Labia
The labia protect the vaginal opening. Every woman has 2 outer labia and 2 inner labia.
See for yourself
Labia look different in each woman. Some women have large labia; others have smaller ones. Hair (called public hair) grows on the outer labia. The inner labia are between the outer labia. They are slightly darker in color.
Hygiene
Wash the labia with lukewarm water. Don’t use soap, that can cause itching, irritation, yeast infections and pain during sex.
