How it is used in the Splash library
But the bit you can see on the outside is the Vulva.
From “Vulva vs vagina: an anatomy tour”Itching and irritation around the vulva and vagina
From “Thrush vs BV: the itchy, fishy truth”Bladder infections (cystitis) are the most common kind, and people with a vulva get them more often because the tube from the bladder is shorter.
From “UTIs: burning questions answered”As oestrogen falls, the skin and lining of the vagina, vulva and bladder can get thinner, drier and more easily irritated.
From “Vaginal dryness, pain and bladder symptoms”The clitoris sits at the top of the vulva, where the inner lips meet – and it’s the star of the show.
From “Orgasm basics”
