Okay ladies, I'm far from my target weight; however, with my weight loss, my thighs aren't rubbing together as they once did. As a result, I swear I now feel that my privates are more prominant.

I can actually feel my privates while I'm walking. Nope, never felt this before the weight loss and it's kind of weird to say the least.

Please tell me I'm not the only one out there experiencing this.

Well, its not something I've experienced with, but it is understandable, do you think it could be something you will just get used to?

Have you grabbed a mirror and taken a look to reassure yourself that all looks normal down there? They are pretty ugly things to look at, lol, labia tend to be quite large, with the inner ones protruding.

You're not having any issues with dryness or anything (might be age/hormone related)? That can make you feel hyper aware of your bits.

Sadly, my thighs still rub together at this point, but when the time comes that they no longer do, I will see what it feels like for me... In fact, I can't honestly say that I remember a time when my thighs didn't rub together... I can't even imagine what it will feel like to walk without that uncomfortable rubbing sensation.

Jachut, everything is perfectly fine down there. I've never experienced dryness - thank goodness. DH says everything looks the same . I think that the lips and overall exterior are flabby just like the botton half of my stomach.

I guess I need to find an exercise that will work to tighten the flabby skin in that area.

I have read that burning fat releases estrogen into your body, I wonder if that could be giving you some swelling?

when you lose weight, you lose it around that area too. I had a friend who said when her boyfriend lost weight it got bigger!

Plastic surgeons "tuck up the labia" just like they do your tummy. Some women have more flappy skin than others. Give it a year after weight loss to tighten up, if it doesn't after a year, then consider surgery to remove the extra skin. It's normal.
