The labia minora, Latin for smaller lips, singular: labium minus "smaller lip", also known as the inner labia, inner lips, vaginal lips or nymphae,[1] are two flaps of skin on either side of the human vagina. It is an opening in the vulva. It is between the labia majora (the Latin for larger lips; also called outer labia, or outer lips).[2]
The labia minora vary widely in size, color, and shape from individual to individual.
