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 length of the labia minora can be very different from woman to woman. In some, they are hidden completely by the labia majora (top row). For others, they are longer and clearly visible even when the woman is standing (bottom row). The vulva of women in the top row are often called "innies" and the bottom called "outies".[3][4][5]
