I don't know how to put this other than just coming out with it so here I go. What happens to your private area when you lose wieght? I'm talking about the mons pubis and the labia majora. Do/does they/it shrink, snap back into place? Does it depend on the person? Has anyone had surgery to help with loose skin or fat in that area? Sorry to ask this but no one seems to ever talk about it and it's something that can be a concern for a lot of people so as embarassing as it may be, if those of you with experience wouldn't mind answering this question, I for one would really appreciate it.

This is another one of those things that really depends on the person, how elastic your skin is, how long you've been overweight, etc., etc. I know another site I've been on that's mostly women has discussed it in the past and the general agreement is ... every one of us has had different experiences.

As with all the rest of the skin on your body, your best bet is to make sure you drink lots of water (hydrated skin is healthy skin) and use moisturizer (all over) and exercise. A lot of people see changes in their skin for a year or more after they reach their goal weight, so don't give up or think that nothing will ever change.
