The cleft of venus (also called the pudendal cleft, pudendal fissure, or rima pudendi^[1]) is a part of the vulva, the furrow at the base of the mons pubis where it divides to form the labia majora. The name is a reference to the Roman goddess of love, Venus.

In some human females, the clitoral hood and labia minora protrude through the cleft of venus, in others they do not. When tight clothes are worn, the fabric of the tight garment may be pulled into the cleft (often because of a central seam, as in jeans), resulting in a situation known as "cameltoe" in slang terms.
