WHAT EXACTLY IS
Vaginal Bleaching?
Vaginal bleaching, aka “vaginal lightening” or “intimate area lightening,” entails using a specialized treatment to lighten the labia or general bikini area, Michael Cackovic, MD, an ob/gyn at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, tells Health. “The name implies lightening the vagina itself, which is inside the woman’s body, but this is not the case,” he says, clarifying that the procedure focuses on the vulva (the part of a person’s genitals that exist outside of the body).
Much like anal bleaching, vaginal bleaching can be done with a laser treatment or topical creams that are applied directly to the skin, Jessica Shepherd, MD, an ob/gyn in Texas, tells Health. In general, the vulvar area—mainly the labia—ends up looking brighter or lighter as a result.The results, however, don’t usually last very long, Ife J. Rodney, MD, FAAD, founding director of Eternal Dermatology + Aesthetics, tells Health.
“As the darker color of the vulva is actually the normal color, these skin bleaching procedures may only give temporary lightening,” she says. “Once you stop using the creams or don’t continue to get chemical peels consistently, then the darker color will return.”

WHY WOULD SOMEONE
Bleach their vagina?
“It’s purely aesthetic,” Shepherd says. It’s “not uncommon” for labias to darken with age, especially in women with darker skin tones, Cackovic says, and some women may not like to see that change. It’s hard to say exactly where the idea that a vagina needs to be lighter or brighter comes from, but Shepherd says the porn industry may have something to do with it. “We get social constructs in nudity in the adult film industry that make people think the vagina should look a certain way,” she says. Some women also tend to think that a bleached vagina makes them “look more youthful or attractive, and so they bleach it,” Lauren Streicher, MD, a professor of clinical obstetrics and gynecology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, tells Health.
But, from a “purely physiological perspective,” Shepherd says that there will usually be areas of hyperpigmentation that can lead to darker skin in areas where there are usually hair—and that that’s totally normal. Those dark spots are also not a bad thing. “All vulva, perinea, and labia are unique to every person,” Shepherd says. “Having it a little bit darker doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s unhealthy or unnatural. People should feel empowered by how their bodies are in a natural state.”
