Where is your vagina located?
Many people confuse “vaginas” and “vulvas,” but your vagina and vulva aren’t the same. Your vagina is a canal-like organ located inside of your body that opens outside of your body. It’s a powerful passage that leads from your uterus (inside of your body) to your vulva, which includes your external reproductive organs, or genitals.
Inside of your body
Your vagina extends from your cervix, a neck-like piece of tissue that connects your vagina to your uterus. Your vagina ends as a hole outside of your body, called your vaginal opening. Your vagina is between your bladder (which holds your urine, or pee) and your rectum (which holds your poop).

Your G-spot is located just a few inches inside of your vagina, on the front wall. Many people find it pleasurable when this area is stimulated (with a finger or penis) during sex.
Outside of your body
Your vagina ends at a hole called your vaginal opening, which is part of your vulva. Your vulva includes folds of skin on both sides of your vaginal opening. The outer folds are called your labia majora. The inner folds are called your labia minora (inner lips). Your clitoris (clit) is located where your inner lips meet toward the top of your vulva. Your vaginal opening is located where your inner lips meet toward the bottom of your vulva. Sometimes, your inner lips wholly or partially cover your vaginal opening. You may have to part your inner lips with your fingers to feel your vaginal opening.
Your vaginal opening is one of three essential holes in your vulva area that link your body’s internal and external functions. Your urethral opening is at the top. Your vaginal opening is in the middle. And your anus is at the bottom.
- Urethral opening: A tiny hole located beneath your clitoris that allows you to pee. The tube that carries urine from your bladder (urethra) empties outside of your body at this opening.
- Vaginal opening: This is where your baby exits your body during childbirth and where period blood flows during menstruation. It’s also the hole where a penis, finger, sex toy, tampon or menstrual cup can be inserted. A thin membrane called a hymen usually surrounds or partially covers your vaginal opening. This membrane may be stretched during sex, exercise or even when you’re inserting a tampon. This stretching may or may not be painful.
- Anus: The organ that carries poop from your colon (rectum) empties outside of your body at this opening.
What is the average depth of a vagina?

The average vagina (unaroused) is a little over 3.5 inches deep. But your vagina’s size depends on various factors, including your age, weight and whether or not you’ve gone through menopause. Surgeries involving your pelvic cavity may shorten the overall length of your vagina, too.
Your vagina is an elastic organ that can increase in depth up to a certain limit. When you’re aroused, the organ that connects your vagina to your uterus (cervix) tilts upward, lengthening your vaginal canal in the process. Your vagina can stretch to fit a penis, finger or sex toy. Still, the experience can become uncomfortable if an inserted object makes contact with your cervix. Communicate with your partners about what’s pleasurable for you.
What is the vagina made of?
Your vagina consists of several types of tissue and cells that secrete fluids that keep your vaginal walls moist, elastic and healthy. The cells in your vagina are especially responsive to the hormone estrogen. Your body produces higher amounts of estrogen in your reproductive years than during menopause. Less estrogen following menopause can cause your vaginal walls to thin and dry. Over-the-counter lubricants and estrogen-replacement therapy can help with vaginal dryness post-menopause.
