Okay, so, I saw this question online the other day, “how many holes does a lady have?” and it really got me thinking. I mean, I thought I knew, but then I started second-guessing myself. So, I decided to do a little experiment.

My Exploration
First, I did some online research to see what the general consensus was. Some sources said three, others more, some less. You know how the internet is, a mixed bag of information. This one website said there are three holes in the genital area: the urethra, the vagina, and the anus. But then I read something else about something called the “greater vestibular ducts” which are apparently two tiny holes on either side of the vagina.
So, feeling a bit confused but also super curious, I decided to take a closer look at myself. I grabbed a mirror and, well, got down to business. It wasn’t the most comfortable thing, but hey, knowledge is power, right?
I started by identifying the most obvious ones. The anus was easy to spot. Then, moving up, I found the vaginal opening. That was pretty clear too. Above that, I found a tiny little hole which, from what I read, is the urethra, where the pee comes out. So far, so good, that’s three.
Now, about those “greater vestibular ducts.” I looked really closely, and honestly, I couldn’t see anything that looked like two extra holes around my vagina. Maybe they’re just super tiny, or maybe not everyone has them? I don’t know, but I couldn’t find them on me.
My Findings
- Anus: This one’s pretty straightforward. It’s at the back and it’s where the poop comes out.
- Vaginal opening: This is the one in the middle. It’s the biggest of the three and it’s where babies come out and where the fun stuff happens.
- Urethra: This is the smallest one and it’s above the vaginal opening. It’s just for peeing.
So, based on my little self-exploration session, I’m going with three as the magic number. I couldn’t find any other holes, at least not that I could see. It’s possible there are other tiny openings that are just too small to notice, but for all practical purposes, I’d say women have three holes down there.

It was a bit of a weird journey, but hey, I learned something new about my own body, and that’s always a good thing. Plus, now I can confidently answer that question if anyone ever asks! So there you have it, my little adventure in anatomy. Hope you found it interesting, or at least not too gross!
