The vaginal is naturally elastic, meaning that it can stretch in certain situations, such as when you have sexual intercourse or give birth. However, it doesn’t take long for the vaginal muscles to return to their usual shape.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The pelvic floor muscles surrounding the vagina may weaken over time, which can happen as you age and after having children. We refer to this as vaginal laxity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This article helps you understand what causes loose vaginal walls, provides you with helpful tips on how to tighten your vagina naturally and what to avoid for vaginal tightness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Causes Loose Vaginal Walls?<\/b><\/h2>\n

The common factors that can cause your vaginal walls to weaken are the below:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sexual Intercourse\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

When you’re aroused, the vaginal walls tighten and you can engage in penetrative sex. Then, after sex, the vaginal muscles go back to their original shape.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Many people think that sexual intercourse weakens the vaginal muscles, but there is no evidence that sex causes vaginal laxity over time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, sex can cause the vagina to open more, but this is temporary. The same happens when you engage in sexual activity for the first time – Penetrative sex can slightly stretch the hymen, a thin membrane around the vagina, and as a result, many women feel that the vagina is more open.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, if vaginal laxity is something you’re worried about when you have sex, you may try different sexual positions. These can sometimes change how tight or loose a vagina feels.<\/span><\/p>\n

Childbirth<\/b><\/h3>\n

During childbirth, the vaginal walls may tear and cause the vagina to become loose, as the vaginal muscles have to stretch to allow the baby to pass through.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After childbirth, the vagina shrinks back, but it may not return to its original shape during the pre-pregnancy period. Also, the vaginal muscles may lose a little bit of elasticity in women who have had multiple childbirths.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Aging<\/b><\/h3>\n

As we age, it is normal for our muscles and skin to become less firm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When you’re going through menopause, your estrogen levels drop, and this causes the vaginal lining to become drier, thinner, and less flexible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As a result,\u00a0 you may experience discomfort during sex, as there isn’t enough natural lubrication. Some people use a lubricant or a hormonal cream if sex feels different, as these can help make sex more comfortable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
