Closeup of enlarged labia, standing. Elongated labia (also known as sinus pudoris or macronympha, [1] and colloquially as khoikhoi apron or hottentot apron) is a feature of certain Khoekhoe and other African women [citation needed] who develop, whether naturally or through artificial stretching, relatively elongated labia minora, which may hang up to 10 centimetres (4 in) outside the rest of ...
Elongated labia are perceived to facilitate orgasm and female ejaculation, and are considered to enhance sexual pleasure for both partners. [1] Women who have unequally long labia may increase the size of the shorter to achieve symmetry. They also swell inwards, partially blocking the entrance to the vagina.
The internal surface of the labia minora is a thin moist skin, with the appearance of a mucous membrane. They contain many sebaceous glands, and occasionally have eccrine sweat glands. The labia minora have many sensory nerve endings, and have a core of erectile tissue. [5] Labia minora are pronounced differently in different women.
The same can be said for genitalia, including the labia, which are the inner and outer folds of the vulva, consisting of four “lips” — the labia minora (inner) and the labia majora (outer ...

The length of the labia minora varies significantly between women: while the labia majora completely enclose the labia minora in some women (top row), in other women, they protrude and are clearly visible in an upright standing position (bottom row). Colloquially, these variations of the labia are also referred to as "innies" and "outies".
Research indicates that the vestibular bulbs are more closely related to the clitoris than to the vestibule because of the similarity of the trabecular and erectile tissue within the clitoris and bulbs, and the absence of trabecular tissue in other genital organs, with the erectile tissue's trabecular nature allowing engorgement and expansion during sexual arousal.
