Detailed explanation-1: -The main parts of your vulva or external genitals are: Labia majora: Your labia majora (“large lips”) enclose and protect the other external reproductive organs. During puberty, hair growth occurs on the skin of the labia majora, which also contain sweat and oil-secreting glands.
Detailed explanation-2: -The hairless skin of the labia minora has oil glands (but no sweat glands) and a few touch and pressure receptors. In older women or in women who have low estrogen levels, the skin of the labia minora becomes thinner and loses surface moisture.
Detailed explanation-3: -Many sebaceous, or oil-producing, glands are also present in the labia minora and extend to the skin surface via ducts. Sebum, or oil, produced by the sebaceous glands coats the surface of the labia minora to lubricate and protect the underlying tissues.
