Women are incredibly sensitive concerning the appearance of their genitalia. Large, asymmetric or irregular labia can often develop naturally with age, vaginal delivery, hormonal changes, or intercourse.

Typically the labia minora can only be seen when a women spreads her legs, however, there is a percentage of women with enlarged labia minora; making them visible when the legs are closed.  This causes many women a great deal of shame and embarrassment, as well as a lack in confidence both emotionally and sexually. These women become very self-conscious even when dressed as their enlarged labia may be easily noticed in fitted pants or clothing such as a bathing suit.  They also experience severe discomfort during normal activities due to the size of the labia.

As a result, many women choose to get labiaplasty, or labia surgery.  This procedure will shrink the size of the labia, thus reducing discomfort and notice ability.
