Why is my vulva stretched out if I have not had a baby or my first period?

Lots of girls notice their vulva looks different from what they expected, and that is normal. Every body is different, and the inner and outer lips can vary in size, shape and length. Some girls have lips that look longer, softer or more stretched out, and that can simply be how their body is built.

Your body is still growing and changing, and the way the vulva looks can change over time as puberty goes on. You don't need to do anything to make it look a certain way, and nothing is wrong with you just because it looks the way it does.

It's a good idea to talk to an adult you trust, like a parent or a doctor, if you feel worried about how it looks, or if you notice pain, swelling, itching, redness or any unusual discharge. A doctor can check and explain what is normal for you, and asking them is a good idea. Your questions are always worth asking.
