One in six people with vulvas reported feeling anxious or
embarrassed about the way their labia looks. The recently published
Labia Diversity Report from Women’s Health Victoria surveyed 1,030
women and people with labia aged between 18-50 about how they feel
about their labia. They found 31% of those surveyed associated
their labia with words like ‘weird’, ‘disgusting’ or ‘ugly’ and one
in four Gen-Z were anxious about the way their labia looked. In
this special bonus episode of KICPOD, Laura sits down with Ellie
Sedgwick, from Comfortable In My Skin, a platform where she shares
photos and stories of the enormous diversity of labias that exist.
Laura and Ellie discuss how Ellie went from contemplating a
labiaplasty to taking photos of labia for a living, where the
pressure to have a perfect labia comes from, and why no one needs
to be ashamed of how their labia looks. FIND OUT MORE Read the
