The labia minora (Latin for 'smaller lips', sg.: labium minus), also known as the inner labia, inner lips, or nymphae,[1] are two flaps of skin that are part of the primate vulva, extending outwards from the vaginal and urethral openings to encompass the vestibule.[2] The labia minora are situated between the labia majora and together form the labia. They vary widely in size, color and shape from individual to individual.
