Then there's the other category, cosmetic procedures marketed to perfectly healthy women.

So the labiaplasty that's done for symmetry, there's clitoral hood reduction, vaginal rejuvenation.

That's where the line blurs between health and culturally desirable aesthetics.

And you were grateful.

Yeah, porn has pushed this narrow, ideal vulva look.

Hairless, small, barely visible labia.

There's one acceptable model.

But most vulvas don't look like that, and they don't need to.

And then labioplasty, that can be medically necessary if a woman experiences pain during exercise or sex.

Exercise.

Yeah, things are moving around down there.

Yeah, it could be painful.

But a lot of these procedures have become cosmetic.

They're driven by comparison, probably some shame.

So if you're considering a procedure, just ask, is this solving pain or function?

Or am I trying to look like an unrealistic template?

Oh, man, it's a whole industry selling insecurity and not just through procedures.

The products pushed on women to fix, tighten or clean their vaginas.

It's outrageous.

Is there maintenance required to have a healthy vagina?
