Skene's Gland Lapel Pin - Gland of the Ladies

This Skene's gland lapel pin shines a light on this underappreciated vaginal gland! Looks great on any doctor or lab coat. This marvelous little 1.25" printed aluminum pin comes packed on a card, designed in the USA and made in China.

Skene's glands are vulva's little helpers! Also known as the periurethral or vestibular glands, these pals are located outside the vaginal wall towards the lower end of the urethra. Skene’s glands provide fluids useful for cleanliness and lubrication in the urethra and vagina. Thanks, Skene's!

Some studies reported a milky fluid released by the Skene's gland during orgasm had the same proteins as the fluid released by the prostate. Skene's sometimes produce this fluid during so-called "female ejaculation," and the shape is similar to seminal vesicles seen atop the prostate. Interesting, huh?

Skene's Glands are named after Dr. Alexander Skene, a 19th century gynecologist. The gland was renamed the female prostate in 2002, because the Skene's and prostate originate from the same set of cells. Learn about other female body parts named after men here.
