Your little girl's "bits"

[Fuschia]

what do you call them?

[Keef]

We're not there yet, but Mrs Keef has already said it will be vagina. That is what her mum did with her, and all the other options that I've heard are so bloody ridiculous.

I don't remember my parents calling it anything......... so I called it my "front bum". Isn't it obvious?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Unfortunately, one of the posters on here is called what my friend used for her girls: minkey.

Everytime I see a post from him/her, I can't help but snigger.

We used 'noonie' for when my daughter was very little, but now she's a teenager, it's all very clinical.

[The Nappy Lady]

Foofah (foof for short). No idea why.

Minky also used by someone I know.

Molly

Fanny-Ann (courtesy of my Granny), Fanjo or much more usually - Vagina. (No surprises there!)

Never heard of Minky though, too close to 'Monkey' for my liking. Nooooooooooo!

HH, your post made me laugh out loud - I seem to spend my whole life saying "don't say 'bum' say 'bottom'" to my kids. It's become something of a family catchphrase over the years. I can just see their faces if I started to call a vagina "front-bum", I might just try it just to see the look on their faces!

Ha ha - we call them her' squeaky bits'. A while back it was hard to get her to play nicely in the bath and allow me to soap her up. So I used to do some sound effects when cleaning 'down there'. The name's stuck somehow...

I have a boy - but like Keef I will use correct terminology. (By the way - the outer bits are actually vulva and not vagina.) I can't help it- my mom was a nurse and I was raised to use the correct words. In fact, I wasn't allowed to say that a baby was in someones belly. My mom always corrected me and said "No, the baby is in her uterus." I was probably the only toddler who knew what a uterus was!

My mom also used to make us watch a video called "Strong Kids Safe Kids" starring The Fonz. A man with a guitar played a song about the names for all of the private parts. I still remember the verse on vulva:

Vulva is what girls have down below

Vulva is the proper word to know

So know matter how you say it, Just make sure you know

Vulva is what girls have down below.

Hilarious. My sister and I sometimes still watch it for sh!ts and giggles.

In all seriousness, looking back it was actually a great video and says a lot that my sister and I both still remember it.

Have now completely strayed from topic, but there you go.

Foof is our word

Minky always makes me think of those things you fill up with washing liquid to scrub your pans with.

mo mo !!

[Fuschia]

I use noonoo but I have friends who use minny, mooi and fanny.

[chiseldon]

we use fanny fanackers - or front bottom. It's impossible to wash as bath time as she goes hysterical with giggles and calls it her tickle spot!

[Mellors]

Tuppence!

[Pickle]

Just "bits" here too, although my 3 year old son is obsessed by the fact that his sister has "two bottoms"!

[littleEDfamily]

Our girls must all be so confused by the lack of consistency!

Loving the 'vulva' rhyme in all its silliness. That was the word the scanning man used to confirm the sex of our daughter at the 17 week scan. "I am sure its a girl: that's a vulva". We were both a bit taken aback. Not sure why exactly, but probably not as taken aback as we would have been had he come out with 'fanny fanackers'.

[Belle]

my scanner used the word 'balls' and 'willy' and we both pissed ourselves laughing like a pair of kids.

[joskat]

foofoo or foofoo la la

[minder]

min min or minny!

[bawdy-nan]

jenny - short for genitalia. Vagina's not quite accurate, is it..
