Different women may have different reasons for practicing the art of labia stretching however, its origination had a lot of significance and logical reasons behind it. Conceived at a time when people were looking outwards to find more excitement and to be more progressive during intimacy, labia stretching was formed for much simpler and basic reasons by simply making the use of what is readily available, by being natural, by being simple.

The idea behind the propagation of labia stretching in the earlier ancient tribes was that since the labia tend to swell during sexual excitement, longer labia would swell more and in the process, provide more friction for the penis. The labia don’t just swell outwards, they swell inwards as well and that provides for a very exciting stimulation for both partners and not just one. Elongating the labia became an essential practice as it ensured that a man and woman could have great sex even after years of marriage and many children as the elongated labia would always provide for the comfort and feel that would provide the additional friction.

The process of labia stretching was not just a matter of making the intimate lives more enjoyable, it was a path of turning a girl into a woman and began at a very early age (around puberty) for the girls. This practice went on to become a tradition and when a girl would get closer to puberty, the women in her family or a close lady friend would initiate the girl into the practice that she would go on to continue for a very long time. Some women found it so fruitful that they continued to stretch their labia for a very long time until their menopause as well.

The process of initiation had its own reasons, it helped building the community and the young girls would sometimes help each other stretch their labia, helped them be more social and more accepting and also to understand that intimacy is not an aspect to be scared of. The social and cultural angles to this process are quite impressive and have helped the women who practice labia stretching, identify with each other in a stronger way and be more confident of themselves.

Many women today are finding ways to enhance their looks naturally and labia stretching is one of the ways they can achieve that without having to go under the knife or having to spend all their money on plastic surgery if they don’t want to. This is a very natural way of changing the way your body looks and feels, of making a statement, of knowing that you are different and you can take control of your sexual life the way you want to.

It has in fact been seen that in the western cultures, the women find it extremely helpful when the labia stretches post childbirth. The longer walls of the labia help to have more intimate and enjoyable intercourse is what these women have stated. This is also why this custom is becoming more and more popular in the western cultures as well.

The process of stretching the labia is not one of short duration and you will not see the results right away. Since it is a natural process, your body needs to get used to it, to grow the way you make it and to change itself. This is why the process was initially started at a very early age for the girls of the tribes who practiced it as they needed to make sure that the labia of the girls were long enough so they could have a satisfying life. This was really important as back then, elongated labia were much in fashion and finding a good partner and be chosen to wed, depended a lot on the length of a girl’s labia; it was a status symbol in a way.

In many regions, girls still being practicing labia stretching at a very early age and have longer labia as a result. However, in the western cultures, it has been noticed that most of the women look at elongating their labia a little more than the regular and only a few are found to indulge in making them longer and using them as body art to add more to their lives.

All of us know that skin can stretch over time and that is the logic labia stretching works with. The process requires the woman/girl to pull gently at her labia minora which are the internal lips of the labia on a regular basis without making them hurt. They can continue with the process for as long as they would like or until they achieve the desired length. It has been seen that women have stretched their labia from 5 cms to even an amazing 30 cms without the help of any artificial products. All they did was pull gently at their labia daily for a certain amount of time and let nature take its course.

Obviously, if someone doesn’t have the time to sit down and practice labia stretching for long intervals, they can always look at using light weights or things that are available in the market specifically for this purpose. This is how popular this practice is, specially made tools are available to help the women elongate their labia without injuring them, the shapes and sizes of these tools are set keeping in mind the delicate nature of our private parts and our hectic lives. Women today, even wear these tools while on the go without any discomfort and all the benefits of the constant tugging at the labia to make them longer…faster.

The easiest way to stretch the labia is to tug at them every day without a doubt and not to mention the safety it offers. If the labia is tugged at and massaged gently every day then it will begin to stretch out in some time and then can be tugged at till the desired length is reached. The only thing to be careful about is to not stretch it too much or too harshly. Stretching the labia is an art because it cannot be sped up. It is important to remember that these are one of the most sensitive parts of the body and being careful with them is the key whenever we try to make a change to them. Tugging or stretching them harshly can cause tears which can be very painful and may also discourage the woman to continue any further.

There isn’t much information in detail that would help in understanding how to stretch the labia the right way however, it pays to listen to your body and to only gently massage the labia outwards from the body on a regular basis.

There are a few tools available in the market that would help to make the process faster without making it painful or stress the labia and they should be used as per instructions. You could go from using labia clamps which can be very light to heavy duty, you could choose weights, or come up with your own invention if you understand how labia stretching works and can create something that would achieve the goal without harming your delicate parts.

Most of our knowledge about labia stretching comes from the studies that were carried out in the earlier days by various researchers. Many subjects were studied to really understand whether the stretched labia were a genetic difference or were these a modified aspect that could be practiced anywhere.

In the earlier times it was concluded that this elongation was not artificially done and that the Bush women seemed to have this difference right form the time they were born and that as they grew older, their labia would become bigger and more stretched. It was also noted that these elongations were different in different parts of Africa where at some places they were flat while at others they were thicker.

It is also known that the Bush women also used their elongated labia to expose them to the men publically when they indulged in erotic dances. Today, the practice is still very much alive and contrary to popular belief, not just the women in Africa but all over the world, practice the art of Labia elongation.

There are many accounts of African women who have shared their stories of how they were initiated into labia stretching and how the entire process was. Many of them state that a little while after they got their first period was usually when things were set into motion. Ideally, the mother, an aunt, an elderly women in the family or all of them sit the young girl down and then tell them about how to prepare to become a fully grown woman. The girls are explained how to go about stretching their labia outwards for their daily to make them longer. They are also given herbs to help them swell their labia so it is easy to pull them. They are told that the process will help them achieve better sexual satisfaction and keep their man happy.

The story of the women who adopt this practice by choice is different as compared to the ones who have to do it as it is a part of their culture. The African women may sometimes not even be asked if they want to do it, they may not be explained the complete reasons for doing it either. They are just sometimes told what to do and fully understand the reasons once they grew up and became sexually active. It has been found that elongated labia help a lot during foreplay and enrich the entire experience altogether.

It is not alien to us that women would at some point of time, just like men, try to understand their genitals better and this has led to them exploring them and modifying them in various ways for various purposes. Women have made incisions, elongated their labia (both majora and minora), and even tried to elongate their clitoris. Women have also looked at modifying the vagina in various ways; there have been instances of modifying the temperature, humidity, the diameter, the humidity and even the consistency through various means.

Most of the practices related to modification of the female genitalia have been related to either the woman or the man’s satisfaction or that of both. However that is not the only reason women all over the world make changes to their genitalia, there could be reasons surrounding hygiene, the woman’s well-being and even her fertility.

Elongation of the labia minora falls under the category of sexual pleasures and has been known to provide excellent experiences to both men and women. The practice is based on an ancient art and today has spread to almost all over the world and is considered a very erotic practice.

The reason the elongation of labia minora came into being comes from the need to make the process of love making more satisfying for both the partners. Earlier, an African woman who did not have well elongated labia minora would be called cold or even ‘men’ because they did not fit the then definition of a complete and desirable woman and it feels like the trend has caught on where today many women are learning how to elongate their labia minora in order to seek higher sexual gratification.

Before we talk about the different types of clamps, let’s take a moment to understand how they should be used so as to achieve the goal while keeping the labia safe.

If you have never used clamps before or are just starting out with labia stretching then it is a good idea to start with very light clamps that may or may not have any weight attached to them. It is a good idea to get the skin accustomed to the stretching before using heavier or tighter clamps.

While using the clamps, it is advisable to not attach them to the same place every time as that may harm the nerves in the area by consistently restricting the flow of blood to them. Change the place of the clamps every day so as to maintain optimal pressure overall.

It is also a good idea to use a number of light clamps all over the edges rather than just a pair of heavy ones at one place as the former will help to gain more even stretching. If you are looking at only elongating the labia vertically then you may try to use the clamps that help the labia hang down and not stretch them much sideways.

It may be felt that the tighter the clamps are, the better the outcome will be however that is not the case. Tightening the clamps will only cause restricted flow of blood to the labia and cause a lot of pain. It is important to adjust the tightness of the clamps so that you are comfortable and do not experience any pain.

There are a variety of clamps that you can chose from. You can choose from basic clamps to ones that are decorated so even if you wear them throughout the day, you don’t have to be worried about how they look when you get intimate as all they will do apart from helping you stretch the labia comfortably is make them look extremely well decorated. You can even find these labia clamps with beads attached to them for decoration and appeal.

Another type of clamps you can find have adjustable screws to change the tightness and are connected to each other through a string that could be just a metal chain or as elaborate as a chain with beads or even small appliques. Some of these chains can also have pendants on them and are extremely desirable and make the women feel confident of themselves.

One more type of clamps come with individual clamps that can be adjusted for tightness and these have some or the other decoration hanging to them. These decorations could be small balls that won’t just help in making these clamps look beautiful but will also help add the extra weight to help with the elongation. However, be careful in choosing them and only get them if you are sure that your labia are ready for them. These can also be used by the women who have uneven labia and would like to increase the length of the smaller one.

You can also find clamps that come with massagers and will provide constant stimulation to the labia apart from helping pull them.
