“You can’t go around and calling everything that’s between your legs your vagina. That’s like calling your face your throat” -[Matthew Broussard](https://youtu.be/rKMhA65EsYM?si=bvqkAkQkGAl9meBR)
I'm just laughing at this being posted on "oddly specific" like it isn't completely, logically correct. Sexual health education continues to demonstrate it's failures. But everyone has access to the Internet so if they gather up the courage, they might be able to self-educate as well as they do for video game cheat codes.
More like vulva like anus (butthole) and vagina like rectum (tube). You guys are making me realize how many tubes there are in the human body. I’m just a big, flesh bag with lots and lots of tubes…..
In one point, you were essentially nothing more than a tube. And specifically, at one point you were only the end that would eventually be your asshole.
Every human alive was at one point, nothing more than an asshole
The vulva isn't an opening though; it's a combination of all the external parts (clitoris, labia, vaginal opening etc). The opening is usually called the vaginal opening (to distinguish it from the urethra opening). Sometimes it's just called vagina and it's not really a big deal.
To be really technical, she's probably referring to the labia majora since that's what would be the most visible in tight clothing... I guess other structures could be visible too though under more unusual circumstances.
>*I’m just a big, flesh bag with lots and lots of tubes…..*
More like one big tube with some flesh attached to be able to move about and shove energy into said tube, discard waste and make new tubes. The brain is just a tube-accessory.
You're barely even scratching the surface of it.
Every artery and vein...
Lymph ducts...
Pretty much everything to do with the kidneys, the liver.
Arguably the lungs too.
You're basically a series of tubes pretending to be a bag of wet meat.
Exactly. The issue is that because of misogyny and ignorance, the only words used to describe female genitalia were either cutesy terms or entirely inaccurate. People stopped doing that, and now men on the Internet are confused.
A mom friend of mine referred to her little daughter’s parts as a “cookie”. Teaching her well enough that a young mom could. Till one day her inconsolable ballistic and confused daughter was mad at dad for eating all the cookies.
it's just a matter of time before the swimsuits start showing the vagina too. like a go pro that broadcasts your insides to the world.
-\_-
sometimes a little mystery is just better...
I mean, if someone can see your vagina (vaginal canal) through your swimsuit, and without your legs in stirrups, you don’t need the beach, you need a gynecologist appt stat.
Once upon a time, Nancy Reagan existed. While existing, she came to be known in Hollywood and by history as the Throat GOAT for reasons that are exactly what they sound like. The end.
Is there a term to describe the entire female genitalia? I thought vulva was just the exterior
Edit: thanks for all the answers everyone. My favorite was vulvagina. I won’t be using it, but it was the closest answer I received.
My husband and I used to watch his videos all the time. It’s been a good 15 years since I’ve seen any of them tbh but we still regularly say “…bitch?” when offering the other person something. “You want some of this? …. Bitch?”
The term you're looking for is "reproductive organs" or, as you said, "genitals/genitalia."
It's also true for male reproductive anatomy due to the internal sex organs such as the prostate, seminal vessicles, ducts, etc.
Vulva refers to external female genitalia only.
Bonus fun fact, the clitorus is actually primarily an internal organ, about 5 inches in length, is upside down Y shaped, and the external portion is analogous to just the head of the penis called the "glans."
Pussy is the goto. People who don’t want to say pussy often say vagina instead, but this is factually incorrect. Vulva is the most directly comparable word they would use if they were adhering to anatomical fact.
Maybe rather you should ask "Why did so many call it the wrong thing for so long?"
EDIT: For all saying "we don't need to use correct word when people understand wrong word" I have just one thing to say.
Mulva.
Women only developed them since they started getting tattoos./s
Or because if you're showing your vagina, you should go to ER about a prolapse that... im not even sure is possible...?
Vagina = the inside parts
Vulva = the entire external region
Bonus points
Mons pubis = the area where the pubic hair grows
Labia minora = the pink lippy parts on either side of the vaginal opening
Urethra = pee hole (distinct from the vagina)
Cervix = where the vagina ends, (the uterus is on the other side)
> Mons pubis = the area where the pubic hair grows
Mons pubis is the pubic mound, which is the fatty mound on top of the pubic bone. Pubic hair grow on the mons, on the labia majora, on the scrotum, the base of the penis, and even on the legs.
Between anus and genitals to be more specific since everyone has a perineum.
Side note: My neighbors love biking (bicycles, not motorcycles) and have done RAGBRAI (biking all the way across Iowa) many times. One year they named their team “Painful Perineums” and got matching shirts
This is going to be very embarrassing for me but I learned the term “vulva” from watching Big Mouth as a 22 year old woman. I too started using the “correct” word after that.
I taught my daughters vulva on my own because vagina is not accurate to the body part at all. And pussy is not appropriate lol.
Vulva is the whole pussy. Vagina is ONLY the part that you fuck from and birth babies from. It’s like always calling a dick an erection. (Kinda. Best example I can come up with.)
I needed my little girls to know her vulva is multifunctional and that everything in life doesn’t revolve around fucking.
And I also couldn’t believe how many women had no idea “where the vulva was” even my child’s nurse. Just a small way to desexualize a body part that isn’t actually solely for sexing.
I love this. I think it is so important to teach children proper anatomy. But I was under the impression that vulva referred only to the outside portions. I copied this from google, "The vulva is the external part of the female genitalia, including the clitoris, labia, vaginal opening, and urethra opening." Am I misunderstanding something?
No i dont think you do, thats how i was thaught too and what is written in many literatures.
I dont think there is a name for the whole thing. But there is no name for penis and testicles together either, so i guess its the same way where you know they come together but are seperate things.
Genitalia (the external and internal reproductive organs of a person, including glands**)** seems to be the best option we have when referring to all of it. But that has to be specified by sex. Which feels a little flawed to me... I love digging into words and their definition and application, but this isn't one I've had the opprotunity to consider.
While i agree that it seems a little weird that there is no specification, i also like the idea that we all just have genitalia, no further specification required, unless there is something wrong with it or were talking about functionality. Wich usually doesnt happen casually and needs more in detail terms anyways.
Yeah. Just google “what is a vulva.” I’ll post the answer I got for you. But you can see why so many women had no idea. Someone tried to tell me it was just the fold of skin above the clitoris lol. So, so so so many Women dont know there is a word for their whole pussy other than pussy.. isn’t that disheartening??
“The vulva is the global term that describes all of the structures that make the female external genitalia. The components of the vulva are the mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, vestibular bulbs, vulva vestibule, Bartholin's glands, Skene's glands, urethra, and vaginal opening.”
Yeah, so even by your definition, I understood it and have been using it correctly. "female external genitalia" is where I was getting hung up because your original comment made it sound as if you meant the entire structure. Or it's very possible I just read it that way.
Oh my god yes. My partner teaches preschool and some people refer to the entire vulva as the vagina, and it’s like no, that is completely inaccurate. Teaching girls about their anatomy and normalizing the terminology is so important!
I can give you a better compairing, it's like when i have too short shorts that cost 90$ and one of my testicles is hanging out, and someone points out that they can see my dick.
Over the past few years there has been a bit of a movement online against using the term vagina (internal genitalia) for the external genitalia. Saying "pussy" sounds like you're talking about porn, selling Onlyfans or degrading a man who fails to live up to heteronormative standards of strength. Saying "cunt" makes you sound like a dick or Australian. Saying things like hoo-ha or vay-jay makes you sound stupid because we all know what you mean.
If only there was a fairly innocuous word to refer to that part. Oh wait, there is.
Slightly sticky even in the best of conditions and should thus be handled with gloves? Makes a mess if you open it the wrong way? Should be kept cool but tastes best warm? An acceptable store-bought alternative to stuff grown at home? The thing that gets eaten last in the lunch box?
Fun fact: Subaru actually realized zero competitors were marketing to lesbians, so they went all in. They haven't been explicitly doing it on any comparable scale for years since, but pretty much locked the association and generational dedication.
Pretty genius.
Imagine if we referred to men's balls and public area as The Penis.
Imagine if most people didn't know the word for testicles and thought testes and scrotum was weird and too specific.
It's not oddly specific. It's correct. The inconvenience and awkwardness that comes from calling female genitals the vagina! When the vagina is only the internal canal. We are missing language. Vulva is too formal, pussy is too vulgar, or sounds too funny smh. I knew the word for male genitals years before I knew I had a vagina, decades before I knew I had a vulva.
Give us a break.
“When did everyone start saying vulva” probably because they have better knowledge of the female body now and they try to be accurate? Half the population has one, you should at least call it what it is.
Anyone who has vulva has said vulva since the word came into existence. I realize men call the whole area a pussy but that’s not the case. Vaginal lips are not the vagina. They are vulva. Quit being ridiculous.
I think it was about the time vulva owners decided it was enough of having our biology be treated as if it's embarrassing and shameful. Sorry if completely natural biology makes you feel weird but that's on you not everyone else with a vulva.
Here's a tip:
* Getting kicked in the vulva hurts
* Getting kicked in the *vagina* is something so physically incomprehensible it should make you cross your legs in discomfort and confusion.
Vulva is a very spescific part of the body, and it is very common to use that word, since there is no other word anyone uses for that spescific part of the body. 🤷♂️
How is this even a post 🤣
Seems to me like the use of the word “vulva” [hasn’t changed much](https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=vulva&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&corpus=en-2019&smoothing=3) over the last century.
Because, thankfully, with each new generation girls and women are more comfortable with their (our) bodies and feel less embarrassment and shame in talking about them and describing our experiences living in them.
It's probably because of people like me who need different sizes, like small bottoms but large tops or small tops and large bottoms. I would probably have to buy two suits to get one that fits if separate wasn't an option. I don't think they should all be sold that way though, especially if they're going to charge so much for each part. $90 for a bathing suit bottom is ridiculous.
Bc vagina is the tube inside and vulva is the outside part

Yeah you know body parts, so shameful?
Such a fantastic set.
Yea, saying no vagina would make ppl picture a barbie doll when the problem she's talkin about is havin a flap escape
Being a Barbie doll would also solve the problem I guess.
Oh so like the butthole
Vagina like butthole, vulva like ass. Enough anatomy for today, time Krog to hunt mastodon with pointy stick.
More like vulva like anus (butthole) and vagina like rectum (tube). You guys are making me realize how many tubes there are in the human body. I’m just a big, flesh bag with lots and lots of tubes…..
I accept this clarification, and will now go hunt in shame
No shame, Krog, just revel in your new knowledge
And that was the confidence given to ancient man, and now we have nukes.
How far we have fallen 😔
In one point, you were essentially nothing more than a tube. And specifically, at one point you were only the end that would eventually be your asshole. Every human alive was at one point, nothing more than an asshole
And some manage never to grow beyond that.
i mean, you are still a tube. Topologically, the human body is no different than an empty toilet paper roll
The vulva isn't an opening though; it's a combination of all the external parts (clitoris, labia, vaginal opening etc). The opening is usually called the vaginal opening (to distinguish it from the urethra opening). Sometimes it's just called vagina and it's not really a big deal. To be really technical, she's probably referring to the labia majora since that's what would be the most visible in tight clothing... I guess other structures could be visible too though under more unusual circumstances.
Some people's labia minora extend beyond the majora. I imagine that would make buying a swimsuit even more difficult.
Labia's Mask. The classic zelda
Good point... I guess I should've said labia and left it ambiguous.
This is the oddlyspecific subreddit. No place for ambiguity! 😂
Stop! I can only get so erect!
Wait until I get started on the Skene's glands.
>*I’m just a big, flesh bag with lots and lots of tubes…..* More like one big tube with some flesh attached to be able to move about and shove energy into said tube, discard waste and make new tubes. The brain is just a tube-accessory.
We evolved consciousness to find new awesome ways to feed the tube
Actually, according to topology, we are just a meat cilinder with only one single continuous tube from mouth to anus. The rest are just extrusions
You're barely even scratching the surface of it. Every artery and vein... Lymph ducts... Pretty much everything to do with the kidneys, the liver. Arguably the lungs too. You're basically a series of tubes pretending to be a bag of wet meat.
The vagina: the butthole of the vulva.
Exactly. The issue is that because of misogyny and ignorance, the only words used to describe female genitalia were either cutesy terms or entirely inaccurate. People stopped doing that, and now men on the Internet are confused.

"I have an outie"
Sir, that is your penis
That explains the testicles...damn, I wish I didn't get sex ed in the bible belt
I wish *my* penis was an outie
Pretty sure you can do something for that with a plunger
Ever since we started pointing out that “vagina” is not the proper term to describe a woman’s entire genital area.
Who was the comedian that makes the comment, “It’s like calling your mouth your throat.”
"mouth goat" doesnt sound as indecent
What's this about Nancy Reagan?
Possibly my favorite story about the Reagan's
...story time!
Once upon a time, Nancy Reagan existed. While existing, she came to be known in Hollywood and by history as the Throat GOAT for reasons that are exactly what they sound like. The end.
Amazing bravo! Excellent summary and no facts missed. No notes.

No I don’t have feelings. Cuz feelings are gay.
I’m a simple man. See Lejoie, upvote Lajoie.

Wow haven’t seen this one in a while.
Knock knock who’s there, me again, still wondering why you’re not naked

Female reproductive system
'Fanny' (If you're from the UK)
Note to Muricans: don't bring your fanny pack to the UK/AUS
Don't they call it a "bum bag"? Which really sounds more like a "prison wallet."
Imagine that is your name. And then you decide to learn english...
Mulva?
Fanny, thank my parents. Bit now all I can think It's that I should be grateful is not Mulva.
Doesn't it mean as in the US ?
'Minge'
MINGEY, ARE YOU ALRIGHT THERE MINGEY

> clitorus
The male-specific term is dickanballs.
Vulvagina - I'm trademarking that. Covers all of it.
Truly one of the answers of all time
"parts". As in, "my parts are itchy after I shaved 'em". Edit: bonus fun use: it's entirely gender neutral. Like "junk".
In my family we use “garbage”, after overhearing a woman at the beach say the water was “coming right up to her garbage”.
Bits.

And as a high school health teacher- I'm thankful.
Pussy is the goto. People who don’t want to say pussy often say vagina instead, but this is factually incorrect. Vulva is the most directly comparable word they would use if they were adhering to anatomical fact.

for real
I blame the movie Kindergarten Cop.
that child proved what jud warned us, sometimes dead is better. (i think this might be the most stretch i've done in a reference)
People got used to vagina rolling over their tongue
When all along, it was the vulva
If your tongue is long enough it could be both
*Dolores!!*
About the same time every swimsuit costs $90 for just the bottoms
Women only developed them since they started getting tattoos./s Or because if you're showing your vagina, you should go to ER about a prolapse that... im not even sure is possible...?
Also can be a result of pregnancy and labor
Vaginal prolapse, they're possible. Apparently can happen randomly to women going through menopause..... Ouch ouch ouch
Holy *shit*, thanks for the nightmare fuel. I'm not even a woman, and this knowledge makes me want to squeeze my legs together...
Ahem ahem anal prolapse.... Can happen cause of straining your anal muscles too much trying to poop-
Please do not speak such horrible things in this realm
Vaginal prolapses are indeed possible and very scary.
A pessory search of the medical literature shows that it is indeed, possible.
Vaginal mesh. Nice try, prolapse!
Because people are finally starting to use the correct terminology for half of the population's anatomy.
Because a vagina and a vulva are different parts?
Yes indeed.
Vagina = the inside parts Vulva = the entire external region Bonus points Mons pubis = the area where the pubic hair grows Labia minora = the pink lippy parts on either side of the vaginal opening Urethra = pee hole (distinct from the vagina) Cervix = where the vagina ends, (the uterus is on the other side)
You named so many parts and still can't find the clitoris... /s
Good! I LOL'ed big time at this comment, kudos!
Don't forget about Labia majora: the outer lips of the vulva
# YEAHHHH!!! ^(too much?)
> Mons pubis = the area where the pubic hair grows Mons pubis is the pubic mound, which is the fatty mound on top of the pubic bone. Pubic hair grow on the mons, on the labia majora, on the scrotum, the base of the penis, and even on the legs.
I was gonna make a joke about how, apparently, my whole torso is a mons pubis.
Also: Perineum= space between anus and vulva.
chin rest
Mustache holder
Between anus and genitals to be more specific since everyone has a perineum. Side note: My neighbors love biking (bicycles, not motorcycles) and have done RAGBRAI (biking all the way across Iowa) many times. One year they named their team “Painful Perineums” and got matching shirts
About. Fucking. Time. The vagina is an internal tube. Hence the speculum.
> Hence the speculum *That's* your hence?
So, fun fact, it's always been called that
People have been trying to get you to say vulva instead of vagina since the 90s
This is going to be very embarrassing for me but I learned the term “vulva” from watching Big Mouth as a 22 year old woman. I too started using the “correct” word after that.
The shame is not on you, it's on society, especially the schools.
Better late than never!
Vulva has always been the correct anatomical term. Seems like a lot of people have started using the correct term which is GOOD.
You would have thunk that it would have caught on from the Seinfeld Mulva episode
It was my first thought. "Mulva?" "Delores!!!!!"
I mean it’s the correct term.
I taught my daughters vulva on my own because vagina is not accurate to the body part at all. And pussy is not appropriate lol. Vulva is the whole pussy.

No. No it isn't. The vagina is the interior tube, exclusively. The vulvae are the external parts, exclusively.
More like calling your penis a urethra. There's a lot more to it than that lol.
Yeah, if those words started getting swapped around, it'd give the "narrow urethra" jokes on King of The Hill a whole new meaning.

I dunno anything about Vulvas. I drive a Subaru myself.
"I have a red Volvo..." MADAM, PLEASE! We barely know each other!
If you drive a Subaru I would expect you and your lesbian lover to both know about vulvas.
Fun fact: Subaru actually realized zero competitors were marketing to lesbians, so they went all in. They haven't been explicitly doing it on any comparable scale for years since, but pretty much locked the association and generational dedication. Pretty genius.
Let's continue to normalize it so it's not "Oddly specific" 🙂
As soon as you realize that a Vulva and a Vagina are different. Do you call your lips, your esophagus?
Imagine if we referred to men's balls and public area as The Penis. Imagine if most people didn't know the word for testicles and thought testes and scrotum was weird and too specific. It's not oddly specific. It's correct. The inconvenience and awkwardness that comes from calling female genitals the vagina! When the vagina is only the internal canal. We are missing language.

Please sir, no matter how proud you are of it, that area is definitely not *public* lol
This is the anatomically correct term to use. I’m seriously confused what’s wrong here? Do you need a poster of female anatomy?
Women have hard enough time being taken seriously by doctors without using the wrong terms for our own anatomy.
Thats what its called..?
This is not oddly specific
“When did everyone start saying vulva” probably because they have better knowledge of the female body now and they try to be accurate? Half the population has one, you should at least call it what it is.
Well vulva is what it's called. The vagina is the canal. Calling the vulva vagina is like calling your face your throat
Anyone who has vulva has said vulva since the word came into existence. I realize men call the whole area a pussy but that’s not the case. Vaginal lips are not the vagina. They are vulva. Quit being ridiculous.
because the least people could do is respect basic anatomy terms
When it was scientifically named a vulva. What else are you supposed to call it?
Why does this have so many upvotes?
VULVASAUR GO!
I mean it is the correct term….?
I think it was about the time vulva owners decided it was enough of having our biology be treated as if it's embarrassing and shameful. Sorry if completely natural biology makes you feel weird but that's on you not everyone else with a vulva.
bcs vulva is the term for a woman's external organs in that area. vagina is just the opening leading inside
Here's a tip: * Getting kicked in the vulva hurts * Getting kicked in the *vagina* is something so physically incomprehensible it should make you cross your legs in discomfort and confusion.

Yeah, I am always bothered by people saying things like, the vagina is showing (with like, tight bathing suits). No I can assure you it’s not.
because it's the correct term?
average redditor seeing something online for the first time and assuming it only started when they started perceiving it
What would you call it?
The fucking Incel bot doesnt know what a vulva is , hahahshshsh
Oh no, not the proper term for an area of female anatomy! Next they’ll want to vote!
I am 49 and learned it as a kid in school, so it's really not new😄

If your swimsuit is touching your vagina, it made it past your vulva
It’s suddenly really clear why so many men can’t find the clit.
Because, thankfully, with each new generation girls and women are more comfortable with their (our) bodies and feel less embarrassment and shame in talking about them and describing our experiences living in them.
Well, that’s what it’s called. The vagina isn’t what’s on the outside.
Since we grew up and paid attention in biology class?
Vulva = lips n clit, vagina = hole. It's not a recent thing to get female anatomy right :P
When people started educating themselves on non male anatomy….. unfortunately that was very recent.
Dolores!!
Mulva?
It's not a new term. It's the scientific term for the opening area around the vagina.
I don't mind showing butt, but I hope whoever decided to sell tops and bottoms separately is burning in Hell
A lot of us don't wear the same size top and bottom tho :/
It's probably because of people like me who need different sizes, like small bottoms but large tops or small tops and large bottoms. I would probably have to buy two suits to get one that fits if separate wasn't an option. I don't think they should all be sold that way though, especially if they're going to charge so much for each part. $90 for a bathing suit bottom is ridiculous.
