What did you call your vagina when you were a kid?

The whole thing was just my vagina. Nobody gave me any cutesy euphemisms for it, but also nobody got into all the clinical vulva-versus-vagina bits. So it was just all my vagina, and it was all my private parts.
Nothing. I don’t ever recall referring to it. ‘Private parts’ maybe
Girl parts
The Hamburglar
hoo ha :[ always felt silly saying it out loud. vagina is a much better term
Wee wee. I will never let my children call their private parts cutsie names like that.
Vagina. My mom didn’t like the cutesy names people came up with, so it was always vagina, penis, or privates.
My grandmother called it “your cookie” but I don’t recall calling it anything until I hit Puberty. I guess I didn’t have much to say about it until then. Lol
My mom was a Japanese immigrant who could never properly pronounce the English word. So when we had the period talk, she used the Japanese: “Chitsu”.
I never learned Japanese growing up but I still use that word even today.
Ironically, I’ve learned that’s also how they pronounce the English word “tits”. Maybe I should start using the English name to reduce the ambiguity!
I was in a particularly conservative religion, so I didn’t know it was there.
Growing up, my mom always called it a bippy? No idea where that came from 😭
Vagina. I still call it that and teach my daughters that, even though I know it’s technically wrong, but my language has a ridiculous word for labia, so I refuse to use that. I did try to tell all this wisdom to my 11 yo daughter, but she told me to shut up. I try.
Vajayjay
Furgina. I knew I would eventually grow hair and it would get “furry”
My mom called it “zoogie.” So embarrassing.
my family called it a flower pot for some reason
Peach.
In hindsight…I hate it. Teach your kids the REAL words.
It’s sad cknsdier my mom WAS A NURSE. But she is also a Catholic..therefore shame before education and all that. Vagina and pe is were “swears” around her.
Tutu, for some reason. I will teach my future children the anatomical names for their reproductive organs – not only are cutesy names ridiculous, they’re dangerous.
I called it my “China” when I was little little and the older I got I said “gina” instead.
I don’t think I ever had any reason to personally refer to my vagina specifically. I might occasionally refer to everything by the term “privates” or “private parts” when talking about being covered by clothing or something. I did know the term vagina.
We used all the words. Open communication. My mom was a hippy. Vagina, pussy, pussycat.
I was raised to never possibly call it anything or acknowledge it in any way. I inherited too much of my personality from my dad when it comes to that stuff I guess. Being raised mormon didn’t help, either
It was my “mini”

“Vorderpopo” which would loosely translate into “Front butt”. Not sure why because my mom always used the proper anatomical terms in German. Not because she’s some sort of sex ed champion (we were mostly left to our own devices which isn’t the worst given Germany has pretty okay sex ed) but because she hated and rejected out of principle any form of baby talk.
I think my sister and I picked up from the other kids that “Scheide” (Vagina) is an embarrassing word to use and came up with our own euphemism.
My front bum 😂
My Mom convinced my sister and I vaginas were called “Wonkey-donkeys.” I may have learned by the age of 7 this wasn’t the case.
My front butt 🤣🤣🤣🤣
My peepee – I just thought boys and girls peepees just looked different but that girls were still called peepees. It’s probably because I had an older brother.
