Is my vagina ‘normal’?

Women everyday ask themselves:

“Is my vagina and vulva (the outside area below) normal?

There is a huge industry out there to “design your own” vulva and vagina. You may have heard of “hymen construction” or “virginity restoration.” (Note: what is virginity anyway? Click here for our discussion of what is sex?) There are even supposed “tightening creams” for the inside of the vagina!

However, what makes vaginas really exciting is that no two are the same. How yours works, looks, and responds is unique to you.

Many women—including women with DSD—have hidden, small, or shorter vaginas and choose to dilate them to help them stretch. For our evidence based and best tips (plus a step-by-step) on vaginal dilation, click here.
