GIRLS ONLY!!!!! Shaving and puperty questions~
Okay so I'm 13 and my pubic region is a dark brown. I read online that this is totally normal since you started your period. I started my period sometime last year (when I was twelve) in the middle of the school year. Recently this summer (2012) I started using tampons. And even more recent (oct. 2012) I started shaving. I'd like to know when does the browness of your pubic area go away and how can you help it to becoming normal like most girls have it, like your skin color. And how to shave my pubic hairs without infections and irretation and ingrowns and stuff. Also one more question is that one of my flaps (the right one) is longer abd stretched out more than the left one. I'm really scared and I've had it for as long as I've known. No I haven't had sex or been raped, TRUST ME, but I don't know if that's normal or not. Please answer the questions for me please thanks.

Hey chicky!
As the other two said it is completely normal for one side to be longer than the other.
Is the area that is brown always looked like that? Or is it just recent? If it has always been that way then I wouldn't worry because as the last poster said your skin color is just different there. If it is recent maybe you can ask your mother or a doctor. Either one would be able to answer this for you easily.
I find that shaving the way that your pubic hairs grow rather than against it will help against razor burn and ingrown hairs. Use a clean, brand new razor everytime you shave. And I like to use a nonscented shaving cream like barbasol. Even though that brand of shaving cream is more commoly used by men anyone can use it.
Hope this helped! :)

Your flab is called your labia it is perfectly normal for one to be longer then the other.
As for darker skin, Some of us have darker skin pigment on our bodies then other areas. Normal
As for shaving be sure to use a non cut women's razor. I recommend trying Venus [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) you can find this at walmart. As well as women's shaving cream that can help against razor burns.

I'm not a girl however, I do have the answer for one of the questions you asked and hopefully it will put to rest any worry you have about your labia. Quite normal for one to be longer or shorter than the other.
Here's a great article answering all the common questions kids and teens tend to ask about it. It's from Scarleteen which is a resource by professional sex educators and published authors for parents/teens on puberty and sexuality.

As for the shaving, skin colors etc. I know someone else will likely address that but you might find the info you are looking for at the site the article comes from as they do explain exactly what's going on "down there" quite well on the site. Excellent resource (I don't work there) for people with questions they can't ask easily of parents/teachers and 100% verified for facts.
