Labia stretching, also known as labia elongation or labia pulling, is a practice that has been passed down through generations in certain tribal cultures in Africa. This practice involves the gradual stretching of the labia minora (the inner vaginal lips) to achieve the desired size and shape. While it may be viewed as controversial or even harmful by some, for many women in these cultures, labia stretching is an important rite of passage and a symbol of femininity, beauty, and sexual maturity.

The labia are a part of the female genitals and are externally visible. Women have two pairs of labia called the labia majora and labia minora. The labia majora are the bigger and thicker parts and the labia minora are seen inside the labia majora; these are made of folds of skin. The labia minora in turn covers the clitoris and the openings of the vagina.

The need to feel and be seen as beautiful and appealing has always made us want to do something different, something that makes us not just look beautiful and make us feel good about ourselves but also make us stand out in the crowd. Apart from looking beautiful in a crowd, we have always wanted to be extremely appealing during intimate moments and in front of our partners.

Labia stretching, called Gukuna Imishino originated in ancient Africa and has been practiced for ages to help women and men add a lot of pleasure to their lives. Though it may seem that labia stretching is quite an easy activity this is quite untrue. Labia stretching is an art form where the focus is to help the woman elongate her vaginal lips in a safe and effective manner.
