The Vagina
What is the vagina? Your vagina is between your thighs. Your cervix is inside your body at the end of the vagina. Other words for vagina are punani, coochie, nunu or yoni, but there are lots more!
Elastic and flexible
Your vagina is an opening that goes all the way up to your cervix. Normally your vagina is between 7 and 9 cm deep and quite narrow; the walls almost touch each other. But your vagina is elastic and flexible, and when you are turned on your vagina becomes moist and opens up. This allows a penis, or perhaps fingers, to enter it with ease. During childbirth, even a baby can pass through it.
