Clitoris and lips

But they are hidden away and many people have never even seen their own. Labia the lips or folds of skin that sit on either side of the vaginal opening come in all shapes, sizes, colours and textures. Pubic hair is the hair that grows around the genital and anal regions. It varies in colour, texture, length and thickness and often extends up the front or back or onto the thighs. Pubic hair provides protection and cushioning to your genitals, and transmits sensation.

What is it? Does every person with a vagina have one? Is it supposed to look like that? That flap is your clitoral hood, a fold of skin that surrounds and protects your glans clitoris.

In female anatomy, the hood of the clitoris — or the clitoral hood — is the fold of skin that surrounds the head of the clitoris. It protects the sensitive clitoris from friction or rubbing. The clitoral hood varies widely in appearance from person to person, and larger or smaller hoods are perfectly normal. There is no "right way" for them to look.

The labia minora Latin for smaller lips, singular: labium minus "smaller lip" , also known as the inner labia , inner lips , vaginal lips or nymphae , [1] are two flaps of skin on either side of the human vaginal opening in the vulva , situated between the labia majora Latin for larger lips; also called outer labia, or outer lips. The labia minora vary widely in size, color and shape from individual to individual. The labia minora are homologous to the male urethral surface of the penis. The labia minora extend from the clitoris obliquely downward, laterally, and backward on either side of the vulval vestibule , ending between the bottom of the vulval vestibule and the labia majora.
