What do you call it?

[SarahL2]

My little boy is 2.2 now and we're potty training so he's getting more interested in what's going on 'down there'...

This morning he greeted his penis with "Hello Willy" as I took his nappy off and was pointing out his own and his Daddy's willy as they shared a bath this evening.

It's only a metter of time before he asks where my willy is !

But when he asks - I'm not sure how I'll explain it... Mummy has a.....?

Fanjo is obviously out, I'm not keen on Fanny, Vagina is too medical sounding, Front Bum is just wrong and Twinkle (as used by a friend of mine) is far too silly!

So I'm stuck! How do you guys refer to your bits in front of the kids???

Vagina or Vulva.

Give him the proper names.

front bottom

Back bottom for poos and front bottom for wees.

OK - chill out.

Just saying what we call it.

When I was little, a friend of mine had a "tuppence"!!

Why is it boys can have a nickname for thier bits but women have to go with the proper terms or some airy-fairy nonesense?

we call it a toot. dont know why or where it came from but thats what it is.

My son's genitals are referred to as his penis and scrotum and my daughter refers to her vagina and vulva. We haven't used the word urethra (which I guess is what is being suggested above) because as yet she hasn't asked how she urinates or pointed to her urethra and said 'whassat'?

Whatever you do don't call it your "fairy".

Seems to be used a lot where I live and makes me want to boak.

I call mine my vagina. Or the generic "girls bits".

girly bits/bits.

We have girl willy and fanny front.

But vagina only refers specifically to the orifice, not the surrounding parts!

Call it your lady garden.

When my DD was small we called it a mini. Mini seems to sort of be the femme equivalent of willy.

We still call it a mini now she's turning 7 but also a fanny and a sometimes a vagina.

DD used to have a friend at school whose childminder called it a lulabelle

Haha pineapple - we call dd's a minny too!

When she's older and asks we'll just tell her it's her vagina. Same for other body parts. Straightforward and honest is how I want to be with dd.

Can't stand all this front bottom nonsense. And frilly names like fairy, lulabelle, twinkle etc

woo woo here

we call dds a flower

when I was little my mum called it bumblina

Brings a whole new connotation to the phrase "bunch of flowers" though doesn't it

Never mind "driving a mini"!!!!

We've ended up saying 'nunny', which I originally used as a joke but ended up sticking. But we also use 'vulva'; we tend to use the two interchangeably. Initially I was planning to go with scientific terms all the way, but as we don't insist on using them for any other part of her body (e.g. tummy, bottom, tummy or belly button) it seemed a bit weird.

I only have boys and they've never asked what my bits are called so its never come up. I don't mind fanny. But I hate all this poncy flower, mary, fairy, twinkle crap. It is just so frou frou sounding

My 2 boys are 4 and 7 and I am not sure that I really want them using the 'proper' word of vulva or vagina.

(IMHO) at this age there is nothing wrong with front bottom, back bottom, willy and bum.

As they get older I will teach them the proper words of vulva (yuk! vile word anyway - not sure I have ever used it!) vagina, anus and penis.......but for now what we use will suffice.

I just say they are my 'bits' my 3 yr old ds calls his his 'pepino' from pesholino[sp] in italian[his dad]
