Errrr … a little tricky to word … what’s a little girl’s equivalent to a 'willy'?

We've many GGC as well, I can't think of a time I was needed to name bits.

Undercarriage!
Sorry that's probably terribly vulgar🤣🤣🤣

We've 4 daughters and 7 granddaughters, only one grandson. Never needed any special words apart from generic 'your bits'.

Belardo - but surely you would be very concerned if she had actually hurt her "vagina"...
That would be odd - as well as serious.

Leelaylo

I always encouraged my daughter to call it her vagina but for some unknown reason she always referred to it as her Fu Fu

Leelaylo here in my area FuFu is used too. Also Flower and FanFan! When they pass into school, vagina is the preferred description.

Cannot think of a time when i have needed to use a word. They would soon of told me if they needed to as we were always very open with them..

It’s the personal stories about grandchildren that are distressing me Wyllow, because I know what use will be made of them.

That’s not a comment about the OP but about the open nature of Gransnet where posts are available for anyone to view.

I see that Gransnet have removed mine and Sago’s posts as troll hunting.

Then in a general sense I will say do not post stories of your grandchildren referring to the subject of this post.

The vocabulary will have alerted the feeds of those who are interested in such details for their titillation even if the OP is genuine.

I think Gransnet has made a very poor decision here and I will be reporting myself as the only way I can think of to ask them to consider their safeguards.

Thank you Lathyrus3 I’m proud to be troll hunter!

I never fail to be surprised by this forum.

My rule is would I ask this question in RL?
If the answer is no then stop!

When I was little I used to say I had a sore bottom (ie “ front bottom” ). Sometimes, with a giggle we would talk about a “wee wee hole.”.
I never needed to talk about this area with my granddaughter and I don’t remember any special words used with my daughter at a young age, apart from “ bottom”. A bit older and the correct anatomical words were used.

Oh, get real - this is just the kind of discussion that Mumsnet would have great interest in. Gransnet is has plenty of posts referring to body parts including intimate ones on the health threads and - gasp - sometimes we even mention sex!

I agree with the mods and maybe it's best dropped - instead of continuing to haunt and criticise the O/P.

GrannieWalker -
Your post wasn't offensive to me .

When do we need to talk about our bits ?Well actually we do sometimes :

One of daughters caught thrush from using a house guest's towel and one occasion my other daughter needed to explain that she'd hurt herself. Shed been thrown forward onto the pommel of a saddle and was in a great deal of pain . She had slightly torn herself. It was okay.

I don't think that it matters what we call our bits. Sooner or later we learn the proper names. In my family we persisted with the baby names in our tongue in cheek way .
.
I don't think that there was anything smutty or sinister in GrannieWalker's post.

My mum had a really cute name for it. ‘Kukuchee’ - I don’t know why - I don’t know whether that was commonly used, or whether it was my mum’s special word for me. When I used to have a shower, , she would say ‘don’t forget to wash your ‘kukuchee’ 😂

It is important that a child you have responsibility for at any one time and for however long a period should be able to report if someone touched them in their private parts or in any way inappropriately.

So there is a very valid reason for both the carer/parent,grandparent and child in question to be “on the same page” and I think that it is utterly naive of those adults who have questioned the necessity of a mutually agreed term/name that will be immediately understood by both the responsible adult and the child.
This also ensures all concerned don’t waste their energy on their own embarrassment but instead deal with the issue.

Do they need words, pointing would do or saying they were touched under their pants.

I used to work for the police, seen many statements from abused children and even without an agreed word they can certainly communicate what has happened.

I'm really not narrow minded or embarrassed but , to me, it is very odd that a grandparent feels they need to know in such detail what to call these parts. What sort of discussions are you anticipating having with these young children?!

Exactly what I was thinking. I've got eight GC, have done and still do lots of childcare and I can't think of an occasion when I've needed to think about this.

A little chuckle. My daughter's young friend referred to pubic hair as public hair!

Brilliant! Thanks for making me chuckle, Dollygloss. It certainty is public hair on the Brighton nudist beach though! 😊

I call my lower- front ..err, hum. Lady bit my Noo-noo & strangely, in a very old-fashioned way, I call my breasts...Busoms!
Which sounds quite Matronly in comparison. 😶

Willy and Mary.

Surely we are talking defaecation not sexual parts. In which case, you talk about the bladder.

I too, am of the call spade a spade brigade, bladder, vagina, anus, generically called 'bottom'

Defaecation refers to faeces, eliminated from the anus.

The bladder only contains urine, hence urination.

A lot of grandparents do daily childcare these days and a granddaughter might be sore in that area or may have hurt herself. She might also need to discuss safeguarding issues. Personally, for young kids of both sexes, I would use "private parts".

Er a bit delicate...but foo or foo foo all said very cheekily .
We used to say fanny , but that's Anerican for backside .
Lady bits is another.
If older with pubic hair then lady garden .
And also vag !
I don't think little girls want to say vagina and vulva.
For guys - winky when small and ding a ling when older .
My mother was very easily embarrassed by the proper anatomical names.
My kids always used to laugh about things .
Pet names and alternative names for objects have always been the norm in my family .
We also love to play on words .

When I was little I would call it my wee wee.
Am not sure I want to divulge what my GCs call it, am pretty sure their parents would be mortified.

Front bottom. Simples.

My daughter called hers her “lady bits” and her girls said the same.When my son was born 10 years after my daughter she helped change his nappy and immediate.y told us he had a wee spare part .We all called it babies spare part for years
