Is my vagina normal?

We all feel self-conscious about something, but no one should feel bad or uncomfortable about their genitals. All genders are welcome to read and learn. Things that are NORMAL about a vulva:

  • Skin can be darker

  • Skin can be lighter

  • Labia minora (the inner folds of skin) can be longer or shorter

  • Labia minora can be wrinkly

  • Labia minora can be lopsided

  • Labia can have little dots that look like white pimples—these are sweat glands (Fordyce spots) and are totally normal

  • Clear-white vaginal discharge every day is normal

  • Discharge may smell a little sour or vinegary
