interlabial sulcus


Explanation:
Guessing again, but compare these two texts:

Les petites lèvres [...]
• La face externe est séparée de grandes lèvres par le sillon interlabial
http://www.anat-jg.com/PeritoineSous/OGF/Vagin.Vulve.htm

The interlabial sulci are the grooves between the labia majora and the labia minora. The singular for this term is interlabial sulcus, of which there is a left and a right.

neutral  SJLD: don't think so, since this bit is located withing the vestibule/ well exactly, that's why it's not the sillon interlabial IMO - more likely to be the sillon génito-fémoral

  -> Really? To my ear, it sounded as if three separate sites were tested: cul-de-sac, vestibule and sillon; why mention the sillon separately if it's located within the vestibule? // Ooohhh!!! Thanks for explaining.
