No Labia Minora

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

I also have no labia minora. I thought it was normal not to have one until my sister in law was talking about hers... and said it's weird not to have them. I've watched porn before, but I just thought all that extra skin was from having sex all day. I've been searching online for a picture of a vagina like mine, and I couldn't find one single picture. There are lots with little flaps, but none like mine with no flaps. I'm glad I'm not the only one. I do have a clitoral hood, not a big one, but I do have one I think.

For the larger labia'd girls on here, I found more guys saying they liked larger labias. I think maybe the "smaller labia" girls would bash on both the no labia and the big labia girls.

And I do have Native American in me, not a lot, but it's in there.

I am glad to know I am not alone as I do not have an inner labia but neither does any girls on my side of the family and we are native american as I am 1/4 cherokee and choctaw. I am also overweight and have no clit hood. I have two children and thought like everyone else from porn to images of vagina's that I couldn't find one that looks like mine as I have no extra skin. I was going to ask my OBGYN if this was normal once but was too embarassed but also thought if she doesn't say anything like did you know you have no inner labia then it must be normal. I am glad I found this page as I thought for along time that I was the only one until recently I discussed it with my mother who is 1/2 cherokee and 1/2 choctaw and she said she doesnt have one.

I was born without inner labia minora.  I did not know that I was different until having done some research online at various websites...I was just curious about other vaginas... and looking at photographs on this website, www.****.tumblr.com I began to wonder what was wrong with me, none of these looked anything like mine.  I asked my boyfriend and he said I didn't have inner lips... but he said that he loves it that I don't and that I am special and unique and he loves how it looks.  I think everyone's vagina is different, whether big, small, with or without inner labia.

I'm 17 and I don't have a labia minora... and neither does my mother or grandmother, I found out recently. It must be genetic or something. When I was young, I remember that during health, they showed us the diagrams of the vagina and I thought the diagram looked nothing look mine and that it looked kind of gross (no offense, haha). I just couldn't pinpoint what was different. I probably wouldn't have been able to, except for the fact that my mom came home from the gynecologist a few weeks ago and told me that they told her that she had no labia minora and I realized that's what  was different with me too.

Hello everyone. I was born with labia but I had labiaplasty because one side was slighty longer than the other. My gyno amputated me no i have none at all. Is my sexlife over? And do men really care what size labia you have? Im very upset and this has effected me very much.. any opinions?

Boy am I glad I found these posts. I never paid much attention to what my vulva looked like until I watched porn and realized mine didn't look right. I even had a doctor tell me it was "atrophied." Interestingly, I've never had a man mention it.

It turns out I'm just missing the inner labia. I have a tiny hood and a tiny clitoris. I always wondered what women were getting pierced when they get a piercing "down there." LOL. I don't have any extra skin to pierce. I also wondered what the heck it meant when people talked about "beef curtains."

As for it being hereditary, I know my sister has long inner labia and complains about them being painful. So while I'd like to be more "normal" in this department, I guess maybe I am lucky I'm not having pain.

I have no idea if this is related, but I also have very flat, almost inverted nipples. I've also been self conscious about this. In the past I've definitely felt that my "lady parts" are not womanly enough, but I'm working on accepting myself as I am. We're all different and that's a good thing because the world would be a boring place if we were all the same.
