Keeping the inner lips spread and pulling the hood back again, you will notice that the inner lips attach to the underside of the clitoris. Right below this attachment you will see a small dot or slit. Because the urinary opening is so close to the vaginal opening, it can become irritated from prolonged or vigorous sexual activity and may lead to some discomfort while urinating. Around the vaginal opening you may be able to see the hymen. When you were born, it was a thin membrane surrounding the vaginal opening, partially blocking it but almost never covering the opening completely.
Hymens come in widely varying sizes and shapes.
For most women the hymen stretches easily. Even after being stretched, little folds of hymen tissue remain. Now insert a finger or two into your vagina. Notice how the vaginal walls, which were touching each other, now spread around your fingers and hug them. Feel the soft folds of skin.
