Self image issues....

[hold-fast.livejournal.com]

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?

This is actually a really interesting question, because I think that's one aspect of the female body we don't talk about much.

Though I've never really thought too deeply about it, I suppose I always found mine sort of uncomfortable looking as well, but for a slightly different reason: I'm extremely thin, and my mons sticks out quite a bit further than the rest of my lower stomach. I always think it looks like I stuffed a baseball down the front of my torso! It's not padded with anything... it's just bone and skin... but it definitely has its own definable shape. I'm sort of used to it though. :)
