My DS & DiL say 'girl-bits'. (Also vaj!)
DGD only just starting to talk, tho, so don't know how it'll go later on.

It's 'bits' in our house as well

'bits' sounds fine to me, sort of matter of fact...neither to fanciful or too gynaecological - pretty sure its what my daughter uses also.

As a mother of two sons, gran to a boy and a girl and a still-practising nurse I can't believe that I have to ask this but, to cut to the chase, when with your GD how do you refer to her genitals?

I have GD(5) staying with me for half-term - at bath-time I was helping her to dry and and asked if she'd done her 'privates' properly - yes grandma, I've done my 'bits'.

It was so simple with boys and I was always precise ..... it was a penis.

Mothers of girls please advise!
