Why Does My Vagina Feel So Loose? How Can I Tighten It?

Just like the other muscles of the human body, the vaginal muscles too are elastic in nature. This means that due to various factors such as aging or other factors, the vaginal muscles may feel loose, although the vaginal muscles tend to retain their original shape and size.

Additionally, aging may also make the vagina feel loose, less flexible, and change its normal pH level.

But various exoperts believe that sex may contribute to the changes in the vagina in the long run. However, there are no major changes in the vagina caused due to sex.
