Outer thick lips of the vulva that cover and enclose the inner thin lips the labia minora, and the vestibule that contains the urinary orifice and the vaginal opening. Simply said the the two thick folds of skin that you separate with fingers to locate the vagina are called labia majora. They are part of the female's external genitalia and contain erectile tissue that engorges during sexual arousal.

What is the function of the inner labia?
The inner labia help to protect the vaginal opening and urethral opening - the vaginal opening and urethral opening are within the vestibule, the vestibule is within the inner labia, the inner labia are within the outer labia, and your vulva is safely nestled between your legs. Imagine the female genitals like a Matryoshka doll, with the vaginal opening safely within the vulva, and then further from that all this protection works to keep your reproductive organs healthy. The inner labia aren't just about protection though, they are also about pleasure too - when aroused they become engorged and more sensitive to stimulation, so during masturbation and sex stimulating the inner labia increase arousal for pleasure.
