For women with loose vaginal lips, labia majora or minora or both, the most common concern is the aesthetic appearance of the external genital area. With the current trend of removing all or most of the pubic hair in most women, especially in the younger age group, the look of the external genitalia becomes very apparent. The loose vagina look can become a big concern for many women as they are contemplating sexual encounters. The loose vagina in this category would also cause an embarrassing situation with tight or scanty clothing, discomfort with certain sports activities and even with sexual activities.
This type of larger, loose vaginal lips, with wrinkling and loose skin over the underlying tissue, most often is just the innate nature of the vaginal tissue. However, childbirth, sexual activities, infection, and chronic inflammation may exacerbate the problem. Often there may be a darkening of the skin over the labia, making the appearance even more obvious.
Besides the aesthetics of vaginal lips and opening that might cause concern and self-consciousness, affecting the woman’s self esteem and sexual relationship, there are other associated adverse effects. The excessive loose vaginal lips, if large, can occasionally cause the trapping of moisture and increase the chance of local infection.
A vulva with prominent outer lips will have larger labia majora that are either puffy and thick or thin and a little bit loose. Most often, the labia minora won’t be visible.
Labia majora (the outer lips surrounding the inner lips on both sides) may get deflated, loose and saggy due to several reasons. The vulvar skin may look older due to labial laxity.
