Recently, there has been a many articles and videos online that delve into the concept of an innie vs. outie vagina, or more appropriately termed innie vs. outie vulva.

The reality is that all vaginas (and vulvas) are different, and all shapes of them are healthy. This is true whether they’re an innie, outie, or somewhere in-between. In this article below we explore the differences between them and why you should be proud of your body no matter where you land on the spectrum.

What is an Innie Vagina? 

Many people are now wondering “what does an outie vagina look like?” What these TikToks and articles mean by their definitions is that sometimes the outer labia are leaner, or the inner labia are larger. This results in the inner labia protruding and can be seen or felt from the outer labia. This can fluctuate with weight gain or loss, and with hormone changes including pregnancy.

What is an Outie Vagina? 

In the instance of an innie vulva, the outer labia are larger or “puffier” and cover the inner labia and the clitoral hood. As with outies, it can fluctuate with weight gain or loss, and with hormone changes including pregnancy.

Innie vs Outie: The Bottom Line

As a physician who examines multiple genital areas a day, we get tunnel vision. If I am examining your cervix, I examine your cervix. As long as everything on the way to the cervix looks healthy, I don’t notice which protrudes more, the inner or outer labia, whether they are paler pink to darker brown, because any of those variations are healthy and normal. I am simply looking for health versus lack of health.
