have excess fat there, it's just the underlying muscular-skeletal structure. It seems like that's the case for a lot of the women here from what I've read. If you have a lot of excess fat there then it's possible something can be done, but it wouldn't be cheap. Not sure where you live, but in the UK it's likely to be over £3000. If it seems like it's the bone that's the problem and you're suffering from back problems, I'd see your doctor about it and maybe get a scan/x-ray. I have back problems too and I'm looking into this at the moment. I don't know whether an unusually prominent pubic bone is just a natural variation in body shapes (like a big nose or broad shoulders, etc) or a sign of something wrong or out of alignment in that area - but I really want to find out!

Good luck with whatever you decide to do, and keep us posted here if you find anything out :-)

[irreversible]

I just realised this is the way little (baby) girls look like, because their hip bones are somehow tight and probably not yet developed. Yeah, we are like little girls.

[JLO2009]

I am nearly 30, have had probably 10 sexual partners, and not one time has my protruding pelvic bone been mentioned.  So either they really don't notice because they're so busy worrying about actually GETTING busy, or perhaps they like it.  Frankly, I've never had the courage to point it out and ask their thoughts on it, because I was too afraid.  And trust me, it's a noticeable lump.

Somehow, I think it's genetic, because my sister has commented on having it too (not that I stare at her crotch constantly, but it's somewhat noticeable when she's wearing a swimsuit).

To this day, I wouldn't be caught dead in leggings or leather pants, since I am still incredibly self conscious about it, and I'm very cautious about wardrobe choices at work because I work with a bunch of immature pigs that would be the first to joke with their colleagues that I had a "penis."

I just wish most people were more accepting of diverse body types and standards of beauty.  I can't wait for the day when some woman with a nice mound stands up defiant against those airbrushed, stitched-up female genatalia in Hustler and porn flicks and demands that the world acknowledge her large...female...mound.  You think if more men knew how great it was that we would all be sporting leggings right now?  :)  I say we start up a website dedicated to "the mound."  Promote the heck out of it.  Make it so that women are running out to get plastic surgery to look like US.

[kiki990]

Wow!! I don't feel alone anymore. I could definitely see why it would be a little embarrassing because it is rare and most women have flat, small bumps. I also found out when this guy kept staring at it and asked me what I was "doing to myself"  I also avoid wearing tights around ppl cuz no matter where you live ppl always feel compelled to STARE and JOKE )-: Fortunately, I have a totally sweet bf who doesn't care if it was tattooed with bunnies on it. Lol. There is surgery though called pubic reduction so check your gyneacologist and do what I do.......cute wraps on the beach and make ruffles in the crotch at the gym (-:

[s_islove]

i thought i was the only 'weirdo' in the world too before i found this site.. i think i noticed my bump when i was around 10, but i think its gone more noticeable since then (12yrs) or i have a really bad memory and i cant remember..

but it seriously STICKS out. a lot. when i shower n look down u see this bump >< ive had 2 sexual partners and while im absolutely positive they noticed they were too polite to say anything about it. everyone i know are flat :( i hate it makes it hard to dance in case u knock into someone n theyre like 'what the heck' n i have never worn a bikini without boardshorts..

i also wanted to ask anyone, does having a protruding pubic bone also mean that you  have a shallower vagina?? mines only 4cm deep.. n im pretty sure that is more than abnormal.. :'(

[s_islove]

i also experience orgasms quite easily (my friends get jealous cos i seem to find what they consider special to be the ordinary) but i am WAY TOO SELF CONSCIOUS about my mound to get close with new guys. i dont want to know what they will think.. =/ to all the guys who have replied this thread, its nice to know that you dont mind, but the majority of guys out there..

[crashingsunsets]

Im 17 about to be 18.
I first noticed when i was about 10
my mom said to me "honey, your poochy right there" and
poked at my pubic bone.
Im not very thin. Im pretty average.
im 5'4 an i weigh about 170
but i do alot of sports and im honestly all muscle
my stomach is flat.
but when you get down to my vagina, its just like this mound that is poking out of me.
I always think it looks like ive got some junk down there like a man
its embarrassing when i go to the pool.
because im always adjusting my swim suit to where it hides it some
mines not just a bone, its like it has a layer of tissue and fat over it.
and it makes me feel soooo self conscious.
im scaredto get intimate because im afraid if he slips his hand down my pants, hes gonna feel like hes grabbing a man, not a female.
i want to talk to my mom about it. bu tidk how.
ive never seen another girl with this.
i go to he waterpark, and i never see it. not even a fatttt woman.hers still looks flat.
This is overtaking my social life. I want to wear cute sexy panties for my boyfriend. but im afraid to. i want to be able to buy normal clothes without having a bump in my pants

[Annie47]

I have read all your comments and I have the same problems sympathise.  My worries are more on the fatty tissue that covers my protuding bone.  Are there any exercises that would help to reduce this? If anyone has any tips please let me know.  Thanks Annie.  
By the way I have been married for 27 years and my hubby doesn't find it offensive and finds it sexually attractive. But that doesn't help me with the look of the clothes I would love to wear.

[Ava_hottie24]

Hey my name is Ava. Im 22. I noticed this too when I was younger. At camp once, my "friend" made a comment "why does it stick out?" and I have worried about it ever since. It is definately not easy, especialy thinking about being intimate with a guy and choosing clothes to wear. I think we just have to get over it girls. Im trying to accept the fact that
a) its NOT going away
b) MAYBE we can use it to our advantage
and c) WE ARE NOT ALONE!
its very comforting to kno that there are other girls with this problem, I thought it was only me.
If ANY guy ever makes comments, frankly hes not worth knowing. If he loves us he will accept us and our bony body just the way it is.
is that comment bout Kate Beckinsale true? i always wonderd about that, some celebritites MUST have it too.
as for clothing, while wearing jeans cover it with loose fitting tops, wear soft flowy dresses...NEVER body clinging fabric, even pencil skirts hug your hips and not "that" area which helps. i dont hug friends very much either....but I dont think they wud care, they have always been there 4me. and boardies with bikinis underneath. Girls I think we should get over this, just love what uve got and DONT let ******* and mean guys say things. just kick them in the crotch, see how they like it. =)
wish us all luck and love from a guy who deserves us.

[eslspeaker]

Hi, I have a same problem. DON'T THINK of plastic surgery, since you are healthy, and don't want to deal with any other issues comes after doing so. What I believe what's causing the problem from my research is "because your pelvis is not aligned ideally" and "hunch'lower'back".

I suggest you to study anatomy of pelvis and spine, include other bones connected and muscles. You also want to check your posture from front, back and most importantly from sides.

What I think myself, and when I am unconscious, my lower back (spine?) is hunched and lower pelvis seems leaning and protruding forward. I have no hip muscles at all. By the way, I am not a doctor or any professional, so anything I say here, you need to research more by yourself. But I think, there is a muscle, somewhere is in my front half, is shrunk or intense to pull my pelvis forward - eventually my pubis - and it's causing because my back half muscles are stretched and loose and are not strong enough to pull back my lower pelvis aligned normally. So... I believe that the solution is to improve your muscles on your back, or hip or somewhere back side to achieve your muscles balance.

Here is an interesting note that, protruding pubis is related to your jaw. Do you always put your jaw on your hand when your elbow on the desk? I do, and don't know why what the exact relationships, but perhaps it meant this habit develops hunchback include hunch"lower" back.

As a conclusion, I believe that you can fix or reduce protruding pubis by backside muscles exercise, and right posture. You can google some websites shows how to exercise according muscle group. Keyword is "exercise muscle".

I hope this helped some of you reading this... Please be careful of your excessive remedy, since it might cause lower back pain and you really don't want that. Moderation and patient is very important. Apology of my imperfect English.

[Katafeline]

I have the same exact problem. I used to always be a little chubby and thought it was due to that. I used to stare at my bigger friends and noticed that their area down there wasn't big at all. I'm 20 years old now and I constantly notice people starring down there. It's so uncomfortable. There's a female hip hop artist named Nicki Minaj who also has it. So I assume there's celebrities out there with the same problem. I'm 5 feet tall and I weight 110-115 lbs. My protruding bone with the layer of fat over it looks so massive compared to my skinny legs. It sticks out very far and looks huge. I need a way to fix this. I just wanna be able to wear normal clothes. I want to be able to wear regular jeans with a short top and not always have to wear longer things to cover it because most of my clothes aren't long. I think I just have a very large pelvic bone because though I don't have large hips, my pelvic bone sticks out from the sides of my lower stomach and it gives me a nice shape. I just hate the damn bump. What can us girls do? I know this is a constant suffering.

[deelicious]

Hi everyone! I have been suffering from self consciousness because of my bulgy pubic bone since I was about 11.  I also thought that I was the only one so reading these posts has given me some relief. Every time I see girls in bikinis, underwear or anything tight and sexy I just want to die!  I know I have to get over this but it is just so hard to accept the fact that I am not normal.

I have wanted to change it ever since I realizd it was different but I finally plucked up the courage to tell my boyfriend about it.  He said he finds it really sexy and it doesn't turn him off at all!  When he told me this I was completely shocked because since I have thought it was so ugly for so long I couldn't see that maybe there was actually a bright side it and that I was just being a drama queen (which I usually am :).  I too was worried about it affecting my sexual life and labour, etc. I am so relieved that I can have a baby at least even though I will have to reveal this insecure part of me...

Anyways, what some of you have been saying about how if a guy insults you about it, he's not the one for you.  I have proof that there are guys who don't think it's ugly and repulsive like we do. Those are the ones you don't let go of. I would be stupid to let mine go again.  I am soooo lucky and grateful that he gave me a second chance. In my opinion, I didn't deserve it.

[PrivateNShy]

HAHAHA....i have it too =(
A few times I have felt insecure about it as well...
WOW..not sure how bad I have it...but I know darn
well I dont wanna have plastic surgery on it!

I am realived to know that its not just me!

Even my DH and gal pal poked me in it as fun
and my own mother said once, "what is that"

Just gain MORE WEIGHT!!! and it will go away.
I noticed that I am  very slim and when my weight drops it more
apparent..however when i have more weigh its hardly noticeable.

[jjjkkkl]

before i start off sorry that my english isnt good.
actually what You most worry about would be a sex.
so ive asked many guys about protruding pubic bone,..and  it depends on person. some guy like the way (they like the feeling when their pubic bone bump aginst each other), but others dont like it saying it was the most  unpleasant experience ; it was so painful, couldnt concentrate on ,and sometimes their penis came out because of high mound ( what they talking about is when in missionary position)
well..still i wonder who like large pubic bone. because we're still a small number of people and was they actually sex with girl that we mentioned(like above pics)?

[deelicious]

I think you are right about the gaining weight thing but I would never do it. I want to play basketball and keep my hot boyfriend! Haha

Anyways, I would suggest rather than gaining weight, just try to embrace it and use it to your advantage!  Some guys think it's really sexy and like I said, the ones who don't DO NOT matter!  I know I shouldn't be talking since I can't get over mine but I am trying to.  I know it's going to be a struggle for me because it already has been so far and I am fairly young so I haven't known I am different for very long.  I feel like I'm torturing my boyfriend with this because I am always upset and unpleasant to be around.  

I am not going to give up though because once I embrace it and decide to love my body and myself the way I am I'm sure I will be so much happier (so will my boyfriend! Haha)!

[DKf4]

My girlfriend has this "problem" and she was afraid it would turn me off if she told me... well eventually she did end up telling me and it warranted exactly the opposite response; it REALLY turned me on!! Please stop worrying; every comment posted by a male on this sight has been positive!
            I think the reason having a prominent pubic bone turns guys  on is because it accentuates an area that attracts us and we rarely get to see. So logically since the prominent pubic bone (as i said) accentuates that area, in other words making it more obvious and visible it turns us on!!
            p.s. just talking about that area can turn a guy on so please i wouldn't worry to much, if talking about it can turn him on seeing it(no matter how it looks) will most likely turn him on as well haha

[juicypeach]

hi everyone,so we all taught we were the only freaks in the world with this problem,i must be the only one in ireland,lol,any way im 33 and delt with this all my life,i taught i was supposed to be a fella,because of it,plus i then taught i was really a fella cause id look at pornos and get really turned on by the girls,theres looked so flat and cute that i could imagine myself really getting hot with this girl,and was thinking how could my boyfriend like mine,when theres was so perfect,my boyfriend has never mentioned it,i hold back on sex a lot because of it,but my boyfriend gets so into it and says how much he loves my *****  when were  making love and by the way he really wants it all the time i guess he dosent mind its a more cushioned experence for him,i do come every time we make love, seeing all the lads coments makes me feel really happy,i cant wait till my boyfriend comes home,hes gona get a new reformed me,im getting horny now thinking of it,,,thanks lads.. we are not weired just one of a kind, so glad i found this sight by chancy yesterday,    still wouldnt wear a swimsuit or similer lol. its just for me and my man x

[rueben59]

I am almost 50 yr old male and have been married to my wife of 46 for almost 26 yrs. If any of my comments seem over the line to anyone I will apologize now.
I feel very fortunate to have a woman who is built exactly as some of you describe.It is very big,sticks way out. She is also proud of her anatomy and we joke and have had lots of fun with it through the years.We grin at one another when we see a "BUMP" in the road sign! She realized she was built differently at a very young age and covered it up as best she could. Her parents taught her and her siblings never to be ashamed of their bodies.(good for them!)

We have had a extremely good sex life through the years and have remained active through out.We keep her/our secret to ourselves and are glad to here that others are proud of this too. She wears skirted one piece bathing suits etc.You should be proud. Yes you have to dress a little differently if you are shy etc,and I can relate that is all in your perception. Perhaps the teasing by others is jealousy?

I have discussed this issue with other men and they do find it more attractive than the women who are flat shaped.Its like the difference between a large penis or clitoris,most people prefer larger.She also has a above average clitoris and puts it to good use.I really enjoy the "fit" in the missionary position and she will put her hands underneath herself to accentuate the mound and it is the BEST.We do enjoy straight porn and will comment positively if we see this rare exception and find it stimulating. We wish their was a web place like this for adults to enjoy and for those that are so blessed.

To those of you considering surgery and such I hope you change your mind,it is a gift. We have three children,two girls and they have this also and have had good relationships and children with no problems at all. So in my humble opinion I belive it to be hereditary. I have never ask, but I am sure the the way their husbands treat them they feel as I do,that they would`nt have it any other way for all the surgery/money in the world.  Thanks

[Lola19]

I have the same problem, but instead of it being the pelvis bone that protrudes out, it is defiantly more of a fatty tissue for me.  
BUT I do not find it a really bad thing now.  When I was younger I would be more embarrassed by this and would have a hard time dealing with it, but now I am SUPER happy to have what I have and show it off to the world!  (not literally...but you get the point!)

There are so many clothing options out there now a days that can really complement a woman's body that cover the mon pubis and make it not noticeable!  And if you are worried about bathing suits and things like that, go for the darker colors, makes it stand out much less.

And honestly most guys do not care!  Like in my case since it is more of a fatty tissue above the bone then the bone itself (I am not fat in any way, 5'6" 150lbs 19 years old and very active) and I find that most guys like it, and as some friends have said to me.........

"More cushion for the push-en!"

........which always makes me laugh!  But as said by lots of people here, most guys wont care either way what it looks.  And if you are with a guy and feel uncomfortable, tell him because you should feel comfortable at that point to do so. So don't let this bump hold you back !  and if the guy doesn't like it, he simply isn't the one for you!

One way that helped me think of my bump as more sexy was that I read in multiple places how it was called the "mound of Venus" and how Venus is the goddess of Love.  When you think about it, maybe all the girls with the flat pubic areas and the weird ones and we are all goddess!  But just reading that name made me feel good about it!  
I guess lipo is a way to get rid of it, but I feel that trying an operation could make it worse looking.  I rather be proud of my bump then have a huge scar or anything like that.  
Why get ride of something that makes you, YOU?  

[s_islove]

noone has answered my question =(
does having a protruding pubic bone have anything to do with a shallow vagina?
mines only 4cm deep before u hit something.....
ive been googling the depth n 4cm is way off the average.........

I also have a protruding pelvic bone and thought i was the only one untill my first year of college.  I've been aware of how large the bone is since 8th grade when i was trying out for the vollyball tyeam and we had to do spikes across the floor and when i slid, the bone hit the ground so hard and it hurt so much that i had a large bruise for weeks.  since then i've been majorally self-concious about it and i'm constantly looking at other females' and wishing that i had a pelvic bone like theirs.  

i'm so happy I found this site, it has help me so much.  thank you everyone for sharing.  I never thought any guy would find it attractive, that was very surprising.  I also understand the whole statements about how it helps females with having orgasms, i never thought about that factor, although from personal expesience, I would very much agree.

once again, thank you everyone that has shared their story here, it was very comforting.

[kelly_lo]

Are you genetically supposed to have large babies? My moms side pushes out 12-14 lb babies, and we all have large pelvics. I'm so insecure about it too, but I focus on the fact that if I wasn't the way I was then my baby might be to big to fit through.

[deelicious]

I don't think you're supposed to have big babies... My mom has the same thing and I was five pounds. Then again I was premature baby so... Sorry I'm not much help!

[BalletLuver]

I know exactly how you feel.  I'm 17 and have the same problem.  I hate it, it's so embarassing.  It stops me from doing things i would like to like dance, but i'm too embarased to wear the body suits.  I thought i was the only girl like this and felt like a total weirdo.  it makes me feel a little better though knowing i'm not the only one.

[sarajeanrose]

I'm an eighteen year old female and I've had an enlarged or "protruding" pubic bone since birth.
When I was younger, I would get teased for being fat, which would lower my self-esteem. I was extremely self-conscious about the lower part of my body and would wear baggy clothes and long shirts to hide the bulge, as most of the women on here have.
In high-school however, I started feeling better about my looks. I lost a major amount of weight (was over 200, now down to 160), and I've gotten compliments about how pretty I am, but there's still one thing I can't live with... my pubic bone.
Everything else about me is fine, but when I get into the bedroom with my boyfriend, I can take my shirt off, but I can't take my pants off. I've tried, I get so anxious that I flake out and run into the bathroom.
I don't like feeling like this, but it's good to hear that I'm not the only one.

[Haru_chan]

Does anyone else here have narrow, boyish hips? I do, and I'm wondering whether this has something to do with it. It's a pity we can't do polls on here - it'd be good to get as much information together as possible!

[Power_to_the_boney_girls]

Oh my god. I have been sitting here crying for half an hour. I've put the rst of my life on hold right now (at uni, heaps of work to do) because I have found OTHERS!!!! Any of these messages could have been me. I too worried that I wasn't all-girl, that I couldn't have babies (I'm 24 and have only just started worrying about that), that I was the only one, that no man would ever find me attactive, and I have spent my life since I was 8 (when it was first pointed out to me by a charming group of boys at a swimming carnival) worrying about people seeing it. I am 152cm (pretty short) and 47kg, which is right in the middle of the healthy weight range for my age and height. I have strong, healthy, but quite fine bones, so I have always been confused about why this one is so big. I have a super curvy back, which I am sure I have caused damage to over the years by poking my bum out in an attempt to jut my pelvis backward. I used to live in hope that as I got older this adjustment to posture would make the protrusion less obvious, but it hasn't, and I just have a pokey-outey bum now too....so youngens...DON'T TRY POKING YOUR BUM OUT TO HIDE IT! It causes more harm than good, and does NOTHING to help. This is the first community of women I have found with the same 'problem'. I am so relieved to hear your stories and to know that there are other women out there suffering and struggling to make sense of it and find a solution. Even just to know there are so many of you is such a relief. I have read everyone's post, and I have cried for you all and myself and just feel so overwhelmed and sorta good. I'm an Aussie girl..so no bronzing at the beach for me. I hide my body (which is otherwise quite attractive if I do say so myself) and I'm so sick of it. I see enourmous women wobbling down the beach in string bikinis and I just feel like stripping and copping the worst of what anyone has to give me all in one go so I can hear the worst of it and move on to acceptance, but it's just like an impossible burning thing inside. I have been in a good relationship for 5 years (this month) and he loves my body, and there's no feeling abnormal or anything in my bedroom. But I don't feel sexy. I feel less feminine than other women, and, though he constantly reassures me it wont happen, I live in constant fear he'll ditch me for a flat-pubed hottie he can show off...someone who wants to be shown off and can be. I just can't feel comfy in my body. I also suffer from hyperhydrosis (excessive sweating) even in the middle of winter, and I have always wondered if there was something fundamentally wrong with me. Yesterday I typed "never should have been born" into google to see if I could find anyone else out there who wonders if there is something terribly wrong with them.I suffer from regular bouts of depression and anxiety. I have a degree in acting for screen and stage, and it has not helped my confidence at all. I just feel like giving up sometimes, but hearing so many other women who seem to have the same desire as me...to just take a bloody axe to their pelvis and chop it off...I feel so much more like I'm normal, and allowed to be here and call myself a woman, and challenge anyone who disagrees.

I don't know any of you, but I love you all. :) Thank you. I too will keep searching. I have also never gone for a pap smear for the potential shame involved. I will now book myself an appointment, and ask for a referral to an orthopedic surgeon to have my back, hips, pubis and vitamin D checked like someone suggested, and I will come back here and tell you all what was said, as it could offer some more clues.

Be strong ladies. We are all together in this. United we stand on all corners of this vastly diverse globe. :)

Huge cuddles and warm fuzzies to you all. May we all get a chance to feel feminine and sexy!

Cheers - Suddenly-empowered-Aussie-chicky

[Power_to_the_boney_girls]

Just realised that I forgot to mention something VERY important.

TO THE WONDERFUL MEN who have taken time to try and help squash the emotional anguish we are all experiencing about this paert of our bodies, THANKYOU SO MUCH! Honestly, it is a relief when you first hear from a man that it is not weird, and that a lot of men find it sexy. My partner is wonderfully supportive, but I think the more male voices saying that this is a desirable attribute, the more normal we all get to feel. You are beautiful and brave, boys. :) I am so glad to see you in here helping women with something so embarrssing and emotional...words which usually cause men to run a mile!

Truly.

[mamaKB]

I have a protruding pubic bone as well--and one of my two daughters does as well.  I agree with all that's been said about being careful about what we wear.

I, too, find it quite easy to reach orgasm and attribute it to the shape of everything down there.  

I've been with my husband for 11 years now and every now and then--especially if I'm on top facing him--he'll tell me my pubic bone is digging in to him and it hurts.  Has this ever happened to you?  What do you do about it (and what modifications do you do so that you can still be on top?)

Thanks!

[angeldust66]

wow, i am in shock, like all of you i also thought i was the only one, again i cant wear anything tight specially swimming suits because i dnt feel right, i feel damnright horribel, and usexy, most things other girls can wear i cant, because that part looks just way too big, and i dont think its normal, not only that i dont think it looks nice, ive tried to convince myself that its sexy in some way but i just cant. HOWEVER, my current boyfriend and the other men ive been with say its amazingly sexy, and better for sex, and everytime i mention the idea of getting it removed or anything he said NO because he really really likes it. hes been with other girls and he assured me that its the best, the sex is amazing, i have been pregnant, i dont have ny other deformities, that i kwno of thank god, but still.... i want to feel sexy naked, in lengerie, in swimsuits, and THANK U ALL i am soo, soooo, sooooooooo happy im not the only one, (not that im happy because ur not) and i understand and relate to each and every one of these comments, i hope u all feel better in some way about it, because if it comes to sex, guys apparently really like it, maybe if i try harder to convince myself that its a good thing, and try and feel "unique" then itll be better

[Loupers]

Ugh I feel all your pain. I hate this so much! It completly ruins my self esteem. I don't wanna wear bikins or even take a shower with my boyfriend of 2 years. It makes me uncomftorable to even sit down cause I think it's sticking out for the world to see. And don't get me started on leggings. The most unflattering clothing item for this issue. I want it gone. U heard lipo works and maybe shaving down te pubic bone. But it seems like it's more fatty tissue then bone. But hey I'm not a dr. I'm 18. 5'3. 130 lbs. I'm not fat but I'm not skinny like the rest of you. I just want to feel pretty and beautiful in my own skin. To be able to walk around the room in just my thong and not have to worry about my fat mons pubis sticking out. I wish I could have a normal looking vagina. :(

[ladyjamie]

Pilates...I swear - and not the ridiculus hundreds..the tiny therapeutic movements that mobilize and stabilize the pelvis and hips (pelvic tilting, pelvic clock - side lying single leg work - int/ext rotation of the thigh, leg cicles) this will increase awareness of the area and how your negotiate the placement of your pelvis in every other position.

I'm a Pilates trainer and have a slight rise - it bugged me to no end and played with my self esteem in a big way - it still does - and I've noticed ..the area is dynamic.  once I start to balance and neutralize the whole area (leg work, the stuff mention above - magic circle w. relaexed grone for inner thighs) is helpful - I've seen it shrink.  

Lately I've enjoyed too much computer time and have sunken into my lower lumbar region - and guess whats all puffy again - that and yoga  - backbending - pops it out.

Listen though - as much as I've conditioned myself to HATE it....my past boyfriends loved it - or - and I'd shoo them away - were reallly curious....in a good way I now see in hindsite.

Dear god, and don't penises exist in all forms?

Also - I've heard over and over that I have a SMALL vag...go figure? shocked me too - small as in tight (sorry to be soo crude...but in the theme of this conversation).  So...ladies, kegals - balance it out with postural exercises and LOVELOVELOVE your sweet selves - we're only here for a short time.

Thank you for all the feedback.

[jjjkkkl]

women who have fatty tissue on there shoulnt compalin on these threads. 100% men like this because its cushioned for men while having sex. uguys are lucky.its rather blessed thing not shamed. i have a very protruding bone and i can feel hardness on the mound. i feel myself hurt on bone  when i lying on stomach. im so scared of having sex because i know it hurt him and make him uncomfortable during sex..

[jenntx83]

I have the same issue, and it honestly felt great seeing this website because this is the first time I have ever heard of anyone else with this.  I fortunately do not have problems with intimacy, sometimes I wish I could talk about it with my boyfriend but I guess we both pretend it's not an issue.  For swimsuits, it's annoying that I limit myself to only the ones that have skirts for bottoms.  I wish I could find a way to fix it so I wouldn't have to be embarrased when I work out at the gym wearing cute workout pants or even wearing my tight fitting jeans I like to wear.  Thanks to everyone who has shared!!

If anyone wants a confidence boost, look at Raphael's painting the three graces:

http://www.fotos.org/galeria/data/559/Raffaello-The-Three-Graces.jpg

- goddesses of such things as charm, beauty, and creativity, and all depicted with a plump, feminine mons! :)

[kazarmo]

Hi everyone,

I am a woman, I do not have this attribute that most of you have posted on here. I did however look at the pics another poster provided. I have to say I think it is very feminine looking, and am actually a little jealous. Do not be self conscious about it, it is very attractive and I do agree with the men, it makes you look more like a woman.
BTW I am a straight female,

Be happy with who you are. Please!

[cxxx]

I'm 18 and have been worrying about this problem for years. It's always really upset me and stopped me from wearing certain clothes and from having a boyfriend. I've always been too scared to do anything with a guy becuase I have always felt I looked disgusting because of it. This thread has helped me so much and although it still bothers me I feel so much better about it now! Just wanted to say thank you and am so happy I'm not alone :)

[poorlittlefish]

I have always been bothered by my pubic bone, but when I come across dozens and dozens of posts from people with exactly the same "problem" on this and other sites, how can I be abnormal?  It's like someone else said, human anatomy differs so much for every other part of the body, so why should we think the mons pubis must be identical for everyone?  I think that posture and the way women stand etc can make things look better/worse too.

I had liposuction on my mons pubis but the surgeon said there was little fat to remove (I am underweight for my height and my hip bones, ribs etc are visible on me so my bone is probably made more prominent anyway).  I said I wasn't happy with the result, so the second time he agreed to use a high-powered burring thing to literally shave off some of the bone, but he had to warn me that he wouldn't be able to take off much because weakening my pelvic structure could cause all sorts of problems.  He also warned me that this was the first time he had ever carried out the procedure and that the bone could grow back.  I have a 5cm scar in my groin to show for my sins and yes, I believe the bone has grown back (2 years after the op) so it wasn't really worth all the money.

There are a couple of things I'd like to add here.  Firstly, the area is called the "mons pubis" and "mons" means "mound".  A mound is like a little hill, so why are we all adamant that we should be completely flat in that area when even the name of the body part suggests that we SHOULD stick out there?  Instead of thinking there's something wrong with us, maybe the women who are flat down there that are the weird ones, not us.

I have had my share of sexual partners and not once has anyone ever made any kind of negative comment about my mons pubis.  On the contrary, they seem to like it.  I've tried to say I look abnormal but they say they don't know what I'm talking about because I look perfectly normal.

When I complained to the surgeon about my bone still sticking out after the second op, especially when lying down, he called one of the nursing assistants into the room and asked if she would be prepared to lie down so he could prove something to me.  To my astonishment this attractive, slim girl lay down flat (she pulled her trousers down far enough so I could see her "area" in her knickers) and yes, her mons pubis stuck up just as much as mine.  I was actually quite astonished.  The difference?  She considered herself perfectly normal and didn't give any time to thinking otherwise.  The older nurse said we all look like that too.

Someone posted a link to a Wikipedia entry with a photo of a woman and I look just the same when sitting the same way (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mons_pubis).  The photo is there to illustrate what a mons pubis looks like, not what an abnormal one looks like.  The description even says, "In human females this mound is made of fat and is supposed to be larger" so the poster who quoted a source that said the mons pubis is supposed to be flat is just plain wrong.

[roofiesandcoke]

F

[roofiesandcoke]

For the record I am 5'10 and a solid 220 lb... And have a prominent pubic bone and a stout mons pubis
.....oh and btw don't tell anyone that im learning to except this body that I have and ****, more cushion fo the pushin :p

I'd just like to say that I too, am a victim of my own self depreciating  ways and that this shame we feel is entirely a projection of this fictional image we call beauty.

I have spent years ignoring my body and at the same time, ignoring my sexuality because of this disillusioned perception I have of it and I'd just like to say that its time us REAL women start getting REAL with one another

We all come in different shapes shades etc. and although we are so consciously aware of our flaw(s) to the point of personal alienation; out of fear of what the opposite sex might think, that it is us women that set these expectations upon ourselves

Take a gander at a copy of vanity fair or a dept.Store/boutique ad in the daily newspaper.
These corporations are using marketing tactics that are targeted at us and essentially are a generalized projection of how we see ourselves.
Why do men want to wear seemless panties in 4 inch heels? Idk

We want to be flat and how can we deny it?

we like to think that men are the ones on the other side of the room judging us and it is in fact us women!
We let other disillusioned women define sexy and because they think they know sexy, they tell us what men think is sexy

We women are one of the, if not, the most beautiful creatures on earth
Nothing compares to our beauty. We are supposed to have curves no matter what weight. Regardless! And with this whole ugh I look like I have junk take a moment and just stick a hand down your pants. I'm pretty sure you don't feel a trunk like protrusion. But a smooth FLAT surface. No matter how big your mons is

Ugh I could go on and on but take a minute and indulge yourself and let the feminist perspective sink in....I'm sure it will end the looming I'm afraid of what he's gonna say steadfast

Ps why would you want to remove part of the pelvis bc it sticks out I hope you realize that babies sit in the uterus not the intestinal cavity... A niggah needs room

[izzyizzy]

I have the EXACT same problem and just came across this forum!! I'm so glad there are other people (although I assumed there would be) that feel the same as me! I haven't had time to read all the comments on this page but would like to let you all know I have the same problems with clothes, swimwear (!!!) and boyfriends. Although, my boyfriend now hadn't seemed to notice it, so I mentioned it too him so I could feel more comfortable. If anyone is thinking of doing this or is worried what guys think, my boyfriend didn't seem to give a toss! If anyone does find a 'cure' or has ant tips for hiding it in tight clothes, please let me know! You'd be a lifesaver!!

[ellaSte]

Thank you thank you so much for this forum!
when i saw so many women and girls have the same problem i wanted to cry with happiness. (not that so many people have it-just that i'm not alone)
i can never wear tighter jeans and i always have to wear longer shirts if i do. and the fact that i'm 16 and go to the beach really doesn't help.
i started noticing it when i was 13, and i thought that i was a hermaphrodite because it hadn't gotten my period yet. i only got it when i was 15, and i was so relieved. because i actually thought i was a guy until i got it.
again, THANK YOU

[ukodd]

I am sooooooo glad I have read all this site, I honestly thought I was the only person like this. I wish I knew if there was some sort of medical term for it so I could say that is what I have. I have a teenage daughter and I worry that she'll end up like me!!! I wouldn't wish this on her or anybody. I've even had jokes sent to me showing pictures (clothed) of women with our issue!
I am lucky that like someone else has said my husband didn't even notice, I did once talk to him, but he didn't get why I was worrying!
It is more embarrising in front of other woman to be honest. I haven't told any of my friends, but I think often people look so they must know, but I do my best to hide it.
I managed after 20 years to tell my Dr, she just said oh there is nothing they can do, and sent me away  with no word of explanation or comfort, I had built myself up for 20 years for nothing,I felt so depressed by that reaction. Is anyone else in UK? I would love know someone else like me.
Thank you all for being there!!!!!!
  

[Annie47]

Hi I am also from Uk and have this problem.  I don't like going swimming as in my costume I look like I am trying to hide something like a TV would.  My husband alson doesn't find it repulsive quite the opposite.  But, like with everything other females are the ones to judge ?  I wear jeans but am careful with the ones I buy.  I try on lots before getting a pair that does'nt fit too tightly and are well cut. Smart trousers are harder to find a pair that fit well.  My problem is highlighted by a bad ceasarian scar which gives me an apron of fat which I find hard to reduce even with dieting and exercising.

[Haru_chan]

I'm from the UK too. I haven't been swimming since I was 14 (I'm now 27) because of this - and I used to love swimming! My boyfriend thinks it's silly to give up something I enjoy because of self-consciousness; he believes that I should be proud of myself and not let anyone else's opinion affect me. I really appreciate his way of thinking and the fact that he finds that part of me attractive, but I can't easily get over half a lifetime of hiding myself and feeling embarrassed. I haven't given up hope of surgery to alter my shape, despite wishing I could just relax and not care about other people's opinions so much. If anyone from the UK (or anywhere alse, for that matter!) wants someone to talk to about this, feel free to send me a private message - it helps not feel alone with this.

[izzyizzy]

I was thinking about surgery as well. I know it's the bone that is protruding and I wouldn't want anything cosmetic done to that, but I have a bit of fat on top of mine and I think maybe if that was removed it would make a noticeable difference! Does anyone else have a fatty bit on top of the bone? Or is everyone else just skin on bone? Sorry if that's a graphic quiestion!

[Haru_chan]

I have a fatty pad on top of the bone, but I think all women do to some extent. The pubic bone always protrudes a bit in a normal female body and has a fatty pad for protection during sex; however in some women either the bone is more prominent or the fatty pad is bigger - or both. As far as I can make out, this isn't a deformity or a severe abnormality; just a variation in body shape, like having a large nose or long legs or broad shoulders or big boobs, etc. The thing is, I don't think I'd mind as much if my issue was not liking my nose as that's a more socially acceptable area to be concerned about and much more easily fixable (if you can afford surgery, that is!)

[akurashera]

hai. has anyone found a real answer yet? im desperately searching. i cnt take it? y am i lyk this? i thot i was the only and i hav had no one to talk to. only pepo tease me and put me down.

[clareyx10]

I know this doesnt actually solve your problem but I have the same one and find that wearing smaller knickers makes the mound look smaller when im just in my underwear. If not, there is a 1-2 hour cosmetic procedure, just liposuction, which works and costs between 2000/3000 pound (UK) hope thats usefulx

[mary755]

I have the same thing! I am 14 almost 15 and I'm 5"10 and I weigt 145 pounds. I hate it when I go swimming and it stick out so I cannot lay down flat. But for pants I have got over the fact that it sticks out I'm like I'm going to have to live with it. So if people notice it they do. I wear yoga pants alot and you can notice but I could careless. I am who I am and people are going to have to accept it. But I am scared for when I'm older and start having sex because what if the guy is shocked.. And then tell all of his friends stuff like that. But I guess I'll have to wait and see what happens.

[wtf54]

I'm 27 and have the same problem! I have a great figure and love wearing the clothes that show it off but... when i put my clothes on i have to rethink what i want to wear, i get to the point where i'm depressed over this ****! I hate it! I wear a biniki but ONLY at MY house, there is no WAY i'd wear one at the beach!! tho i would love too but i stick with the biniki top and shorts for the bottom. I didn't have sex with my husband for 3months because of this and he always asked why and i was too embarrassed to tell him.
My husband loves it (Don't ask me why) he is always telling me it's the sexiest part on my body but he doesn't understand how embarrassing it is. As i said i'm REALLY self-consciousness about it, and to tell you the truth i'm sick to death of this bump in my pants!
You know people can sit there and say it's normal when it isn't! When i see a guy laying down you see a bump in his pants ( yeah thats normal) now when you see a women do you see the same thing??? Hell NO!! I'm sorry but i hate my bump, yeah people say love what you have but how the hell can you love something that looks like you have a penis from side on???

[izzyizzy]

I completely agree!

[nicky897]

I had the same prob about 2 years ago, when i had my lipo done, my doc told me he gave me a little gift, for my surprise during my surgery he had taken away some fat from my pelvic zone, he told me it looked like a bump sticking out of my pelvis, so thats it for my problem,  i could use bikini and nobody could tell i have a big pelvic bone, it looks smaller now.
hope it works for you too.

[Jones0411848]

oooh thank GOD i have found people going through the same thing, its just horrible isnt it? i first found out when i was at the gym, laying on my front and the floor just killlledd my vagina. By bone sticks out quite a bit, noticable in bikinis and tights and some dresses, i havent had sex yet, and this is the reason why.

could anyone tell me, i have been stressing about, because the pubic bone is bigger or sticks out more, does it still mean i can have sex? i might sound crazy, but i think that my vagina is all out of whack because of it.

?

[wtf54]

Yes you can still have sex. Might be a little uncomfortable forwards thought, not sure if it happens with everyone but after i have sex the top of my pubic bone hurts.

[wtf54]

Sorry that was meant to be..."Might be a little uncomfortable afterwards though"

[Life818]

I'm glad I'm not the only one! I also have a protuding pubic bone, I am a young female 5'7 and 146lbs. my weight fluctuates alot so that has also left extra fat on that area making it worse! Im so embarrassed to have sex with the lights on because of it. My husband tells me its not that bad and I look fine but I just can't stand it. I know its pretty bad because i cant even wear bathin suits because it looks like i have bulging and it looks so ugly :( when I was younger somebody said, "what r u packin there, what ru a man!!!..since then I became so self conscious of it and I have been doing reasearch to get a fat reduction surgery but I am really scared about the whole anesthesia and scars? Has anyone ever gotten the procedure done, how painful is it and does anyone know reputable surgeons out there with this specialty? Please help!

[Mollyy]

Wow I should have searched this years ago! Ha when I typed it in google I really did not expect to find anyhig..I too thought I was the only one. I noticed it right around puberty and I just felt like it  wasn't right. Looking at my friends in bathing suits or Victoria secret ads, I was convinced I was the only one! I have a twin brother so I really though that maybe I didnt develop how I was suppost to and was totally weird! I don't know if my area is as large as some of the other women on here sound..I still wear yoga pants and bathing suits. I used to play vball and had to wear spandex and I felt different but I just dealt with it. I would say it is most noticable when I lie down flat..so when I'm tanning I always have to bend my legs and I can't stand it! for bathing suit bottoms i always get ones with the ties on the side so you can tie it to be loose and it definetly makes it less noticable. And hearing all the guys input on here made me feel so much better! Ahh thank you :)    

[LC1987]

Hi, I noticed your comment on wondering if this issue would affect child birth. I have a story about that:

I also have a large pubic bone, and I'm not sure if it's related, but after 8 hours of labor with my 1st baby, I was told a C-section would be needed because my pelvic area was narrow and odd, and the baby could not come out as properly and quickly as needed...

So, my 1st baby and my 2nd were both born via C-section because of that area of my body being odd.

Also, to everyone else, if you notice extra "fat" there, it can be removed by tumescent lipo, which may help it to seem smaller.

[ConfusedOften]

You have no clue how much I appreciate all of the comments you all have posted. I too, as most of you, am going through the same thing. I am quite thin. I am thirteen, 5 feet tall, and weigh 92 pounds. I haven't yet gotten my period so before i read all of this I actually thought that I wasn't fully female. I only noticed it about 6 months and have been paranoid ever since. Some tips I use for clothes consist of today's fashion. I like to wear baggy long shirts with skinny jeans or leggings and loose fitting high waist shorts. Thanks to all the guys that showed their support but frankly, I'm afraid not all guys are like this. I am entering high school next year and it terrifies me that a guy might see and tell all of his mates. And then I would become a disgusting joke among all of them. It truly is one of my biggest worries. As for girls, so far only one of my friends have noticed and she was nice enough not to say anything and ignore it. But high school change rooms are a whole different story. But anyways, thank you all for not making me feel like an alien.

[curiousgeorgette37]

As a child the pubic bone is not connected in the centre. As we get older the bone forms to become one, and of course it will shape to the angle that it has been conditioned to. Perhaps you may be able to get a specialist doctor who can safely break that bone in the centre, but you'll have to wear a brace (chastity belt :D) to flatten the pubic bone until it heals and forms to one bone again. A friend of mine had a doctor break her two lower ribs so she could have a tapered waist. She had to wear a corsette for awhile until the ribs healed.

And for your information, I also have quite a pronounced pubic bone. My boyfriend also occasionally tease me about it as it sometimes jabs him when i'm lying on top of him or in other circumstances of contact, but I KNOW it's not an issue that he finds abnormal but more so annoying when it jabs him -- but that's what any protruding bone can do. My strategies when I wear tight clothes (like when I wear a tight dress and the bulge sticks out like I've got a penis) I just stick my butt out more. When I'm wearing a bikini on the beach and lying down I try to face my knees towards each other as much as possible. These strategies has worked for me and makes a big difference! Hope this helps you ladies! And know IT IS VERY COMMON!!!

Wow.  All of you ladies have it all wrong.  For me and several others I know, we all like large fatty mounds.  It's a great turn on during the heat of the moment.  It has a shape and figure and is very enjoying to feel and cup in my hand.  Thick lips too bring the same excitement.  Flat mounds and thin lips just don't get me going.  I don't feel fully aroused with flat mounds and thin lips.  I feel like there is nothing to touch.  Seeing a woman with a fatty mound in a swimsuit is a great pleasure.  It could be the flat ladies are really envious of your natural gift.  Learn to love it and accept it.  There is nothing wrong with it.

[Meee2]

When you say its ok, and its sexy...YOU ARE WRONG.  its not sexy and not ok. ITS ABNORMAL TO HAVE A BIG VAGINA. Do you know how tired I am of shopping, and looking for something that will hide it?  Do you know that most pants are way to flat and tight with in that area, especially with today's style of pants. I cannot take my family to the beach because I cant wear bathing suit.
I  KNOW THAT I MAY SEEM MAD,,,I am mad.
My husband always tells me I'm beautiful, I must admit, I have a pretty face, but down there is the opposite.  He says it does not bother him, BUT why would he ask me in the first few months we were intimate, "Why is there a lump here and  your hole is way back here???"  Then I didnt say anything, I was too embarrassed to even talk about that to him.  When I spoke to him about it, maybe 5 yrs later within our relationship, he denied saying that,then he says that he meant something else.  its pretty obvious on what he was saying.

Sometimes I feel like divorcing my husband and be alone, I think i would be happier if I was alone, where noone would touch me and look at me down there.

Ive been visiting this site about 3 times within this yr.  everytime I read, I cry, I dont think there is a procedure out there to fix this, we will live with this.  Ive given up trying to look nice, buying clothing.  I have really low self esteem.

SO ALL YOU LADIES I know exactly what you are going through, you are frustrated inside, and maybe crying right now.

There should be a live chat room about this and meet eachother online to express our concerns and thoughts because we have bad days and need to talk to someone that truely understands what we are going through.  
These are just my thoughts right now.

[beehappy25]

I have found this very interesting, I too have the same thing and take notice of other woman and have never seen someone else with a protuding bone like mine. I have had 3 babies, my first labour seemed to be progressing along normally until my baby got stuck and I ended up in emergency having a c-section. This was in 98 and the doctor told me that the baby was in an awkward position and there is no reason that I would require another c-section should I give birth again. later on, expecting my second child, the same thing happened and I had another emergency c-section, the doctor gave me the same explanation. 3rd baby, I was booked in for a c-section but my waters broke and labour came the day before my scheduled c-section. I was taken straight in for another emergency c-section and when the doctor was taking my baby out she said I had an Android pelvis and there is no way a baby could come out naturally! (if only I knew this before) She said my pelvis was shaped like a boys! This must explain why I have a large pubic bone. This may be the case for some of you too? I had absolutely no problems at all falling pregnant and pregnancy went along like a breeze for me.
Although I hate the way it looks, the thought of drastic operations scares me and I wouldn't consider it. I know this is the way I will have to stay for the rest of my life, it does seem to be growing bigger and certainly looks bigger now since my babies. If there was an easy way to fix it I'd love to but I do doubt it.
I just always find ways to hide it! I feel for all of you with the same problem but it certainly makes me feel better about myself now knowing that I am not the only one

Hi, im 22 years old and im really glad i found this, because i actually thought i was the only one. I first noticed it when my mom told me why i had a bulge in my pants and i did not know what to tell her. Reading all the comments has made me feel somewhat better. but im still self-conscious about it especially when im with my boyfriend. anytime were intimate i have to keep the lights off and when its day time i pull out the covers. i just dont feel comfortable being naked with him. and the clothes, omg its terrible because when i find something cute and try it on the bulge is there. im just really happy that im not the only one thats going thru this and i really hope there is a painless way to fix this.

[nz11]

I noticed lots of advice about clothing and I agree with the high waisted shorts comment. I didn't think I would be able to wear them but I have a pair of short, high waisted, pin-stripe shorts which completely hide my "bulge" so give this a try! Also with sun bathing, there is no way I would ever put my legs down unless I am alone so I always sunbathe with my legs up a little bit. If anyone questions why I do this I say it's because I'm self-concious of my thighs looking big when I put my legs flat on the ground. If only that were my concern!!

Also I just had to tell someone, I started crying the other day when I went shopping. I have just lost some weight so was feeling really trim and the sales lady gave me a skin tight dress to try on. It looked f***ing hot! (haha I don't feel bad saying this because I'm so proud of my weight loss) But then surprise surprise, I looked down. I started panicking and went straight back into the changing room only to feel myself welling up. This has happened to me before and totally ruined my buzz of feeling good about my body. Sorry just had to get it off my chest.

[nz11]

Also just wanted to ask if anyone has any advice on how to approach telling people about this? I think I could almost handle doctor but my mum and a friend? Feel awkward just thinking about the conversation.

Also, when people say their boyfriends are fine with it, does this mean they noticed it and then you discussed it or did you bring it up with them? Because I have had sexual partners, but am slightly ashamed to say they haven't been long lasting enough to ever have this sort of discussion..

Comments on the "mum" discussion would be seriously appreciated! I'm sure she will be 100% understanding and will be happy I have told her its just a ridiculously awkward thing to bring up!

[sdunn71]

Has anyone thought about contacting an Orthopedic Surgeon(bone doctor)? I'm very concerned about what "beehappy25" said about having an Android Pelvis? What happened to our female pelvis? Why do we have a male pelvis?
If I think about this too much, I get severely depressed. It pretty much rules my daily life. Everything I do is based on my pelvic bone! Worried if someone is going to find out about this thing I'm trying so hard to keep secret.
I'd also like to know what "nz11" talked about. How to tell someone you have this?
And I'm so glad to know that all of you are out there!!! It helps so much!

[aerial827]

I have the same problem and for years i was so ashamed of it but you have to remember that its a part of you god intended for our pelvic bones to be like they are and if a man cant handle it  then they ARE NOT RIGHT FOR YOU!!!!! I am 5'5 and 140 and I have had the problem since I was little but I learned to love myself just the way I am and I found a man that loves me just the way I am but also I do understand how it affects some people some people it really bothers and if it really brings you down and you have self esteem problems then bu all means get the surgery to correct it so you can be happy and confident about yourself but one thing I really want everyone one to take from this even if you dont listen to anything else I say remember that everyone body comes in all shapes and sizes and dont ever think that you are not a complete woman because you are and god choose all of us to have this large pelvic bone for a reason. just for instance I had a child with no epidural my doc said I should have ben in severe pain but I wasnt i felt nothing so maybe the big bone is just for that reason You never know!!!!!!  

[Olive222]

There are so many things I would like to address.

First of all, to the men: THANK YOU.  You don't come across as "pervy" at all, I appreciate your love for the female form in all shapes and sizes.  

Next, I have the same issue, and have had my ups and downs with how I feel about myself.  It kept me from being intimate with anyone until I was 19 because I was so self conscious.  Since then, I have had a few male partners, none of which ever seemed to have any problems with my body.  I asked the last guy about it, and he said that his first girlfriend had a protruding pubic bone as well, and he thought it was so sexy.  I have also been sexually active with women, who I thought would be more critical because they have the same parts.  To my pleasant surprise... nobody has ever kicked me out of bed or seemed surprised or shocked or disgusted.  Keep in mind that everyone has things that they are insecure about, and most people are focused on their own insecurities when the clothes come off.  And I have never experienced any pain from sex because of it for those of you who haven't gone their yet.

That is the only issue I have with my body, and I nearly let it keep me from pursuing modeling in my early 20's (I'm 29 now).  Fortunately, it didn't stop me, and photographers and modeling agents are very very harsh critics... my mound was never mentioned.  I understand that no matter what I say, most of us will always be embarrassed by our extra feature.  But it is important to keep in mind that we are our own worst critics.  Confidence is one of the sexiest qualities that a person can exude.  If we are insecure, it is in our own minds.  Be confident and others will have no choice but to follow your lead.      

Next, I'm not an expert on the topic, but I have a degree in Kinesiology (pre physical therapy) and have been a massage therapist for 8 years.  I have seen many, many bodies, and none of them are perfect.  There are no none surgical fixes, I wish there were.  And the procedure of cutting or shaving bone down is excruciating!!  This bone can not be removed, it would have to be cut in at least two places and realigned.  You also run the risk of losing feeling (is that worth it?).  Liposuction may help a little, but it is not going to make the difference that you want it to.  

An android pelvis is a typically male shaped pelvis.  This has nothing to do with the protruding pubic bone.  It is the angle of the pelvis that makes the hole that the baby goes through more narrow.  So not being able to have a vaginal childbirth for this reason is not because of the pubic bone, it is just a narrow hole and the baby may not fit that way.  Many, many women with a flat pubic bone have an android shaped pelvis and have to have C section childbirth.

There is absolutely no reason that a protruding pubic bone will have any effect on getting pregnant or having the baby vaginally.  As to if it will increase the protrusion, that I know nothing about.        

The only thing I haven't been able to get past is the bathing suit issue... fortunately board shorts are very fashionable right now.

Good luck ladies.  But most of all, just love yourself and be proud of how beautiful you really are.  CONFIDENCE!!!  

[worriedteen13]

Hey,
I am 17yrs old and have the same thing.... I was recently stopped by airport security because of this. they thought i was smuggling something. It was really upsetting and made me even more self concious, what do you tell your friends when you are strip searched by airport security because of your bone structure, you dont want to draw any more attention to it then you have to..... I really hope that there is a surgery which can be done to remove this problem. I am not sure if it is also linked to the PCOS(Poly-Cysitic Ovarian Syndrome) which I also have.
It is oddly comforting to know that someone else has the same issue, and im not the only one ..... I have felt like a freak since i discovered that i was different....wearing bathing suits is absolutly dreadful ..... I have discovered it is super easy to hide if you throw a pair of jean shorts over your bathing suit .... no one notices and u take them off just as you are getting in the water, sure u have shorts tan lines but its not like you are wanting to show off your bikini anyways.....
After losing about 30lbs i thought that i would lose some of the weight down there to but  thats not the case so now i am skinny, stuck with this......
The best thing is to know that you are not alone !!!!!!!
It will be interesting to see if there are some noinvasive treatments for this conditions which apear in the next few years

[Krayons17]

I have the exact same problem, but it's double the size because I can't seem to lose the fatty tissue on it. I'm not as skinny as I could be but even with losing the weight I have it still won't go down. I'm sick of buying long shirts that cover it! :( I'm 15 and I don't want to be covering it all my teens would they do surgery  for a teen?

[cindi71274]

I too had this problem all my life, as a child I got all the same teasing, am I a boy do I have a penis and the like... I have been wearing skirts and dresses for as long as I can remember, I eventually married and had children after my kids I had a tummy tuck and it just made it worse, I have had my weight up and down and nothing makes it better, my bone protudes but after the tummy tuck I had more protusion and after 5 children the fat pad on top is just ridiculous, so today I made an appointment to have it looked at by a surgeon, will post again and let you know the results... sadly it does seem to be genetic, 3 of my girls have it they are now 5, 6, and 17.... all are thin to average weight. when my 17yr old gains weight even she notices that its become a huge fatty deposit and refuses to wear anything clingy. Its embarassing, to never be able to wear shorts or normal bathing suits or pants... I've met guys who love it, most don't mind it, but this isn't about them its about us and how we feel about ourselves...

[funnydown]

I have this too! I am so glad to have read this. It's nice not to be alone. I am self conscious about sex and I too considered whether or not I was really a woman. To make matters worse, I'm only 19 and I have stretch marks too (I used to be fat, but now have a very healthy BMI)! The best solution I have found is cutting off the legs of pantihose to make them like underpants. This works because the pantihose are tight enough to flatten all the fat, and then you have a more "normal", tinier, almost non-existent bump. hen you can wear pencil skirts (god, i love them, and with my hourglass figure I should be wearing them), pants and tight dresses. Only problem is, this doesn't solve the bikini or the sex problem. Are there ANY non-surgical solutions? I feel like they could shave down my pubic bone, but I don't like the idea of plastic surgery at all.

Thanks girls :)

[JB1315]

i have the same problem. im only 15 too will be 16 soon. i don't know what to do about it but i think there should be a solution. im extremely embarrassed to tell anyone even my mom because i know she's gonna say that it's normal. if been scared since the day i saw that fat on my pubic area. the thing i do is pull up my underwear higher than usual and it makes it look small. (i know this might sound weird but it works for me). i want to get rid of it asap. there are other comments as you saw about weight.. im 155 and only 15 that's over weight but im losing weight but i don't see the difference. i started high school this year and i already heard a guy say " look..that girl looks like if she has a ****." it was scary. there should definitely be something that us girls can do about it.  

[Chiaki]

Hah I'm 16 and I can't even let my boyfriend lay on top of me......sumtimes I wanna just take a hammer and smash it til it goes flat....plz there has to be sumthing I can do about it >.< if anyone finds out anything plzzzzz share,I'm currently saving for for the slightest hope sumthing can be done about this disguising bump

[clobo5]

Girls, think its amazing how many people have the same problem as me!! thought i was a lone ranger in this department. Im 21 supposed to be in my prime accept instead of all the nice tight dresses my friends are wearing i have to wear the loose options. Don't get me wrong i can still look good but a change would be nice!! As for swimming and sunbathing, it terrifies the hell outta me i have literally cried before going on holiday (something you are supposed to be exited about) like all of us pushing the bum out is a reglar occurrance but sometimes i feel like im walking like a duck or have pooed myself!!! my hips are also very narrow does anyone else have this problem??

As for the girls who are virgins,  i have had my fair share of guys and none of them have ever said anything about it (even though they could be thinking it) they always compliment me on how 'tight' i am but i dunno if this is just me or the mons helping the sitch haha.

I too want to get it reduced, i think mine is also a combo of bone and fat (healthy BMI) i would like it flatter but even just more of a triangular shape would be nice instead of a bulge of fat. thinking lipo is the answer and am kinda willing to go through a few months of pain if it means my self confidence improves as this is something i have struggled with since i went swimming with my friends and they poked fun at me aged 10. :(

but like everyone is saying stay positive there will be a solution for all of us at somepoint.

[missmosshart]

ive read every single one of your comments and i relate to you all.
i'm 25 years old and i have kept this a secret from everyone all my life- from all my friends, family and even my boyfriend of 4 years doesnt know! (at least i dont think he does) it took me about 3 months to pluck up the courage to sleep with him and all through that time i kept thinking i was going to have to end it because i couldnt bring myself to let him see my mound! before him i had slept with other guys but always kept my skirt on and was always drunk after a night out!!- not many times mind! but i never thought i could have a boyfriend with my problem and of course i had needs just like every other girl.- i even used to date guys but not sleep with them even when i stayed round theres and they would get so frustrated with me- i really liked them but i had to dump them because i was too scared to have sex and i was heartbroken. in the end i just used to keep my knickers on and told him i was just shy! this went on for a year and a half! then we split up for quite a while coz he left me for another girl! i was devastated and secretly wondered if it was because i couldnt satisfy him in bed- but we did used to argue an awful lot so i dont know. anyway we have been back together now for a couple of years and i now take my knickers off after gaining confidence in our time apart- but i wont let him look down there- ive never told him not to but its like he just knows not to coz he thinks i'm shy! maybe he knows i dont know but still- i cant stand the thought of him ever knowing my secret and thinking its disgusting or something.
i first noticed it when i was about 10 years old at swimming lessons in school- 2 of my friends pointed and said i had a big vagina- i had never been so embarrassed- i think i had sort of noticed it before then but i hadnt realised how bad it was until it was pointed out- and then i became obsessed with it!
it gets me so so depressed and i find that i think about it everyday. i had no idea it had a name until i found this forum and i didnt even really know it was the bone sticking out that was the main problem- i thought it was mostly just fat!- which is disappointing because i had my heart set on lipo! but people on here are saying that theres nothing you can do about the bone and one person even said that she had the bone shaved but it grew back!!! i feel so unlucky to have been born this way- even though i am very happy with the rest of my body and feel lucky about that and my face (except my nose is slightly too big but i do seem to get alot of attention still- some guys seem to not even notice my nose at all and a couple have pointed it out to me- one was on a date and he said i had a **** nose!! and the other was in a bar and he said i'm really pretty but its just my nose is abit too big! so those comments were devastating enough without having this protruding mons pubis!!! not to mention the fact i'm only an A bra cup size! but if there was only one thing i could change about myself it would be the bone mound thing. :(
i also had another experience when i was younger in 6th form college- a group of guys in drama class- i one of them looking down there when i was stood up and then pointing it out to all his friends and saying it looks like theres a bump or something! i quickly pushed my bum out and i dont think they knew i'd seen him point it out. i was wearing jeans- i dont wear jeans anymore unless i wear a long top or dress over them.
i hate windy weather when i'm wearing a skirt or dress and its blowing towards me so that it accentuates the bump- and only last week i'm sure i saw a man looking at it and frowning :(
i am just absolutely fed up of it now- and actually i did laugh at a few of your comments but only coz i related to them and i'm just getting to the point where i'm so delirious about it- i dont believe any guys dont think its weird and i'm sure they would prefer it nice and flat and normal.
i'm still hopefully one day going to save enough money for lipo- even though some girls on here have worryingly said they were turned down for it coz they apparantly didnt have enough excess fat!!!- how do we not have enough excess fat down there??!! we have more than normal women down there ! what more do the doctors want us to have if we are to have surgery!
i cant and wont believe that i am just stuck with this my whole life now- after i have spent 15 years waiting for the time i have enough money to just one day be rid of it with lipo. surely it cant be that difficult? i cant be stuck with this forever surely????
i just want to have a normal sex life and feel sexy and confident in my clothes and underwear/swim-wear, etc. i just want to feel normal- especially because both my sisters are absolutley stunning like monels- literally. ive always felt like the ugly one and i get compared to them all the time- and they both have flat mounds and big boobs with small noses. i am the youngest and feel like i was cursed with all the worst genes because they took them all lol. BUT it could be worse i know that and i am grateful for what i have. i just wish my insecurity wasnt in such an embarrassing place!! but then again- at least i can cover it up the best i can - like at least i dont have a freaky face or anything like that. :)
oh yeah- my labia is also too big aswel- and i feel like the lips are too haha! god.
i just need this sorting out while i'm still young and attractive then i can feel sexy for once. i dont want to have to hide it from my boyfriend :(
there must be something that can be done- ive tryed lifting the fat up and seeing if i had that as surgery it does look flatter. or if i push it all down that seems to make it look abit flatter too- surely surgeons cud try something similar- or even just cutting it all off- i dont care if i lose any feeling down there- i'd rather look normal.
i need to know how much fat you have to have down there in order to be eligible for lipo down there????????????????
and people are saying lipo isnt worth it coz it doesnt make much difference- but it must make some difference!! i pray!
also- where would the scar be if i had the lipo done?- would my boyfriend see it? because if i had lipo and it was successful i would want to show my boyfriend so that he doesnt think i'm hiding anything down there (which i am and he might even think i am but wont say anything). i long to just have normal sex with my boyfriend and share all of me with him instead of holding back. :( and i want to wear what i want when i want and not have to hold my dress/skirt forward when its windy so my bump doesnt show!
i'm even scared about asking and showing a surgeon about it incase they think its horrible or weird.
i'm even too scared to have a smear test and i'm meant to have one now that i'm 25- and i always dreading turning 25 for that reason!! i thought i'd have it sorted by now but nope! its still there!
my boyfriend once asked me to have a shower with him and i had to turn it down- how depressing. it stops me from living my life and even stops me from feeling motivated to do anything- i think- whats the point i'm a freak.
on top of 'the bump' i was always bullied throughout school for being so quiet and shy- so thats given me low self esteem and the bump does not help. i even remember one boy in school saying that no boy would ever go out with me. and i always thought that was true especially because i thought i couldnt let myself ever get intimate! over the years since then my confidence and people skills have come on heaps and bounds. but still i am so very insecure because of my protruding bone problem.
i always found that manic street preachers song very fitting- the one that goes- ''and i wish- i had been born a girl- instead of what i am''. haha
well god bless you all and thankyou- i hope you all keep posting and updating us on any surgery you have tryed/found out about, ect..

[smokaya]

This thread is now 4 yrs and going, and I'm surprised Dr Oz, Doctors or any show hasn't covered it.  I think that it's an issue now cuz of the advent of magazine models and bikinis, when for thousands of years, women wore frilly dresses/skirts that didn't show off their bumps so they didn't have comparisons!

If anyone pays attention to the Yahoo ads, there's a "prominent" one promoting vacations featuring a model in a string bikini, and she does have a bump. So I guess it is not a hindrance to modeling at all.

[ohcalcutagirl]

1st; I am male 59 and simply a fan of all things VULVA,
My wife  IS THIN  5' 6"  (2.5 cm =1 inch= 165 cm)  weight  117 lbs (1 kilo =2.2 lbs)
I have been amused for at least an hour; so thank you all
IF I MIGHT SUGGEST (a little smarter than most; IQ 97%)
The internet offers UNLIMITED KNOWLEDGE; start with female anatomy
for instance if u can't name and understand at least 12 parts to the lower female sexual and reproductive; THEN STUDY A LITTLE
for the PUBIC BONE see a (Gyno and Plastic Surgeon) and Shrink
REMEMBER one must actually qualify as Dr. before going on to Psychiatry  
for instance u have;  pubic symphisis ligament  and MANY MANY other very integrated nerves and muscle systems in the pelvic area that is why asking Doctors is a good idea
and FORGIVE ME but a simple way to see for yourself what is normal; RESEARCH go google
type in; porno, spread labia or large clits etc. (for instance; do u know clits may be from smaller than a pencil to big as a thumb and very much resemble a small penis)
I think u will find it informing ( I must've viewed 10s of 1,000s)
AND BTW there are PLENTY of men that'l find all sorts of body differences interesting and attractive; DON'T BE SO SUPERFLUOUS (when u find a guy u like; u will find he likes u a whole lot more NAKED) and u both will feel great
good luck

[berrball70]

I too have the largest mound.For years I would deny this to myself until one night at a party two attractive men who were talking to me started laughing and one whispered something to the other.I asked what was so funny and he asked if I had a **** down there.I cant even begin to describe the feelings that washed over me.I have not looked at myself the same since.To make it worse years later my husband commented that i had a fat one.When I look at other women that is the fist thing I notice.How normal they are.And Im not talking about camel two either.That is totally different.My dream is to be sitting on the beach my legs spread apart talking or laughing easily not worrying if anyone is noticing this large head betweem my legs.Hmmm is she transgender?Hermaphrodite?Those things a least have a reason and explanation.I have never seen anyone like me or pictures.I cant believe how flat and smooth some women are. all across the board.I ask myself,why?At least I now know I am not alone.

[Sweet1247]

Im 13 yrs old and i have this problem. Im 5'4 and about 105 pounds. This problem in my life has made my self esteem so low. I cant hang around my friends without being jealous cuz they dont gave this prob. I cant wear a bathing suit without shorts, shorts(and its always super hot here), or any tightish pants and i get shirts thatll b a bit to big to make sure my prob is covered. I hate this and i wish i could lay down without seeing a bump there!! I wish i wasnt embarrased about my body! Ive Sorta told my friend about this but im sure she doesnt understand. Sooo many girls are lucky they dont gave to go through this everyday.  I wish it was gone!!!!!!

[saraL99]

I too have a very large pubic bone. It protrudes through all clothes I wear to the point where I can't wear 50% of my clothes or it'll look like I have male parts! Not only that but it's very FAT down there. THere's so much excess skin that when I actually push down on my mound, skin pushes down as well. I think I too have a fat mons pubis as well and it looks terrible because I'm WAY too skinny! I'm 14 years old and almost 90 pounds, also 5'1" so I literally have no skin on my bones. So what the weird thing is that it looks super odd having so much fat down there and such a big bone protruding with that while I have extremely skinny legs and a flat tummy. It doesn't seem fair because I'd at first thought that I was such a lucky girl to be so thin but down there is absolutely HUGE! And on top of that I have a large labia so my labia minora (majora? I don't know) hangs down quite far, so as you can tell already my lady part looks disgusting. What can be worse? Big mons pubis? Protruding bone? Huge vagina lips? Fat vulva? I hate it so much!! I wish I was normal!! I hate seeing all the models on these advertisements in bathing suits looking so pretty and are able to wear bikinis without looking like they have a penis. The other day when I was in the mall trying on a bikini, I actually started crying in the dressing room because I looked like I had a huge penis!! Last year while on vacation I refused to go to the beach and ended up not swimming the whole 2 weeks. Even when I go into a jacuzzi or a hot tub with friends or family I wear shorts, like swimming trunks to hide it better, and my friends/family always ask me "what are you hiding?" and "why are you wearing shorts?" even while changing at school before gym class, I knew I had to take off my jeans to put on shorts, but there were about 20 other girls in the changing room too, so I tried to do it as fast as I could (it seriously didn't help that I was wearing skinny jeans..) and while I had my underwear on, I heard a girl not too far across the room go "what the.." and I saw her glancing at me and whispering to her friend something and they were laughing at me for a good 5 minutes and telling people what they saw. Nonetheless I got questions even by guys saying "are you a girl or a guy?" and I almost burst into tears. I've had enough with this thing and I feel like it's ruining my life. I can't wear my favourite jeans anymore because its gotten so prominent it'll look even worse. I always stare at myself in the mirror before taking a shower and I feel literal disgust while looking down there. Then I did what I NEVER thought I would ever do; I stood in front of the mirror, picked up a magazine by the toilet with celebrities in their bathing suits, and looked at the side-view ones, and broke down while noticing theirs were completely flat and mine looked horrifying and like a huge bump. Even when I'm sitting down I can feel how huge it is! I mean when I'm laying down then it looks ENORMOUS!
And I thank the men for their support on women's problem with pubic bones, although I for one aren't yet ready for any relationships for at least a few years so I don't exactly care what a guy would think, I just care about how *I* think about my image. And I hate it so much that every night I press down on that area so hard that it feels like i'm going to break my hand but I try everything. I can't wear cute clothes and have to wear supper baggy clothes. It ***** that almost all clothing especially pants made for women are tight as hell on the crotch region. I have to wear really long shirts if I do decide to torture my vulva and wear skinny jeans. This is the worst thing ever. I don't care if I'm 14, I feel like I need surgery to fix it. I'm tired of people commenting on there and looking like an idiot in a bathing suit that I can't wear anymore. Then again I only noticed this about a year ago, I probably never looked down there much before.
Also, I used to hunch over my back a lot and I get back pains very often.. Could this be related in any way to my pubic bone sticking out so far? I don't think its because I'm so skinny.. because I see girls that are even thinner than me and don't have this problem.
I just want my self confidence to be in the "content" zone for once!! Omg, if anyone knows any procedure that could somehow flatten down there - I would be forever grateful. I've read close to all of these comments and I guess I'm a little happy knowing that there are girls like me out there, but it also saddens me that it's quite uncommon and that I don't know anyone PERSONALLY that has this that I can relate to. I mean I've talked about it once to my sister who's 2 years older than me but she doesn't have it and she said she thought it was "kind of weird" on me. Please if someone could reply to help me with this I would be VEEEEEERY thankful - getting rid of this would change my life and I'd do anything, ANYTHING to not have this anymore!

Ain't you glad its not us guys that are endowed with such a bump...imagine all extra pain you would feel out of all our humpin...as though the size thang werent enough pain for some of ya...so just lie back-love-n-joy instead of being a humpty bumpty!

Ain't nothing more delicious in a guy's sensuous repertoire like a mouthful of fleshy, juicy, even bony, mons-pubis to pound on and munch to his delight...so lament not my dearies..it's the Lord's delightful garnish on Eve's curvacious creation!

Amen!!!!

All is not lost on the bathing suit prob.  Dark frilly bikini skirt bottoms are your friend.

I'm male and to be honest I really don't know how I ended up here. But I did and after reading any comments by other males although I agreed with them admittedly they did nothing but make me feel uncomfortable, like although they're interested they're maybe not the type of guys the girls concerned on here would want to meet. I'm a quite modest guy and I think it's important to mention I'm only 23 so I'm relatively young(something I got the impression no other males who commented were), so I'm supposedly at my most judgemental and I have to say whatever your own feelings about having a large pubic bone are(which are of course more important than anyone else's) as far as guys are concerned you have it all wrong. I don't want to go into any detail, I just don't feel that's appropriate when your talking about something concerning real feelings, but it is honestly one of the most sexually attractive features a female can have. And speaking from my age range of guys, I can promise you I'm not alone in this opinion. Most importantly you have to feel comfortable with yourself, you could have the most attractive body in the world but if you don't like it there's no point, but don't let the reaction of potential partners be what holds you back, because most likely they will be grateful. Especially if they have any experience. Anyway I hope that helps and wasn't to disturbing or irrelevant to read(given that as a male I cannot actually relate the problem itself). I meant well. :)

[Snife]

The teenage years are hard and as mentioned before what you think of yourself is the most important. But if you meet a guy with any level of maturity he won't care and if he has any experience he will be over the moon. Although you might think all those things you mentioned would be unattractive to guys, if they have any awareness of the pluses the features provide you may have a hard time keeping him back. I hope my honesty wasn't to unappealing, just thought it might help. :)

[adiesimba]

Apparently new research just came out...you are not born with that. This aint for your viginal ears if you are 23 years and below! You might growl with laughter ladies...but this is what came out of the research bag:-
"Menacing"mound syndrome'...Known in Latin as "Mons pubis exageritis"You mould it yourselves women! If very active sexually in your younger years all that banging...sends signals to mother nature that more cushion is required down under...it comes in the form of fat...or when fat is hard to manufacture due to metabolism...Calcium kicks in..and bone mass develops! Yes fat can definitely comouflage it.It works even for the guys by the way...but no guy wishes to have an apparent retraction of his sex machine!
Apple falls on the head and...E=MC(squared)....!  go easy on the humpin you high metabolistic bio-physical chics...and you might find the demand for bone mass to go there is less.Only YOU can judge for yourself whether you are highly sexed or not.Now that is dealing with the causes...and not the symptoms.Have you ever heard a guy complain during sex..."Ouch!! What a  f#%**&g pain in the crotch?....If he has...HE IS JUST NOT THAT INTO YA!
Let your MOUNT OF VENUS get a rest...if she had ears...she would ooze of moaning..AND groaning from all these complaints! We guys...for the umpteenth time ain't got no problem with it at all...ever heard a guy complaining about his exaggerated Gonads? What a laughing stock he would be eh??

Wow. Im a 25 year old female. I was looking up info on the pubic bone when I came across this. I had no idea women thought it was a problem to have a large pubic bone. I myself have a pubic bone that is fairly large.  The men I have been with would always comment on how sexy they think it is.  My ex just could not get enough of seeing me in undies or tight pants, have me laying on my back and seeing it popping up.

[adiesimba]

There you go! Way to go wowman!!! Celebrate it with gusto!

[staceyva]

Hello! I am 17 and I cannot remember a time when I did not have a protruding pubic bone. The majority of my "bulge" is indeed the bone, but some of it is fat. I used to be very self conscious, especially in jeans, but this thread has helped me become more comfortable in my own body.
I go to the beach every year and I never hesitate to wear my bikini (without frills or a skirt), but I rarely lie down on my back.
I consider myself to be a virgin, but I have had oral sex with three guys before, (so you may or may not consider me to be one). None of them brought it up and they all still talk to me, so I guess it didn't scare them away!
It is always upsetting to see that none of my girl friends have the same protrudence (haha, just made up a word), and I often find myself staring at people in bikinis to see if they have the same bone structure as I do (which seems really weird and I catch myself feeling really perverted). It's difficult having this bulge especially because there aren't any celebrities that I know of with the same problem, but I do not think that it is anything that we women should be ashamed of.
I would just assume that any guy who is shocked by the size of your mons simply has not been intimate with enough women to appreciate the variety of female anatomy.

Here's a pic of Deborah Kara Unger in the film Crash, with a noticeable bump down there: http://www.*************/image/DEFQPVsE.jpeg

Even movie stars have them! :)

[Giraffe2222]

I have a larger pubic bone also but I've never once felt insecure about it or had to change my wardrobe. Don't ever let a small insecurity run your life. I can't even believe you guys are considering plastic surgery on something that makes you, YOU. not to mention larger pubic bones make it easier to have kids. I call it a blessing. Learn to love yourself girls, THAT IS CHEAPER SURGERY THAN PLASTIC SURGERY.

[julietteS]

omg okay so mine is similar, except mine isn't like a bone.. it seems like it's just fat that's making the lump in my pants and it's reallly embarrassing :/ i don't get how the "bone" sticks out cause i've felt it.. and it feels jsut like fat/extra skin or something. I hate it. I understand y'all. I can't wear bathing suits or sexy lingerie, guys have dumped me because I won't get sexual wth them even though i really WANT to and I like them, i'm just too embarrassed.

[anandi11]

Hi I am from INDIA. I am not happy to know that there are so many in this world suffering from this problem. I wish god gave this abnormality only to one or none. After closely going thru the thread i now understand that there is actually no solution to this problem. I wonder when i will be dead and lying straight on my back at that time the whole world will come to know about this abnormality which i had been hiding all my life.

my husband finds the bump sexy. I had a normal vaginal delivery without any hassel.

However, I will appriciate if anyone can tell me if the thing grows as we grow older?


Anyone from india having the same prob. or i am the only one representing my country?

Sometimes i feel the women are your worst enemy i have always got a negative/awkaward comment from women but not from men.

Hope mons pubis become a fashion rage one day.....and we could flaunt ours without any fear or inhibition.  CHEERS & KEEP SMILING...

[orvous]

I am 23 years old and noticed I had a protruding vaginal bone when I was quite young, round about 10 or 11.  It does affect your self image growing up because you can't wear the same outfits as everybody else and you become quite self conscious as you don't know if it's normal but I am very lucky to say that I'm very much over the worry.

I have been intimate with a few men already and not one of them have complained, they actually love it.  It's different and lets be realistic, men love that part of our bodies, so the bigger the better.  I have also learnt what to wear and what not too wear.  I wear hot shorts instead of bikini bottoms and preferably black as it camouflages quite well.  I do wear leggings but I just wear a bit of a longer top.  It doesn't hurt during intercourse as I see many young girls ask this.  The only time it does hurt is if the guy grinds you as the bone gets a bit sore or if you lay on your stomach on the floor, I mean it is protruding after all.  

It doesn't get any bigger, at least mine hasn't.

Don't allow this to mess up your relationships.  Be open with your partner, I tell them about it and allow them to make the choice and trust me if they are into you, they won't even hesitate for one second.

I hope this has been helpful :)

I dont know if this will help but,i have the same problem and did research, and, found that even though u technically dont need a labial rejuvenation, as long as the plastic surgeon does this procedure, they will do be able to do this procedure...its about $2500.00...good luck!

[howtofeel]

this really isnt something to give reandom ideas to and no offence but you should have read what you suggested before giving false hope.
thanks for trying to help tho.

[AllieCat08]

I have the same thing guys. I noticed it when i first saw other girls naked. I was always really skinny growing up and so since my boobs and stomach were flat you could really tell that it protruded out further than most girls. I always hoped that as i gained weight it would kinda blend in but even now if im in a bathing suit i feel very awkward and when i lay down flat its even worse. Anyway when I was growing up no guy ever had any complaints or even said anything. Now Im 26 and married and my husband has never complained but sometimes when when I'm wearing jeans he'll grab me close to him and he be like "ow, you hit me with your bone? is that a bone? your so boney..." I felt so un fem! I thought I was the only one untill i finally found this blog. I feel better to know Im not the only female in america to have this. Wearing a black bathing suit does help. And a long shirt doesnt hurt. Anyway ladies, your not alone!

[countrygirl2107]

If you gain weight does it also get bigger??

[manthink]

From a mans point of view, I find it incredibly sexy, so I have a hard time understanding. One picture of a very large was labeled God's Artwork

I have a protruding pelvic bone, but hey if you don't love yourself no one else will do it for you first. I think that women believe this sticking out bone is problematic, and an issue, I've even herd people thinking its cancer. ITS NOT. its perfectly normal. ^ the guys seem to love it also! The reason so many people thinks its not normal is because advertisement industry. our TV screens project 'perfect' images of what women should look like in a bikini. All men's penis' are different right? so are women vagina's and so is the placement of our pelvic bones in our body.

[karylov]

Hey Girlfriends,
I am really disappointed in some of you being embarrassed for who you are and that´s not fair at all, you should thank GOD for who you are because look at us we are one hundred in a million to have the same situation and yes i have the large pubic bone too but am not embarrassed of whom i am because i know i am not a freak but the difference is only one thing is that we are embarrassed, ashamed, scared, unhappy for who we are but NO that´s not the solution, you know what? there is no difference between a person with a big nose, mouth, legs or ears but you should also know what is the difference here again it´s that they are not ashamed for who they are but look at all you who are embarrassed  to do what life can offer and yes when you first know that there is something different about you, you can freak out especially when someone tells it to you then let me tell you about me, the first time i realized that am different in some way it was in a boarding school where all girls could take a bath in one public hall then one girl shouted to others like look this girl has a fat virgin a, i felt so down but how i kept on growing up with this fear of people noticing my public bone i could wear large clothes, do exercise and even i did not want people to see me dress or shower but when i thought about it why should i loose my life time opportunity just because am a little different while out there somewhere in this world someone could do anything to become me so i became proud of who i am and knew that am the unique girl, that´s when i also knew i had to live my life with no fear. I now wear any ******* thing i what and when people stare i do not care because you might not know what they are thinking maybe they wish they could ever find a girl like me but where or i would give anything to hook up with that girl so stop the negative thoughts about yourself and live your life because just think if people like us were not ashamed of who we are and just bust in public with whatever clothes, people could not judge us but even see it normal but hiding who we are does not solve anything only makes girls like us see that we are the only one in the world. If we want people to treat us normal then let us not hide who we are in whatever difference we have. Just try to image we all pop out into streets with no shame, people would now understand that it´s normal and if only you could see me exploring this world right now with no shame because i wear anything i want like all fashionable clothes whether tights, shorts swimming costumes, skirts and every clothes i could wish for even if my thing just pop out i do not care because i wanna rock this world but not the world rocking me out.
Listen, surgery won´t help you out but bring more effect to you or give less life to live in this world so love who you are and do not let fear overcome you because the sooner the better and if you do not want to enjoy yourself then keep hiding but for i am gonna pop till dawn and the time you wanna try to rock the world then you would realize it´s too late to try. Just sit and think so many people in this world have more further problems then this but do they stay and hide with large clothes whether it´s cold or hot NO!!... They stay and enjoy their life the fullest just like me, people appreciate and love me just the way i am and not what am trying to be, because this one thing can change you to success or totally failure so choose which direction your going before your too late.
And for those who think that public bone is not attractive their wrong because boys find it more sexier than you can image and so many boys would love to try you in any excuses they could make.
So just give yourself an opportunity chance to make a difference, i know at first it will be so not wanting to do it and feel all eyes on you, but the second day courage will grow inside your heart and in the third day you would find yourself having one hell of a time without getting stressed out of people looking or judging you behind your back TRUST ME it works and if you try but it does not work out that means you haven´t try hard enough.
And if you would come across someone who makes fun of you, just smile and say THAT´S WHAT MAKES ME MORE UNIQUE and AM SO PROUD BEING ME but IT´S SAD YOUR MISSING ALL THE FUN like ALL THE ATTENTION THAT COMES MY WAY even LEAVING QUESTIONS UPON THEIR HEADS!!
Do not waste the time you have because this might be the moment to shine on. BELIEVE and FAITH in YOURSELF, do not let one thing take you down.

[Dradvice]

So I have good news. I came to this website because an old boyfriend of mine was explaining how one of his ex-girlfriends had a large pelvic bone and he loved it and it felt better to him. SO I looked up photos.I myself do not have this problem, as a matter of fact I get complaints that mine is to small! Anyway I noticed alot of the girls on here seem to be under 25 who are worried about this  First of all you must be in several serious good relationships to even start to enjoy sex and know your own body and a mans body and how men feel. A one night stand with some 22 year old in-expierenced man who has not seen alot of vagina's isnt going to get you anywhere but feeling low about yourself. If a man/woman makes a comment, they are to young or in-expierenced to know any better. I went to my husband after reading all your comments and showed him the pictures yall posted and asked him if he thought it was gross. He shrugged and said no not really everyone is different. I pressed him further and he said if he was in love with a girl, her pelvic bone would not be a deal breaker! I even asked my mom and dad, we are very open about sex etc. My Father said he has had all kinds of different va-ja-ja's including women with large mounds. He said it didnt make any difference. Men seem to be happy if they have a warm body under them and if the women is being pleased. So more expierenced men could care less. However I do understand how yall would feel about the clothing, bathing suits etc. I wouldnt like it either. I know one thing, WOMEN are the ones who would be staring at it and judging it cause women are just that way.Catty. If a man was looking he would be thinking sexual thoughts. Trust me! If a man sticks around after sex and loves you, then he could care less about a large mound. He probably loves it. Wear clothing that covers it and be happy and be comfortable in bed with your man. I have been around the block and have known so many many men and had dozens of male friends and each one of them had a fetish. One guy liked a small clitoris while another guy said he liked a huge one. I had several men comment to me that my lips were not puffy enough and my clitoris to small and hard to find, but they still  stuck around. Other men just loved that it was so small and tight. Men are just weird. Trust me if you act like you are turned on and take caare of yourself and are a feminine looking woman they wont care as long as they can get it in, they are happy!!!!!!!!!!! Alot of you girls will get older and think Jesus why did I fret about that all those years. Wait and see! I do understand your concerns however. The women on TV, in magazines, are NOT average normal women. It gives us all a false view of how we should look. The Playboy girls are so covered in make up and lighting and they photo shop big time. I think they are way more than 20% of women who have this. Everyone I asked said yeah I had a girl like that, it was all good. My husband said a woman with a flat mound would be a turn off. My girlfriend always fretted about how plump and fat her vagina was, and her boyfriend just loved loved it. He would talk about it during sex and thought it was the best thing ever. All the women on here will be married one day with kids and a man who loves them to death. Trust me

[fallaspen]

Hi Lady,

I just want to say,your absolutely fine with this protruding pubic bones and you should feel sexy about that. Anybody saying you have a big fat vagina is an idiot and and not educated about female anatomy. Actually, you probably will benifit from this wide big pubic bones when you have a natural birth in the future cuz the baby will come out easier from a wider pubic openning and you will suffer less. I actually wish I had a wider pubic bones and pelvis and bigger hips.Dont take any plastic surgery. Your born with such frame and just love your body as it is and dont try to change it a bit only because some idiots comment on it with silly words.

[JayLynn1230]

Well this issue is more of an issue in predominately caucasian circles I have the same thing but never seen it as an issue I even got phat tattooed and believe me urban men white black hispanic they more times than not prefer it and it's revered rather than shunned just like curves so love urselfs and take pride in ur differences rather than be embarrassed

[Kathleen00012]

Its embarassing, its like its a buldge and my worse nightmare is for someone to wonder if im a guy because of it. its real big and i never truly noticed it till my boyfriend grabbed it and starts saying how i have a big vagina because of it. It gets me mad i wish i were flat. I got lipo in the area but i cant even tell it was done, yet i have the scars to prove it and its squishy flesh, so the doctor didnt address the area how i would like so i wasted a big load of money which im still in debt for. sometimes i think its the Hanes underwear i wear, because it almost encourages the buldge because the outlining of the underwear tug and the cloth parts are loose.

[Svoloch88]

Honestly I'm a guy and find this very hot and stimulating. Find someone who loves u with w/e differences u have, differences are, after all, what distinguish us. Be more confident about it and tell anyone who makes fun of u for it to get a higher education and outlook on life. Don't let this get u down, know that there are people out there who may be into whatever u wish to get rid of.

[fexus]

hey, I'm a guy and I love large pubic bones how they bulge through tight dresses and so on!
you girls may discover that there are several celebrities for example who don't seem to have any problem showing their mounds to the world:
Audrina Patridge - many photos in tight dresses where she clearly shows off a nice hot bulge
Sarah Hyland - Halloween episode and some other photos
Ashley Greene - peoples choice awards 2012 - wow
mmm, love it and I hope more women with beautiful large pubic mounds will stop worrying about them and stop trying to hide them with shirts and **** like that! If you have a large pubic bone and would like to look extra hot, wear a tight dress, skirt or anything else that shows off the mound. I would love it and I'm definitely not alone!  
There are just a few people who may have given rude comments about protruding mounds, somewhere, sometime. They are the ones initiating your insecurity. But come on, are you gonna have a **** life because of that little bunch of insecure minority of people or are you gonna make the rest of us happy by being hot and confident? Think about it, all you gifted girls!

[mocha78]

I appreciate everything you said!!!  Really, it does help a bit...
But the years of feeling different and "ugly" because of something we can't change is going to take a long time to get over... if at all.  There is something you can do for pretty much anything about yourself that you don't like, except this.  No surgery will fix it.  (so I've heard).  
No one  talks about womens mounds... They talk about boobs, *****, legs.... everything else.  And no one is going out of their way to "show off" a bulge.  
Sorry to everyone else, I don't mean to speak for anyone but myself here...
=)
