The vulva is the part you can see on the outside. It's like the front door to the rest of your body. The vulva includes the folds of skin around the opening. It protects the parts inside.
The Clitoris
The clitoris is a small, sensitive part at the top of the vulva. It's covered by a little fold of skin called a hood. It's known for being a very sensitive spot on the body.
The Vaginal Opening
This is a small opening on your body. It's the entrance to the vagina, which is inside your body. Blood leaves through this opening during a period. A baby can also be born through this opening.
The Vagina
The vagina is a tube inside your body. You can't see it from the outside. It's stretchy, like a balloon. It can get bigger when needed, then go back to its normal size.
