NEW ONE: Women Now Chopping Off Their Labia So They Can Look ‘Good’ In Yoga Pants

Love working out in skin-tight clothing, but hate the thought of anyone knowing you’ve got a vagina under there? A bunch of rich ladies in New York did, so they went down to their local plastic surgeon to get those pesky hangy bits trimmed off. Death Mag reports:

Yes, really. According to a trend story in the New York Post, at least a small number of wealthy New York women are getting labiaplasty so they can look “sleeker” in their lululemon athleisurewear. A report from the American Society for Aesthetic Surgery claims the procedure — which costs $5,500 to $7,500 and puts the lady in question out of commission for about three days — has seen a 48% rise from 2013 to 2014.

Some of the women are motivated by “practical” reasons, like the painful “internal twisting” that can occur when someone with an outie works out in extremely tight pants. “I often used to get caught up inside myself and it hurt,” one satisfied customer told the paper. “But I never like wearing exercise outfits [that] are too loose.”

Yet more ladies just want to avoid “camel toe” when doing yoga (or whatever) in their trendy uniforms, or feeling “self-conscious” in front of the servants who remove all of their body hair. “Make me look like Barbie!” is something someone literally said to plastic surgeon Dr. Richard Swift. She said it “with a laugh” like some sort of crotchless psychopath. Namaste!

Not to sound like a floppy-vagged pauper, but I’d take a nice, roomy pair of generic training pants (and nine months’ rent) over a scalpel to the junk any day. In other news, Peaches’ “Vaginoplasty” has never seemed so necessary or relevant.
