Both genders don’t use the proper anatomical terms at all. Vagina: This is the internal canal that leads from the cervix to the outside of the body. It’s involved in sexual intercourse, childbirth, and the menstrual cycle. It is not visible from the outside. Vulva: This term refers to the external part of the female genitalia. It includes the labia majora and labia minora (the outer and inner lips), the clitoris, the urethral opening, and the vaginal opening. The vulva is what most people are actually referring to when they say "vagina."
