How big is big...: Since 16 year-olds haven't had the opportunity to compare a variety of labia sizes, it is difficult to know what a 16 year-old means when she says "large labia." The best thing to do in such a situation is for her primary care doctor, or her Ob-Gyn doctor, to do a thorough exam of her labia and surrounding areas. That's because the doctors have seen hundreds or thousands of labia in their careers.

Many variations: The hormones of puberty effect people differently based on an interplay of genetic factors. The labia minora can vary from tucked in small to elephant ear large. They can be equal in size or one side larger than the other. If you find yours difficult to manage for clothing selection or comfort their size can be reduced in a simple procedure by a gynecologist or cosmetic surgeon.
