Wikipedia

  1. Labia minora

    The labia minora (Latin for 'smaller lips', singular: labium minus), also known as the inner labia, inner lips, vaginal lips or nymphae are two flaps of skin that are part of the human vulva, extending outwards from the vaginal and urethral openings to encompass the vestibule. These labia are situated between the labia majora ('larger 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.

  1. labia minora

    The labia minora are two small, thin folds of skin located within the labia majora, which are part of the external female genitalia. These structures are generally darker and smoother than the rest of the skin. They play a crucial role in protecting the clitoris and vagina from injury and infection, and also contribute to sexual sensation and arousal. The size, shape, and color of the labia minora can vary significantly from individual to individual.

  1. Labia minora

    The labia minora, also known as the inner labia, inner lips, vaginal lips, or nymphae, are two flaps of skin on either side of the human vaginal opening, situated between the labia majora. Inner lips vary widely in size, colour, and shape from woman to woman. The inner lips 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 outer lips. The posterior ends of the inner lips are usually joined across the middle line by a fold of skin, named the frenulum labiorum pudendi or fourchette. On the front, each lip divides into two portions. The upper part of each lip passes above the clitoris to meet the upper part of the other lip—which will often be a little larger or smaller—forming a fold which overhangs the glans clitoridis; this fold is named the preputium clitoridis. The lower part passes beneath the glans clitoridis and becomes united to its under surface, forming, with the inner lip of the opposite side, the frenulum clitoridis. On the opposed surfaces of the labia minora are numerous sebaceous glands not associated with hair follicles.
