what do you call DD's private parts?

[Bigglewinkle]

We call DS's privates 'willy' but I don't know what to call DD's!! Vagina just seems a bit clinical.
Suggestions for nicer terms gratefully received! I can't think of any.

vulva

Front bottom (she's 3). As and when it comes up, we will tell her the correct terms for the different parts and explain what they are for.

My dd calls hers a ting-ting. No idea where she got that from, we refuper to the as her girly bits.

*refer

we just say "lady bits" for my nieces (4 and 2), (I'm pg with DC1 and don't know what we're having) then like Wigeon we'll give them their proper names when they're a bit older

We call dd's (age 5) front bum and back bum.
She knows that they are really vulva and anus, but we prefer to use the slang as that's what most of her peers at school use.

Anything - ANYTHING but "bits"

ANd I'm sorry, but "lady bits" ...........

Actually, I think "bottom" probably covers it in ordinary conversation, so long as they know the proper words as well.

Vulva

Fanny. Or nappy bits (she is 7 so this has come up when she dicatetd her care plan around her nappy changing)

i know, but like OP they (parents) couldn't think of anything better, I just can't bring myself to call it a vagina when talking to a toddler. Bottom to me only refers to the back half iyswim.

Gina (like vagina without the va, rather than geena!). dh and i are both science teachers so she'll get the proper names in time, but she's only 2 so this feels less clinical!

Mine calls hers a ninny!! Dont know where she got it from but she is 4 and knows the right words aswell! Or noonoo!!

jina always has been always will be :) nephew has always said it too, i used to call my jina my cookie till i was 7 and couldn't pronounce vagina till i was about 12

i used to embarrass my granny by asking the 'right name for my front bum' and always thought she was making it up or it was italian lord only knows why italian ..

vulva

Thanks! DD is only 3mo but the topic cropped up when DS who is 2yo was asking where her willy was! And I was explaining that girls didn't have them... Cue the question 'Mummy's willy??' And me explaining that mummy's don't have willies either.
I used vagina but it just didn't feel right - for some reason I don't like the word.
I will consult with DH and pick one of your suggestions

Dd1 calls it her foo foo (she got this from my cousins children its not something we encouraged). Boys have Willies.

Bottom, never needed anything more so far (she's 3). "Wash your bottom" covers most things we need to say. When the occasion arises then we'll be more specific.

Mine calls her a ninny or a flower which I think are nice. Vulva for a kid??! Shudder!!

Mine calls hers, her fairy .We're cool with that, she'll know its a vagina before too long i'm sure. She's 3 btw.

noonie or mindle but it doesn't come up much because she's only 1.

our wee girl is 3. we told her recently it was her vagina and so she calls it her gina. we're ok with that.
failing that, front bottom would be my second choice.

DS's call their private parts penis and DD calls hers a vagina - because that's what they are.
