Hey! Regarding the triplets case, it proves a point my mom has made over the years (she's a gynecologist): large labia, albeit perfectly normal as you advocate (she thinks labiaplasty is an abomination in most cases), the cause is most likely NOT to be genetic. Clothing habits are a major contribution (tight clothes, stupid panties), for example. What she regrets is that many aspects of female anatomy aren't studied properly, and this is one example we still know very little about.

Yes, in reality nobody knows. You’re right, too little research has been done into the causes and origins of large labia. I’ve heard enough stories about daughters and mothers and sisters sharing similar looking large labia to believe genetics is involved. To what extent I don’t know.
In “Labiaplasty and Labia Minora Reduction”, Steven P Davison, DDS, MD said “The author’s experience with treating identical twins with the same degree of labial hypertrophy [large labia - Emma] supports the possible role of genetics in the size of labia. No universally accepted definition for labial hypertrophy exists. Furthermore, the appearance of female genitalia is subject to considerable anatomic variance, just as women’s perceptions of what is normal may vary.” And in “Aesthetic Surgery of the Female Genitalia”, Dobbeleir, Van Landuyt and Monstrey wrote “It is multifactorially defined, meaning that also hereditary factors play a certain role. The importance of genetics versus environmental influences has not yet been elucidated.”
I very much doubt clothes have any role in causing large labia.
Girls, get a clue.
I’m a guy, a bit long in the tooth admittedly, a failing that should clearly be shared. But I think I speak for the 99% of us not demented in some way who love you as you are regardless of how that is. Big, tall, thin, short, petite, wide; whatever color your eyes, skin, hair; the size of your ears, hands, lips, buns, boobs – however God or the genetic lottery (probably the same) created you.
What matters isn’t the size of this body part or the shape of that one but the emotions deep within; what makes you special, and precious. Many comments I read reflect such terrible, pointless, misdirected angst wasted on nothing but fears and jealousy.
