Am I the reason that my pu$$y’s getting darker?

[Caramelpie]

It’s been always white pinkish and I have very good self caring routine for it. From scrubbing to washing to sitting in warm salt bath toto cleanse bad things. To using intimate gel and wipes. I always wax and keep it clean and dry, I change my underwear daily and I use daily pads when I need to. What could I possibly done wrong here that turned the process to something this bad. It noticed yesterday that it got a bit to dark pink and I can’t get over it This is serious matter to me even it looks silly to you. I want to keep it how my boyfriend likes it and how i like it. 💔💔

1. Your vulva will change color as you get older
2. Stop using feminine washes and wipes you don't need them
3. You do not need to use soap down there. Infact you shouldn't. Warm water and a wipe with a cloth or your fingers is plenty enough to clean the area. This is what gynecologists recommend.

[Brown-Kitty]

It’s normal I guess and it’s no big of a deal trust me. Also most guys don’t care or pay much attention to your genitals during sex so, it’s that are very curious and pay much attention to small things.

[Avcfhcic]

I think it's a natural process that's inevitable, but it shouldn't be sudden like it's a gradual change.
by the way, did you used to have another account on this site like before the new year? I recognise you from another profile. Same stunning blue eyes

[Caramelpie]

I had one before but I deleted

[Avcfhcic]

Yeah I'm the same, we used to get along lol I just seen your eyes, the nose piercing and blonde hair and knew it had to be you

Are you talking about the color of the inner lips? If your age on this site is accurate, you are still in the process of growing up. There are still some small changes your body goes through and this could be one of them. Your adult color might be different than what you were used to while growing up.

That said, your care routine looks a bit too much. Cleansing routines might do worse to your vaginal health. You probably know that vaginas are self-maintaining, as in, they “clean themselves”. This includes a certain balance of bacteria that live there and help to keep things in good order. If your hygienic practices alter this balance, you might get nasty consequences like inflammation and foul smell and discharge. There are no “nasty things” in a healthy vagina that you wouldn’t just rinse with water. If you have more than that, you should talk to a doctor.

[Caramelpie]

Not at all my vagina is perfectly health and I have bad smell or any kind of infractions. I use this routine not everyday some are twice a week and some once a month like scrubbing. It sucks that after this hard work i still need to suffer from the color changing there :/ 💔

[PenkWing]

Don’t call it suffering. It’s not a defect. It’s your natural color.

[Caramelpie]

How come that my nipples still pink then? :/

[PenkWing]

It’s a similar tissue, but it’s not exactly the same. Dark skin on the inner lips usually means that the skin itself is growing and relaxing, which is a common change as you become a grown up woman. I would hope that you just embrace it, as there is nothing unattractive about it.

[Caramelpie]

Thank you so much

I'd guess it's age/hormones related. In the end I don't think you should worry about it. Your boyfriend should love it anyway since it's yours. We all go through changes that we think are for the worse but we simply have to accept it. Also you spend a lot of time on this part hahaha, never heard anyone do that. Irrelevant but just interesting.

[Caramelpie]

I have to as a girl and I always to be clean and smell good and that needs a lot of work and good daily, weekly and monthly routine. My boyfriend loves it and he never complained about it but i just don’t like my area to be darker than the rest of the body. I know it’s not horrible and only dark pink but still big deal since i’m used to white pinkish

[simonqq]

Many girls have like this and while porn don't usually have girls like this it's very common in reality and a normal guy won't care. I get being hygienic and that girls requires more care but it seems excessive but if you like doing it and there is no harm then there's nothing wrong in it. Anyway hopefully you will grow to love it again even with these changes.

Do you shave your self? f you do that could be the reason, although most people have darker skin in their nether regions. Your pubic hair provides lubrication so if you shave bare that friction will cause the skin there to toughen and, as a result, darken.

[Pyrofox]

For the most part I think its natural >.> although how hard are you being on it...

Skin darkening on any body part does have the ever so slight chance your simply being too rough with it and its really just bruised. I guess with this latter part just be more gentle I guess when cleaning that area?

[Caramelpie]

I guess it is my fault because i’m obsessed with cleaning it too much.😔

[Red_Arrow]

I have seen many variations on many women of differing ages. It always seems normal, just as different lengths and thicknesses of the lips are natural. Pretty sure nothing you did "caused" this. It is normal. And looks great in any color. Don't worry about it. If your boyfriend is unhappy (he shouldn't be) then he is an idiot.

[ohshee]

Well your boyfriend's just going to have to get over it and if you wants to break up with you over the fact of it let him go because if a guy is going to want to date you or not date you because of that you don't want them in your life anyway but I think you for this question because I just learned something go to couple things first thing is you do take good care of yourself and I think that's cool I hope a lot of women read this question because I don't even know if they know it LOL should I say good job and you're beautiful and you have a beautiful heart so I don't think your boyfriend is going anywhere

[Caramelpie]

Thank you so much. I do like to take care of myself

[ohshee]

When I read that I was just saying this is so cool because I never ever heard about this before on the way you can make it fresher or anything like that so I thought it was very cool I love learning new things and that is one thing I'm really glad that I learned your boyfriend's pretty lucky guy

[spartan55]

What's wrong with dark pp lips?

[Caramelpie]

I don’t like dark

[Rachelspiks]

Maybe this is the sort of thing you should talk to your doctor about.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Each as well as every day you are aging & your taco will change over time as well.

[DonkeyDan]

You're only 18 and effectively still going through changes from post puberty, these changes are perfectly normal for some people. As you mature blood flow to the genitals is increased this can have the effect of the area to appear a darker skin colour as it is more engorged with blood. It's nothing you have done. Although I would cut back on the sitting in salt water, the eco system and pH of the vagina is a delicate balance and too much sanitising can throw that off, but that is going to have no bearing on its external colouring.

[Paige90]

Are just your lips getting darker? Usually with age they get darker but you are too young for them to start. You can get them bleached if you want them lighter.

[Caramelpie]

No not darker it’s getting more pinkish after it was white like my skin tone. 🙁

[t-8900]

you've reached the end of puberty basically so it's probably a change in chemical balance of hormones doing it, nothing more. This happened with me getting dark circles around my eyes later in life.

[CoolGuy7532]

It's probably just due to aging related changes.

[FilmGuy93]

It sounds like your body is just changing... there's nothing wrong with what you're doing.

[Aussie-guy]

Are you engaging in more sexual activity/masturbation than you have in the past? Basically, increased "use" will cause slight darkening of the genitals.

[chriscdi]

You know that there's such thing as caring about your body too much, remember that all these creams and lotions and products can sometimes have harmful ingredients in them, it's why my definition of caring for your skin only reminds me of oils and natural products, I know nothing about pussy tanning but maybe look into some of the products you use to put on your skin, it's why I stick to soap, water and sometimes very rarely lotion, but who knows, maybe it's just something that happens as you get older, if you are really stressing about it maybe talk to a professional, if you are asking us you might as well go to a street doctor and talk to them about it

[TheSpaceGnome]

Not sure if this will help, but https://www.newhealthadvisor.org/Why-Is-My-Vagina-Dark.html

[Caramelpie]

Thank u so much. I’ll take a look at it 💔😔

[TheSpaceGnome]

you're welcome

[Buterflybaby]

Have you spoken to your obgyn? Maybe they know why.

[Massageman]

Don't worry, Caramel. It's a normal process. The vagina and the clitoris DO tend to get darker as the body matures sexually and ages.

[Caramelpie]

I hate it😔

[Massageman]

There ARE "home remedies" that can bleachlessly "bleach" the vulval area. Disclaimer - I would urge you to visit your doctor- an ob-gyn or dermatologist, preferably- for a thumbs up before you begin any of the regimes that might be found at www.mylighterskin.com or any similar websites. And please forget any thoughts of glycolic peels in the region- this IS a mucosal area of the body, not your forehead: very different skin activity.
