Mums with daughters - what do you call their lady bits??!

DD is learning words at a rate of knots so we have to decide what delightful euphemism we're going to use to describe her general private area.

We can't think of anything we like - except perhaps Ladybits

Anyone got any good ones?

God, Thell, get your hard hat out!
Personally, I go for the anatomically correct labia and vagina.

Bottom for wees

Bum is for poo

I know several little girls use fanny, front bottom etc.

My mum recently explained to me why some people used the word 'mary'. Mary and William apparently.

another front bottom here (as it were)

Wanted to go with labia but it hasn't stuck for some reason. Dd refers to her front bottom.

fanny. though if it was after MNet for me, would have taught her fanjo. did teach corect terminology by about 3 though, but we stuck with fanny.

boys = waggy [tradition in father's family] - think that is v v sweet

Front bottom or (more often) wizzie - my Grandmother's term.

front bum, back bum tho was recently informed by dd that it was 'gross' that babies came from same place as poo...not easy but I had to introduce 'vagina'...no more questions yet TG!

Hurrah! Some fab ones - I really like Wizzie.
I think we always just used front bottom - and I suppose the advantage is my 1 year old won't be able to say it clearly for ages

'Fanjo' is fab, but being comedy-rude at home is one thing...not sure I'd be able to cope with her saying it in public.
Had to restrain myself from teaching her 'norks' for the same reason

At the moment it's either bum or bits, will probably become flower.

heymammy · 25/05/2007 21:06

lordy, lordy...it's a flower in our house.

I know we should all use the proper names blah blah blah but there really is something shuddery about your child saying vagina (especially in the supermarket at full pelt)

It's always been 'private bits' here, for boys and girls, although the novelty of having a little boy does mean we have a lot of 'willy!' shouting.

Vagina, and am planning to introduce vulva in response to criticism on here about the anatomical incorrectness of using vagina as a catchall phrase for the femal sexual organs. In the context washing I tend to say undercarriage however.

my 2 dds 7 and 4 call theirs their gir ly bits, although dd1 does know the real name is vagina as she has been watching alot of birthing programs with me(shes all into biology, likes to know everything)
