One Labia Minora Bigger Than Other

One of the labia minora lips is bigger than the other, it has extra skin and is very dark in colour, and has no feeling. Now the problem is that it sticks out and I'm very uncomfortable with it. It makes me feel akward and abnormal. When I get my period sometime its hard to get the tampon in because it gets in the way and sometimes folds over so I can't get a tampon in and it hurts. Does this happen a lot, and how does it happen? Is there a surgery I can get for this, and should I?

Honestly, I can tell you this as an adult woman . . .  no one really cares about matching labias.  Breasts are often different sizes, feet, etc.  It's not uncommon for one to hang a little more than the other.  And you'd be hard pressed to find a man in your life that will fully notice or care.  Unless you are a porn star taking photos or making movies of the area . . .   it's not like the world judges you on this.  And again, a partner that you have sex with should be one who cares about you and they most likely won't care/notice.  So, try not to let this be something you worry about.  Get a new hair cut if you feel insecure . . .  people see things like your hair. But your vaginal lips are your private area.  good luck

If he truly loves you for you he will not judge you or feel disgusted by it

I'm 13 and I have this too! My left is longer and darker than my right. But I searched around, and it's pretty normal. I'd recommend not going for surgery, it may make things worse in the future.
