Skip navigation! Story from Wellness. The A-spot is a part of female pleasure that we barely ever discuss, but it deserves its day in the sun. That said, before we talk about the A-spot, we need to have a quick chat about the clitoris. Contrary to popular belief, the clitoris goes far beyond the small nubbin you see at the tippy top of the vulva. The clitoris extends inside the body up to 5 full inches and it is roughly the size of the average penis go figure. It has legs and bulbs that sit under the labia and reach back into the abdomen. Every single orgasm is clitorally based. You heard that correctly. Every single orgasm.

There are lot of misconceptions around how the vagina works and how you should be caring for it. Not that long. On average, the vaginal canal is three to six inches long. But your vaginal canal can change shape in certain situations, like during sex or childbirth. Sexual arousal forces your cervix and uterus to lift up and out of the way, which causes the upper two-thirds of your vagina to lengthen.

We all know that the vagina is a versatile thing; it gives birth to babies , bleeds every month and can give immense pleasure. And such a complex body part has plenty going on behind the scenes, too. Leading intimate health specialist Dr Shirin Lakhani shared the facts with Cosmopolitan UK - from how deep your vagina really is, to whether sex actually makes it stretch Some quick maths here tells us that that's only a few inches, and it's highly likely that anyone who's had sex with a penis, or used a dildo, has had something bigger than that inside her vagina. But, as it turns out, that's because it's basically a tube, which gets bigger when you're turned on - kind of like an inverse penis. Due to its elastic nature it can stretch to accommodate any size penis. The fact is that the two lips of the vulva are not identical on the same person. Just as our two eyes are not the same size, our ears, breasts, and lips of our labia are neither identical nor symmetrical. When hair stops growing in its active phase, it enters a resting phase then falls out. That dry feeling that you get when you remove a tampon at the end of your period could actually be your body's way of trying to tell you something.
Listen, I love Ariana Grande as much as the next girl Girl, are you kidding me? I'd literally rather have any other type of pain than vaginal pain. A stubbed toe? A cavity? Let me keep tonguing that molar. But please, pain, stay away from my entire vaginal area. Unfortunately, you don't get to pick and choose your pain. But you can at least know what might be causing it—which will make finding a remedy for it so much easier.
