For females, the mons pubis forms the anterior and superior portion of the vulva.It divides into the labia majora (literally "larger lips"), on either side of the furrow known as the pudendal cleft that surrounds the rest of the vulvar parts: labia minora, clitoris, urinary meatus, vaginal opening, and vulval vestibule.
The mons pubis is a soft mound of fatty tissue in the pubic region covering the pubic bone. [3] Mons pubis is Latin for "pubic mound" and is present in both sexes to act as a cushion during sexual intercourse, and is more pronounced in the female. [4] The variant term mons veneris ('mound of Venus') is used specifically for females. [5] [4]
Initially any pubic hair is removed from the mons pubis, typically by a bikini wax, after which rhinestones, Swarovski crystals or gemstones are glued onto the area. [3] The result can last for up to seven days. The purpose of vajazzling is the visual aesthetic. There are no benefits in terms of sexual pleasure.
Around the pubis bone and the mons pubis that covers it, it is known as a pubic patch, which can be styled. Although fine vellus hair is present in the area during childhood, pubic hair is considered to be the heavier, longer, coarser hair that develops during puberty as an effect of rising levels of hormones: androgens in males and estrogens ...

Urinary meatus: the opening of the urethra for urine to pass through. Vaginal opening: entrance to the vagina. Hymen: connective tissue that covers the vaginal opening.
In adults, the vagina is largely protected from trauma due to the protective function of the mons pubis and labia majora. This protection is lacking in girls who lack a protective fat layer to protect the vagina. Vaginal trauma can occur when something is inserted into the vagina, for example, a sharp object causing penetrating trauma. [1]
A Christina piercing, also known as a Venus piercing, is a female genital piercing.It is located where the outer labia meet, below the pubic mound. [1] The Christina piercing is anatomy dependent; it has a high rejection rate, and is not possible for all women due to anatomical variation.
