Structures opening in the vulval vestibule are the urethra (urinary meatus), vagina, Bartholin's glands, and Skene's glands. [1]The external urethral orifice is placed about 25–30 millimetres (1–1.2 in) [2] behind the clitoris and immediately in front of that of the vagina; it usually assumes the form of a short, sagittal cleft with slightly raised margins.

[11] The vaginal canal travels upwards and backwards, between the urethra at the front, and the rectum at the back.
The opening to the human vagina lies just below the urethral opening at the back of the vestibule. A 1996 study by Pendergrass et al. using vinyl polysiloxane castings taken from the vaginas of 39 Caucasian women, found the following ranges of dimensions: [3] lengths (measured using rods): 6.9 to 14.8 cm (2.7 to 5.8 in);
