vaginal opening

Female genital aperture

The vaginal opening is the external entrance to the vagina, located between the urethral opening and the anus.

In medical contexts, it's called the vaginal introitus.

The opening may be partially covered by the hymen, a thin membrane that typically stretches or tears with sexual activity or other physical exertion.
