Vaginal Corona
The vaginal corona, also called the hymen, is folds of thin mucous tissue surrounding or partially covering the vaginal opening. All females are born with this mucous tissue.
Elastic tissue
In most women, this tissue is quite elastic. It can be either ribbed or smooth, and it stretches over time for various reasons. The shape of the hymen varies too, and some people have more of it than others.
