An influencer has been praised by followers for speaking about having an 'outie' labia in a video shared on TikTok.

What is an outie labia, you ask? Well, Gabriella Scaringe, 24, explains the difference between 'Innie vs Outie' labia in this video, after one of her previous videos sparked questions from followers:

In the TikTok, Gaby says: "So in my last video I explained that I had an outie and a lot of you guys commented and said you didn't know what that meant or what that was.

"So are you ready for your anatomy lesson today?"

Gaby went on to pin-point the differences between an 'innie' vs an 'outie', explaining: "So you have your outer labia and your inner labia.

"An 'innie' is when your outer labia protrudes more than your inner labia.

"So you don't really see the inside stuff or you don't really see the inside stuff as much as you would if you weren't.

"So when you think of innie think of Barbie, think of it looking like a seashell, maybe it's a little bit puffy, ya know... it's cute.

"I personally identify as an outie which means my inner parts protrude a little more than my outer parts. And outies get a bad rep because they're called the Arby's sandwich, or the burger... every panini is beautiful."

The response to Gaby's video was overwhelming, with hundreds praising her for being so open about her anatomy.

One confessed: "I literally cried my eyes out and wanted to get surgery when I was a teenager cause of the hate for outies. We really gotta tell teens more that it's ok!"

Another commented: "I used to try and tuck mine in a lil until I got older and embraced my outtie. Ladies, our bodies are beautiful."

"Girl I actually love this," wrote a third. "I have an innie but I love that you're bringing awareness to this bc ppl really need it."

Meanwhile, one male follower added: "Speaking on behalf of the guys, we really are not fussed, a panini is a panini. Don't be insecure about it, everyone is beautiful in their own way."

What a beautiful sentiment.

Speaking to Tyla, Gaby explained: "I've always been comfortable talking about the things that might be uncomfortable to some - especially surrounding sex.

"I majored in entrepreneurship in college and worked on my underwear line, Cherri, that emphasises vaginal wellness, throughout school.

"I'd discuss sex work, vaginas, menstruation, anything really in class.

"So it only makes sense that labias would naturally be something I'd talk about on social media too.

"The response to my videos has been so surprising.

"I'm so glad that I can make people feel better about their natural anatomy. You are normal! You are beautiful! (Whether you're an 'innie', an 'outie', or anything in between!)".
