They wanted me to do . . . WHAT?! | Source: Shutterstock
I had just made it onto the squad (Go Jaguars!) and we were all being shipped out to cheer camp at a lake house for the summer. A couple of the girls from my grade had made the cut, but most of the team was made up of “cheer vets” who had been in the group for a couple of years already. While I was thrilled to have made the team, the older girls had come up with some “off–the-itinerary” plans that I definitely wasn’t excited about.
They told us rookies that as a part of our new cheerleader initiation we would all have to get naked and go skinny dipping together in the lake. I had never even been in my bathing suit in front of these girls, and now they wanted me to get completely naked with them?
As we drove, the older girls kept talking about all of the times that they had been naked in front of each other. I started to sweat. Maybe they were trying to make us feel more comfortable, but I can tell you, it sure wasn’t working.
“Kristen has the cutest pussy, it’s so small!”
“No I don’t, Emma does!”
“At least it isn’t like Sarah’s!”
“Oh my God hers was so weird, what was all that stuff like hanging down from it?”
Okay, so it’s safe to say that I was mildly really totally freaking out. But it wasn’t that I was ashamed of my body . . . just that one part in particular. My vagina.

How many different ways can a vagina look?
What if mine’s weird?
Did mine have things hanging down that the other girls would laugh at?
What does a normal vagina look like?
Does everyone have a normal vagina but me?
I had never seen another girl’s private parts, not even my mom had seen mine since I was a kid and honestly I hadn’t really inspected my own all that much. But anytime I did look at it, the word “cute” definitely didn’t come to mind. To me, vaginas were just sort of weird looking. I just assumed that how all vaginas looked!
All I could think was “PLEASE DON’T LET MINE BE WEIRDER THAN SARAH’S!”
When the time finally came for us to have our “initiation,” I was super hesitant to undress, but I guess what made me feel more comfortable was that everyone seemed a little bit embarrassed.
When we were all naked standing by the side of the water, waiting for our next cue, I noticed that not a single girl on the squad look the same down there.
Some were hairy, some were shaved, some had longer parts hanging down and some didn’t, some seemed pink and some seemed brown. They all looked so different that it was impossible to compare them! I wasn’t ashamed of mine anymore; in fact I kind of started to like it.
I felt a wave a relief crash over me as I jumped into the lake, realizing that there isn’t a “normal” type of vagina. They’re all different . . . just like girls.
Do you ever wonder about having a normal vagina? Tell me about your own body drama in the comments!
How Much Do You Really Know About Your Vagina?
Supplies For The Dumped 
Your lips down there are called your labia majora and the other inside fleshy (lips) are called labia minora, I have always felt like my minora is bigger than my lips because it hangs out down there, my sisters are not like that so I had a great deal of laughs from them growing up, they always teased me, I have until recently thought it was just me so I am very glad that it is not, it makes me feel better knowing that other women have the same thing, my husband see no problem with it knowing I am self-aware of it, I am finally starting to be comfortable with my body after sitting down and talking to him about my insecurities, I recommend doing that with your sign. other because they can help you to feel more comfortable around them and yes (going down on you), I don’t recommend this but if you have tried and tried to be more comfortable with this and still are extremely embarrassed there are procedures out there that can help correct the “problem”, just look under google about labia minora’s, I hope this helped
Honestly I’m so relieved to hear that others feel the same way as me. I always believed it was because I masterbated, as a child I would do it not knowing what it was and it continued into my teen years until I knew what I was doing but I still continued (I mean come on, it feels good haha). I’ve never been insecure about my body, except for that one little part of me. My vagina. I used to go to sleepovers and the girls would strip to their underwear and have pillow fights (so stereotypical I know) they would always ask me to join but I was so insecure of just being in my underwear I couldn’t do it. I lost my virginity a few months ago to my now ex boyfriend and I didn’t get any complaints or judgements on how it looked but I’m still so insecure. I can’t wear only bathing suits or underwear, I feel so self conscious. The inside part sticks out and sags a bit (I don’t know correct terms). I’m even scared to go to the gynecologist, the vagina doctor for pete’s sake, in fear of judgement. I already have anxiety but my silly irrational fear of my vagina makes any half naked thing a swarm of insecurity. Any advice? Please help :c
Really idc because im a boy be glad ur not a virgin at least
I hate my vagina its so weird looking like one of the
Lips are like longer than the other I’ve had sex and I

My vagina is so weird. It has like a piece of skin longer than the other. ( not the lips but like on the insideish part i guess ) but I’m embarrassed and insecure of my vagina, because of what my boyfriend will think when he sees it. I know he wont love me any less or anything, but its just weird.
And i wash it everyday, but how do you get rid of the vagina smell?
Mines like that too. I haven’t done anything with guys because I’m really self conscious. I don’t know if it’s normal or not, but I guess when I trust a guy enough ill find out? :/
it could be a yeast infection. nothing serious but you should go get it che checked out.
So I’m pretty sure my vagina is really weird cause when I look at it, it’s saggy and wrinkly but when I hear other girls talk about vaginas the say it basically look like a line, so I’m really insecure about mines, I haven’t even had a proper boyfriend before but when I do they will expect me to send pictures and it will end up to sex and I’m just really insecure, help?
Mine is just like that I’m scared to how can u make it sag less
Dont know what you are all worried about your vagina.. the more saggy it is the better. Big lips and that is exciting to me
