between the legs

Through the thighs

Between the legs describes the area of the body from the inner thighs to the groin, or movement passing through that space.

The phrase often serves as a euphemism for genitals: He got kicked between the legs.

In sports, it describes a ball or puck passed through an opponent's stance: She nutmegged the defender, slipping it right between the legs.
