The labia are located on the external genitalia of a woman. They are two folds of skin that surround the opening of the vagina. The labia majora are the larger, outer folds of skin, while the labia minora are the smaller, inner folds of skin. The labia are important for protecting the vagina and urethra from infection. They also play a role in sexual pleasure.
