Help! My Swimsuit Irritates My “Outie Vagina”

Summers in Texas are all about keeping cool. That means staying hydrated, shaded, and making the mad dash from the shuttle stop to the river float as quickly as you possibly can! But if you’ve been noticing a harsher, intimate chafe as you rush to relief, it may be because your swimsuit and your labia aren’t getting along. And if you’re keeping smart and spending your days through September underwater, that irritation can add up. 

So what’s going on? Even if your normal underwear doesn’t bother your labia, it’s not unusual for the rougher, clingier fabric of a swimsuit to rub you the wrong way. Innie and outie vaginas can both take issue with a swimsuit that’s the wrong fit – especially when combined with wetness, chlorine exposure, and more. But because your labia are made of more delicate skin than your vulva, anyone with a “barbie vagina” will automatically have an easier time with swimsuit fabric.
