Vagina Facts
Things You May Not Have Known
A woman's vagina is often a mystery to even the woman who it belongs to! Because it is not as easily viewable without an awkward position and a handheld mirror, most women haven't a clue as to what their vagina's look like and consist of. The whole area, surrounded in folds of flesh and mounds of hair, may seem confusing as to what is what! Ending the mystery is an excellent way to warm up genuinely to the landscape and the beauty of this territory and that is my hope in writing this article.
Vulva
The external female genitals are collectively referred to as the vulva.

Mons Veneris
The mons veneris, Latin for "hill of Venus" (Roman Goddess of love) is the pad of fatty tissue that covers the pubic bone below the abdomen but above the labia.
The Mons
Is sexually sensitive in some women and protects the pubic bone from the impact of sexual intercourse.
Labia Majora
The labia majora are the outer lips of the vulva, pads of fatty tissue that wrap around the vulva from the mons to the perineum. These labia are usually covered with pubic hair, and contain numerous sweat and oil glands.
Labia Minora
The labia minora are the inner lips of the vulva, thin stretches of tissue within the labia majora that fold and protect the vagina, urethra, and clitoris. The appearance of labia minora can vary widely, from tiny lips that hide between the labia majora to large lips that protrude. The most common metaphor for the labia minora is that of a flower. Both the inner and outer labia are quite sensitive to touch and pressure.
Clitoris
The clitoris is a small body of spongy tissue that is highly sexually sensitive. The clitoris is protected by the prepuce, or clitoral hood, a covering of tissue similar to the labia minora. During sexual excitement, the clitoris may extend and the hood retract to make the clitoris more accessible. Some clitori are very small; other women may have large clitori that the hood does not completely cover.

Urethra
The opening to the urethra is just below the clitoris. It is where urine comes out. It is below the clitoris, and is small and hidden away under smaller folds of skin (called the inner lips or labia minora). It connects to the bladder and eventually to the kidneys (where urine is produced.)Because the urethra is so close to the anus, women should always wipe themselves from front to back to avoid infecting the vagina and urethra with bacteria.
The Hymen
- It is a thin stretch of skin covering the vagina.
- Some women never have a hymen at all.
- The hymen can be stretched or torn by using tampons or exercising. It can also tear naturally in childhood or during puberty.
- Hymens can have one hole or several.
- A hymen is not an indicator of virginity at all.
