Last reviewed dd mmm yyyy. Last edited dd mmm yyyy

Authoring team

The labia minora are thin folds of skin which lie medially to the labia majora.

Anteriorly the labia minora divide to surround the clitoris, forming:

  • the prepuce of the clitoris superiorly, and
  • the frenulum inferiorly

Hair follicles are absent but some sweat glands are found.

The labia minora are sensitive and contain some erectile tissue.
