The labia minora vary widely in size, color, and shape from individual to individual.

The length of the labia minora can be very different from woman to woman. In some, they are hidden completely by the labia majora (top row). For others, they are longer and clearly visible even when the woman is standing (bottom row). The vulva of women in the top row are often called "innies" and the bottom called "outies".^[3][4][5]
