Best Answer

The 'lips' portion of a women's genitals.

They cover the 'hole' into the vagina as well the clitoris (above the 'hole')

If you are looking at a women's genital area and nothing is being touched or moved out of the way; the lips portion (typically the only portion you can see visibly) is the labia.

There are many people who mistakenly call a women's genitals the 'vagina'. Technically the vagina only refers to the canal portion which is not actually visible without moving the labia out of the way and looking inside.
