Dangling Asymmetrical Inner Labia
The clitoral hood is quite long and the right labia is longer than the left labia. She kind of looks like a hooded nun – a cross between a classical and gothic vulva.
Full Inner Labia Prominent Clitoral Hood
This vulva features long, symmetrical labia that go all the way down and around her vaginal opening. It has classical features with labia that are almost renaissance.
Pillow Pussy
This is the rarest vulva style. The outer labia are puffy and the inner labia are sleek – they don’t dangle past the outer labia.
Dangling Inner Lips
The folds of the inner labia are dramatically draped between the outer labia. The clitoris is tucked inside the folds. Gray pubic hair beautifully frames the outer labia. Vulvas never age.
The Clamshell
This vulva style features short inner labia that hang inside the outer labia.
Infinity Inner Labia
This vulva style features minimal inner labia that run around the vaginal opening. Notice how her inner labia are dark and her vaginal opening is pink.
Demi Inner Labia
This vulva style features demi inner labia that stop halfway around the vaginal opening. Notice how her labia have an hombre shading from mauve to brown.
Full Bush Inner Labia
This vulva is a perfect example of the renaissance vulva with full, cascading inner labia. It’s framed with long, soft pubic hair.
Slim Inner Labia Prominent Vaginal Opening
This vulva style features sleek inner lips – very art deco – with a prominent vaginal opening. Notice how her vaginal opening is a series of folds like a inner rose bud.
Demi Inner Labia Prominent Vaginal Opening
This vulva style features demi-inner labia that are a beautiful shade of deep taupe. Notice how you can see her urethral opening – that slight circular indentation between top of her labia and her vaginal opening.
The Black Orchid
This vulva features very full labia that appear like the petals of an orchid. Notice her long clitoral hood.
Slim Symmetrical Labia
This vulva style is quite symmetrical and petite. Notice the soft pink color in the center of her labia.

My Vulva is on Netflix
Last spring, those of us in who are members of Betty Dodson’s “army of orgasmic women” knew that Betty and Carlin were working on a big secret vulva project. In early July, Carlin contacted me to ask if I’d be willing to share a picture of my vulva for the project:...
The Basic Structures of Your Vulva
Betty has championed the distinction of "vulva" vs "vagina" for decades and there's a very important reason. Your vulva is your clitoral glans, inner and outer labia and your vaginal opening. Your clitoris exists solely for pleasure. Women can enjoy multiple...
The Range of Vulva Styles
Back in the 70's, during the Genital Show & Tell ritual in her Bodysex workshops, Betty started identifying the "style" of each vulva using architectural styles as a reference: Classical, Gothic, Modern, Renaissance, Baroque, and the Heart. The women connected...
Awakening the Clitoris
After hearing countless sex histories from girls and women over the past four decades, I believe sexual repression begins the moment a parent or caregiver punishes a child’s natural curiosity for touching their own sex organs. Society needs to understand that the...
