The labia minora, also known as the inner labia, inner lips, or nymphae, are two flaps of skin that are part of the primate vulva, extending outwards from the inner vaginal and urethral openings to en
Labeled close-up photograph of the human vulva, showing the labia natural variation of labia minora.
The individual size, coloration, and shapes of the labia minora are subject to significant variability between women. The labia minora are completely covered by the labia majora in some women in a standing posture, while in others they protrude visibly from the pubic cleft.
The appearance of the labia minora varies depending on the position of the legs. On the left, with the legs closed, the labia minora is almost completely covered by the labia majora. In the center, with the legs slightly open, the labia minora becomes partially visible. On the right, with the legs fully open, the labia minora is completely visible, along with the clitoral hood.
In amniotes, the clitoris is a female sex organ. In humans, it is the vulva's most erogenous area and generally the primary anatomical source of female sexual pleasure. The clitoris is a complex struc

…flaps of skin that are part of the primate vulva, extending outwards from the inner vaginal and urethral openings to encompass the vestibule. At the glans clitoridis, each labium splits, above forming the clitoral hood, and below the frenulum of the clitoris. At the bottom, the labia meet at the labial commissure…
Visible parts of the human clitoris: (1) clitoral hood and (2) clitoral glans. Pubic hair has been deliberately removed to show anatomical detail. The clitoral body extends beneath the glans.
