Top things to know about vaginas:

• The vagina connects the vulva to the cervix

• As you age, your vagina ages too!

• When you’re aroused, blood flows to the vagina to make it bigger, and more arousal fluid is produced

People often use the term vagina to refer to the entire female genital region between the legs—but this is incorrect.

Let’s first start with correcting this terminology. The vulva is the correct name for the external parts of the female genitalia. This includes the glans clitoris, labia minora and majora, opening of the urethra and vagina (the introitus), and the surrounding tissue.
