Many women grow up worried that if they have too much sex, they’ll be dubbed “loose.” This can have two meanings— it can be a metaphor for a woman who sleeps with a lot of men or it can be a literal term for a woman who has a “loose” vagina. But can this actually happen, or is it just a term society has adopted as part of a never-ending quest to slut shame women? Here, experts weighed on in the facts of the matter and were able to put these rumors to rest.
Vaginas. As women, we put our vaginas through a lot. They get poked and prodded at the gynecologist, stuffed with tampons during our periods, babies come out of them, and most of all, they get manhandled during sex.
Stretch. One of the biggest misconceptions is that a vagina stretches out and never goes back to its original size. However, according to experts, this isn’t entirely true.
Rubber band. "The vagina is basically a muscular rubber band that stretches during sex and returns to its original shape and size. It's pretty impossible for sex alone to permanently stretch out the vagina,” says Dr. Michelle Metz, as reported by the Daily Mail UK.
Expanding. The only time your vagina will change in size is shortly after losing your virginity, which is when your hymen breaks, expanding your vagina opening, reports the Daily Mail UK. Your vagina can also stretch during sex to fit your man’s member, but it goes back to normal once sex is over.
Everyone is different. Of course, every woman is different so some women may find that they naturally have wider vaginas than others do. This can also be true for women who have already had children.
Births. ”Body parts are different sizes in different people. Someone who has had vaginal births before is going to be different from an 18-year-old virgin,” continued Dr. Metz.
Worrying. Unfortunately, women have been conditioned to worry about every inch of their bodies, including their vaginas. They assume that everything from the way they smell to the color should always be perfect, but the truth is no vagina is the same and chances are yours is just fine.
Kegels. "While most women worry more about the appearance of their labia, some worry that they are too loose,” Dr. Jennifer Wider told the Daily Mail UK. Luckily, you can do kegels in order to help strengthen your pelvic floor muscles.
Self-conscious. All in all, it’s safe to say that your vagina doesn’t stretch because of sex, but you will see changes if you’ve had a vaginal birth. However, experts agree that it isn’t anything to worry or be self-conscious about.
Not permanent. "The vagina is an incredibly forgiving area, very rich in nerves and blood supply . . . so traditional penile-vaginal intercourse isn’t going to cause any permanent stretching, although things stretch at the time of course,” says ob-gyn Alyssa Dweck, as reported by Health.com.
Minimal. Even when it comes to child birth however, your vagina isn’t going to stretch like a parachute. The changes are minimal says Dweck, no matter how big the baby is.
Normal. “A 10-pound baby could pass through the vagina, and although things may not go back to 100% the same after that, they sure go back to almost normal,” Dweck tells Health.com.
Men. And if you’re worried about whether or not a guy can tell if you’ve had kids or slept with a lot of people, you have nothing to be concerned about. For the most part, most men won’t notice.
Virgin. “I think guys can tell when a woman is a virgin, and they can probably tell if someone's had two babies or have had a vaginal birth. "But I don’t think they're really going to notice much of a difference . . . unless a guy has a really small penis,” says Dr. Sherry A. Ross, as reported by Health.com
