someone posted a similar topic recently so it must not be uncommon! it must just be how you are. if you are worried about how you look then talk to your boyfriend about it and explain your concerns. if you are sexually active with him then i'm sure he's seen you down there anyway! i don't think anyone's going to mind.

Well you can't do anything about it. This is just how your body is made. We are not all porn stars with bleached vulvas. Yours is perfectly normal!

too much shaving may lead to darkening.. try not to shave it so that you can hide it.. just shave it once a month..

Do you have proof of this? Men shaving their face does not make it darker. Women shaving their legs and armpits do not make those areas darker. So why on earth would shaving the vulva make it darker?

Answer: it won't. She has a completely natural vulva; many of them are darker than the surrounding skin. Then then inside is normally light pink or red.

Shave as much as you want. It's not making your vulva dark - your genetics are. This is how you were born.
