The sides of the female private part are called the labia. Specifically, there are two sets of folds: the outer folds are called the labia majora, and the inner folds are called the labia minora.
Understanding the Labia
The term "private part" is often used to refer to the external female genitalia, which is more accurately known as the vulva. The vulva includes several structures, but when we talk about the "sides," we're generally referring to the folds of skin surrounding the vaginal opening.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Labia Majora | The outer folds of the vulva, these are typically larger and may have hair. |
| Labia Minora | The inner folds of the vulva, located within the labia majora and directly surrounding the vaginal opening. |
- The labia majora, as mentioned in the reference, is part of the external body and is the outermost folds of the vulva.
- The labia minora, also described in the reference as the 'inner lips,' are located inside the labia majora and surround the vaginal opening.
Therefore, when referring to the sides of the female private part, one should use the terms labia majora and labia minora for a more specific answer.
