Clitoris
The clitoris is a woman’s most sensitive spot. The clitoris sits between the labia.
Outside and inside
The clitoris is much bigger than you think! Your clitoris looks like a small lump, but the majority of the clitoris is on the inside of your body. Concealed behind the labia, it surrounds the opening of the vagina. The G-spot, inside the opening of your vagina, is therefore part of your clitoris. This is a recent discovery.
See for yourself
- The outer part of the clitoris is a little pink ball, approximately 3 to 8 mm in size. This is called the clitoral glans
- This glans is at the top of the inner labia. Exactly at the point where these 2 lips meet
- It’s concealed behind a foreskin, also known as the clitoral hood
Where is it?
The tip of the clitoris is the part you see on the outside of the body. The rest of your clitoris is tucked away inside the body; you cannot see it from the outside.
