There are numerous misconceptions attached to vaginal elasticity. Most of them are related to men attempting to slut shaming or trying to make them feel bad about being sexually liberating. One way they do this is by implying that a loose vagina is due to a lot of sex.

If you believe this, then it means that you should limit the amount of  sexual activity  you have, even with your partner, if you don’t want to end up with a lax or loose vagina.

But this is not true. The reasons for your loose vagina has nothing to do with the amount of sex, the amount of sexual partner nor does it have anything to do with the sexual positions you experiment with.

Sex workers like prostitutes and porn stars engage in more sex than the average woman and they do not worry about having a loose vagina.  Therefore you should not worry either.

However, you should know that if you are experiencing decreasing sensation during sex, lack of lubrication or pain this might be due to decrease elasticity in you vaginal canal.

Sex feels better for YOU when your vagina is tight and has a good friction or grip during penetration. The clitoris has the most nerves and therefore more sensation than the vagina canal but nonetheless sensation in the vagina make sex more enjoyable.

So what are the main reasons for a loose vagina?

The two main reasons why a vagina becomes loos are age and childbirth.

  Age

The moment a woman crosses her into her 40s, she suffers from a stage known as peri menopause. Some women can have it earlier. At this age, women tend to have a lower level of estrogen in the body, causing the vaginal tissue to become thinner, more acidic, drier, and highly flexible.

This  causes partial looseness of the vagina. It becomes more severe as you move into menopause due to the low level of estrogen.

Some women also experience early menopause induced by surgery or disease of the ovaries. Since the ovaries produces estrogen, any disease or medication  that interferes with  how the ovaries work can cause symptoms of menopause.

 Childbirth

You increase you chance of having a loose vagina due to pregnancy and  childbirth.

If you have a ever been pregnant them you know about the extra weight that you carry around for months. Furthermore, if you had a vaginal delivery then the trauma of the delivery can damage muscles and connective tissue that supports the vagina.

If you plan to become pregnant your doctor can advice you on what exercise you can do to decrease the risk of this occurring.

You might feel your vaginal muscle stretched after the prolonged labor. However, your vagina will get back to its normal shape after a few months. But, if it’s your third or fourth delivery, then the tightening of the vagina might take a bit longer
