V for Vulva, V se Vagina - But They’re Different!

Most people use the words vulva and vagina interchangeably. But these are two separate, but interconnected body parts.

There is a picture of a woman’s lower body with a flower depicting their genitals. There is pubic hair surrounding it.

Text on the card reads:

Do you know the difference between 

the vulva and the vagina?

The vulva is the genital area seen on the outside. And the vagina, is inside the body. It connects the vulva to the cervix.

There is a detailed diagram of the vulva with its different parts.

Text on the card reads

The vulva is the genital area that is seen on the outside. It has many parts:

Mons pubis: where pubic hair grows. 

The Labia majora and the labia minora: Labia yaniki the “lips”, around the vaginal “mouth.” (“Bheege honth tere,” just took on a whole new meaning, huh?)

Clitoris: Psst - iska not-so-secret location - sabse upar, just above the urethral opening. 

Urethral opening: where you pee from. 

Vaginal opening: where the vagina connects to the vulva.

There is a detailed diagram of the female reproductive system. The cervix, uterus and vaginal canal are highlighted.

Text on the card reads:

The vagina is inside the body. 

The vaginal canal extends inside and connects to the cervix, the uterus etc. 

PS: The vagina is one of the places where penetration can happen during sex. 

PPS: It is also where menstrual blood and babies come out of. 

There are two flowers on the card and they are talking to each other. One says, “What’s in a name?” The other says, “An important anatomical distinction!”

Text on the card reads

So, to sum up:

Vulva = Genitalia that is seen outside

Vagina = Part of vulva that extends inside
