The labia minora each bifurcate anteriorly into medial and lateral folds. The medial folds unite at the midline to form the frenulum of the clitoris. The larger lateral folds also unite across the midline to form the clitoral hood or prepuce that covers the glans clitoris and distal parts of the body of the clitoris. Posterior to the vaginal orifice, the labia minora join, forming a transverse skin fold (the fourchette).
