What is considered the normal size for the vagina? To give an accurate answer, not only could it prove to be difficult, but the chances are high in upsetting a lot of women if they have an issue with the size of their vagina. Women are funny creatures that frequently worry over the least little thing involving parts of their bodies. If something appears slightly different from another woman's then more times than not they worry and think they are abnormal in some way or other. The vagina is high on the worry list that cause women unnecessary fretting. Aside from vagina size common queries involve, vaginal infections, vaginal itching and vaginal odors.

I am sure you're fully aware no woman is the same; they may appear so in many ways but very much different. Women differ in shape, height, how they handle situations, size, but more so in their personalities. This is why we have "certain" women worry over specific things while other "certain" women who when faced with the same specific things don't batter an eyelid.

Before we address the matter of what is the normal size for the vagina, we first have to find out what is meant by normal. Every vagina is normal, and the only difference you might see is in its appearance. Some vagina's may "look" big if the woman carries excess weight, while the thin womansmaller. In relation to the above question I assume you refer to the more intimate side of the vagina i.e. tight or loose. The vagina is an organ of the body that comes in different shapes and sizes, just like pubic hair does in color; however the vaginal walls don't change there all elasticity, so a definite size for a normal vagina can't be given.

Vaginal size

The result of a relaxed vagina sees vaginal walls subside into each other. Diameter is less than 1 inch and the length approx 3 to 4 inches. Size of the vagina alters when it prepares itself to accept the penis. Around the time of sexual intercourse - diameter of the vagina is not the same throughout the tunnel. The vaginas narrowest part is the opening which widens as it furthers in. Usually the vagina has a size of one and a half inches. The further inside you go the bigger the diameter. Towards the rear the diameter is commonly 2 1/2 inches. Whereas the front wall is 2 inches in length and the back end is 3 inches which gives us an estimated 6 inches. This may be sound like a load of gobbly goop when talking in terms of diameters etc, but I am afraid this is the way a normal size vagina is usually determined.

Your concern if I am right in saying is because you either, have a loose vagina and want it tightening, or you have a tight vagina that you would like to loosen.

Let us direct our attention to the loose vagina and some of the reasons why it feels slack

One common cause is childbirth. Giving birth to a baby can stretch the vagina caused by severe expansion. Women whose vagina has been damaged in delivery practice Kegel exercises to tighten their vagina. Speak to your GP if you have concerns over your vagina being too big or small. If anyone can help correct the problem it is the doctor. You don't have to become a mom to experience having a loose vagina because women in their twenties and under can suffer too. Nonetheless you're not to panic because if you haven't had a baby then it's highly unlikely the big vagina/vulva matter will happen to you. Also to set the record straight, lots of sexual intercourse will not cause the vagina to stretch and stay that way. No matter how many coupling sessions you have it won't affect vagina or vulva size, like childbirth can. Childbirth interferes with dimensions i.e. damaged muscles and other supporting tissues of the vaginal walls. Fortunately women can help prevent the vagina widening by doing postnatal exercises. Ask your GP or midwife who can advise you.

If the vaginal 'barrel' is extremely big then a result of this is unsatisfactory sex for both partners. Also due to surplus width there is a possibility of air getting into the vagina. If this happens then you may face the embarrassing situation of which we refer to as fanny farting. This is encouraged with the in out pumping movement of the penis which causes air build up in the vagina, which on release makes disturbing noises like that of someone breaking wind.

Tighten a loose vagina doing pelvic floor muscle exercises. Make yourself comfortable in a private room of the house or wherever you feel you won't be interrupted.

Squeeze the muscles at the front of the lower part of your body as if you were preventing yourself from weeing and hold this action for 10 seconds then relax, repeat and continue for 5 minutes. You are not to continue if you experience difficulty or feel pain. If possible do this 4 times a day. If over time you see no improvement speak to a gynecologist to discuss the possibility of a 'repair' operation. What this involves is drawing the weakened pelvic tissues together and firming them.

As for the tight vagina, this in contrast to the loose vagina can bring pain in sexual intercourse and other. Statistically it is highly unlikely for a woman's vagina to be too small. The symptoms that could present themselves for what seems to be caused by smallness: is

Vaginal tightness is normally linked to a condition known as vaginismus. Vaginismus affects the vaginal muscles causing them to contract if genital contact is about to be made.

There are several symptoms connected with vaginismus:

Women have no control over these happenings which is quite scary because the symptoms are wholly spontaneous.

Types of Vaginismus

If a woman has never been able to enjoy sexual intercourse (pain free) due to muscle spasms this is called primary vaginismus. Also the type women experience difficulty inserting sanitary tampons. Vaginismus can occur after years of satisfactory sex, and happen late in life. This stage is known as secondary vaginismus reasoned usually by medical conditions, traumatic experience, giving birth, surgery, or menopause. The vagina isn't as quite complex as some women make it out to be when faced with matters concerning it. Ideal treatment for a loose vagina is exercise. Your vagina may seem big because its most probably relaxed. Exercise will help UN-relax.

With the case of a tight vagina we look towards another approach as it being the more sensitive issue. It is the root cause of vaginismus which determines appropriate treatments prescribed or suggested. If an injury/infection is the cause then it's easily treated with proper medication, however if not then treatment changes.

Sex therapy: Your doctor may recommend you see a health advisor who specializes in sexual health. You may be taught some techniques to retrain your vagina to respond to penetration without flinching. It can be costly if you go private for this treatment but it is available on the NHS. Aside from self help your health advisor may suggest

Vaginal trainers are used to help relax vaginal muscles and help widen the vagina. There are 4 cones which look similar to a penis; they come in different sizes. The smallest one is inserted first. Take your time and use a lubricant if needed. Once accomplished you up in size and so on. Some women feel uncomfortable with the cones and prefer the relaxation and touching method Make yourself comfortable and start touching the genitals. If you tense up, stop and try again. Try this for a couple of days before going to the next level which is to try and insert a finger gently inside the vagina. If you've had problems with tampons try inserting one now.

Did you know when you treat your own vaginal infection you rid vaginal odour at the same time.
