The Female Body and Its Anatomy at a Glance
The female body is a true marvel. Every day it achieves incredible things – often in the background, as a matter of course. It menstruates, gives birth, regulates hormones, responds to emotions and environmental influences – and remains a finely tuned, stable system throughout. All the more important that you know and understand it well. Because the more you know about your own anatomy, the easier it is to treat yourself with mindfulness – with everything that comes with it.
The external genitals – protection, sensation and sensuality
The external genitals – also called the vulva – are often simplistically referred to as "the vagina". Yet the vulva is a distinct, versatile system with several parts, each with its own function and significance.
Mons pubis
The soft fatty pad above the pubic bone protects your bones and gives the outer intimate area its shape. This area is usually covered with hair – which also has a protective function.
Outer labia (labia majora)
These outer folds of skin enclose the intimate area like a protective shield. They can vary in size and contain sweat and sebaceous glands that contribute to natural care.
Inner labia (labia minora)
The inner labia lie within the outer ones and are usually much more sensitive. They protect the vaginal opening and the urethral opening. The structure of the labia is individual to each person – symmetrical or asymmetrical, smooth or folded, lighter or darker in colour. All of it is normal.
Clitoris
The clitoris is the central organ of pleasure. Even though only a small part is visible, it extends much further inside and consists of sensitive nerve tissue and erectile tissue. Its sole purpose: enabling sexual pleasure.
Vaginal vestibule
This area contains the entrance to the vagina and the opening of the urethra. It connects the anatomical structures and is richly supplied with blood and highly sensitive.
Short & clear: what you should know about your external genitals
The female intimate area is a sensitive, strong and very personal system. Many people only get to know it properly late in life – yet it's an important part of our self-awareness. Engaging with your own body, getting to know it in all its diversity and understanding how everything is connected can be very empowering.
The internal genitals – your centre of fertility
While the external organs are visible, countless processes take place inside your body that influence your cycle, your fertility and your overall wellbeing. Everything is interconnected – and works together harmoniously day after day.
Vagina
The vagina is a stretchable canal connecting the external and internal organs. It fulfils important functions: it channels menstrual blood outwards, enables sexual intercourse and serves as the birth canal during childbirth. It also cleans itself – one of its most impressive qualities.
Uterus
The function of the uterus is central to reproduction. Every month it builds up a lining in which a fertilised egg can implant. If no fertilisation takes place, the lining is shed again – that's your menstruation.
Cervix
The cervix connects the vagina and the uterus. It controls access to the uterus, protects it from germs with a mucus plug and opens during childbirth. The cervix is therefore essential for fertility, protection and the birth process.
Fallopian tubes and ovaries
The fallopian tubes transport the egg to the uterus after ovulation. The ovaries control the cycle through the production of oestrogen and progesterone – and with it your mood, energy and body as a whole.
Inner strength: everything your body achieves on the inside
From puberty onwards, your body begins to menstruate regularly. For many, this starts in their teenage years – a new phase that can come with many questions and insecurities. All the more important to have a safe, everyday companion: the period underwear for teens from SELENACARE is reusable, soft, leak-proof – and gives you a good feeling at school, in your free time or during sport.
And that's only part of what your body can do: it carries a cycle, regulates hormones, responds to changes – and can even conceive a child, let it grow and bring it into the world. All of that happens inside you.
Your body can do so much – and deserves your attention
The female body is powerful, sensitive and adaptable. It carries you through everyday life, through emotional highs and lows, through sporting challenges – and sometimes even through pregnancy and birth. Often it works away in the background as a matter of course: it menstruates, it regenerates, it responds.
When you become aware of everything your body achieves, appreciation grows almost automatically – for yourself and for your physical wellbeing. Mindfulness doesn't start with a product, but with an attitude: take good care of yourself, listen to your needs and create moments in which you feel safe and comfortable.
