Topic: what do you call your private bits? Posted: 13 March 2007 at 9:47am |
Hi! I know we are supposed to teach our children to call all their bits by their real names, but I'm sorry, it just sounds silly saying to my DD thats your vagina & anus (yes, I have read in two books lately that anus should be used not bum which in my opinon is different anyhow, but hey ho, I'm no expert) ....anyway, just interested what everybody else calls everything

Ella calls hers her giney and her bottom.
She couldn't quite say vagina so I figured giney was close enough that anyone professional who asked would know what she was on about.

jack calls them 'penis' and 'gina'. couldn't be bothered with all the fluffy names you can use, figured it's better for people to know what he's really on about....which may come back to haunt me later!

Bay calls his a "doodle" or "diddle" and the back is his bum.
My nephew calls his a "peke".

nothing wrong with bum to me - if i was refering to his anus i would call it anus - but i havent had a need to yet... penis is used here but we also refer to it as a willie too - i am of the opinion that they need to know the correct names but they dont have to be used all the time as slang words for privates are always used too and i wouldnt want my child to be laughed at for not knowing what a willie was...
havent had much need for vagina or vulva or any of that tho luckily.

We usually refer to front bottom and back bottom... or the whole as a bottom. Sometimes there is reference to "where my wees comes from" etc and I taught Hannah what her anus was the other day (which incidentally is very different from bum in my opinion!!). But I added that it's "private" to talk about anuses lol, to help curb any tea-time conversation which would otherwise come up.
I don't know when I'll introduce "vagina"... Hannah doesn't even know that she has one!

I used to say whizzer, but now I say diddle and bottom or bum, and he knows what they are, and can say all of them (diddle, bottom and bum) I asked him this morning if he knew where wees came from and poos, and he knows, he grabbed his bits. He likes to bust in on me when I'm on the loo and say bye bye wees when I flush! lol! Haven't done the whole vagina thing yet... Probably will say front bottom or giney. Vagina and vulva make me feel a little "school teachery"?. I HATE fu fu, I cruinge when I hear people say that, so we won't be saying that.

DH hates it when I say giney to Abigail, so he has to suck it in. The older kids know the real names of their bits, but ever since he was two Jayden has called it his "nugget" for some reason and it has stuck. So although he knows it's real name we refer to it as nugget and at least that way when we are out and he says at the top of his voice "Owww my nugget hurts" no one else knows what the hell he is talking about. Not sure when I will use the words vagina with Abby as she has the habit of repeating new words over and over again which could cause some very embarrassing moments. She calls it her bum. As for Anus I don't use that term it bum or bottom.

there is just no nice word for vagina is there, I mean diddle, wizzer, doddle etc are all non offensive names for the lads, but for us girls we have a choice of names that just like jacobs Mum most make me cringe, they are all very adult like names and just crude.
I have never heard of giney, I think that seems to be the best of a bad bunch
thanks everyone!

We use fanny, willy and bum/butt.
They know the real terms but prefer to use the above.

when i was younger we use to call it "tontons", "hamburger" and well i wont say the others as these are gross enough!! I remember always refering to it as "tontons" but my sis taught me that as my mother is very "vagina/penis" worded! so im guessing she made us say it properly!

We use Bum and Zaara knows what it is. However I never used any thing for vagina.....however when I change her nappy and she touches her self there...I say "Dont Touch" ...because I am changing her and now every time I say Dont Touch she touches her self there...Crap I think thats what she thinks its called! I might have to teach her other wise.

when the boys played with themsleves when i changed them i would tell them to leave it alone - you can play with it in the bath if you want.
i cant even remember what we called them when i was younger, think mum referred to it as a fanny.
