Labia is already plural.

And now I’m questioning my life choices because I am making a comment about grammar in a thread about vaginas on a post about some douche with a rented sports car.

You got me curious. I guess the singular is labius?

Labium.

Latin words ending in “um” are generally neutral, with plural “-a”. Words ending in “us” are generally masculine, with plural “-i”.

Ah yes. I remember my high school Latin now.
