Self image issues....

Is anyone else really uncomfortable with how their vagina looks, specifically the mons pubis? I've always felt that mine was grossly out of proportion to my body, and it seems a lot larger compared to what I've seen on other women. I originally thought it was because I was overweight (I weighed 180 lbs at age 16), but I made a major lifestyle change and lost 40 lbs. I've lost a lot of inches around my waist, my tummy is a lot more flat, but I didn't notice any change in my mons pubis. I was sorely disappointed. :( Now I feel even more out of proportion!

Anyone else have self image issues like this?

As far as your weight loss goes, I was under the impression that you can't really slim down the mons pubis area through diet or exercise. There isn't really a muscle there to tone or tighten, as it's just a pad of fat designed to protect the area.
I am a very small person (83 lbs.) and have always had, what I believe to be an overly padded mons. I was embarrassed for a while, because a partner commented on it a few times.
I dropped him, and now no longer feel the need to look like a porn star.
