![]() ![]() ![]() If you gain or lose weight, you may notice that the shape of your mons pubis changes as well. The size of the mons pubis varies according to hormone levels and body fat, and there are many possible variations in shape and size the mons pubis can be skinny or chubby, round or flat. The fatty tissue of the mons pubis protects the pubic bone, like a soft cushion. The mons pubis divides into the outer labia on either side the point at which the labia divide is called the pudendal cleft. It consists largely of fatty tissue, and its skin contains hair, sweat glands and many nerve endings, which makes it a sensitive area. The mons pubis (also called mons Venus or pubic mound) is the hairy area above the pubic bone (or the hill at the top of the vulva) and covering the pubic bone (you can feel the bone underneath the soft tissue if you press on it). Learning about diversity will create an understanding and respect for the diversity that's out there ♡ I feel that anatomical diversity should be a fundamental part of any book on anatomy, sexual health education or biology. In my book, A Celebration of Vulva Diversity, I'm showing a variety of vulvas seen from below – in addition to the frontal perspective I usually paint in the gallery. In the following pages, you’ll find a variety of vulva shapes and skin tones – one of these might even resemble your own anatomy. Each and every vulva is unique, so it would be impossible to represent all shapes and sizes in one book. When opening a textbook about anatomy, you may find that your vulva looks different from the vulvas depicted there. By noticing such changes, you’ll be able to get a timely check at your medical health provider if anything seems off. This way you will be aware if anything changes: sudden skin discolouration or moles, lumps or a change in the smell or structure of your discharge. You can explore your vulva with your eyes and fingers to get to know its shape, and even smell your own scent. Not only can it be very enlightening to see it and get to know all its parts, but knowing your vulva is also very useful as you’ll be able to observe possible changes throughout your life. ![]() Do you know what your vulva looks like? An easy way to find out is to take a look using a hand mirror. ![]()
