What’s a Vaginal Fart Called?

You might’ve heard the term and chuckled—maybe it happened to you during yoga or after a particularly enthusiastic workout. Vaginal flatulence, though often joked about, is a normal bodily occurrence. It happens when air trapped in the vagina is pushed out, creating a sound that can surprise or embarrass. But what do we actually call it?

The most common slang term is “queef”—a blend of “vagina” and “fart”—widely used in casual conversation, especially in North America. It’s harmless and not related to digestion, unlike intestinal gas. Another, less common term is “vart”, a playful twist on “fart” with a “v” for vagina. While not as widespread, it pops up in online humor and lighthearted discussions.

Then there’s “pussy fart” and the British-leaning “fanny fart”—though note that “fanny” means something very different across the pond. In the UK, “fanny” refers to the vulva, so “fanny fart” makes sense locally, but might raise eyebrows or cause giggles in the U.S., where “fanny” means buttocks.

Despite the humor, vaginal flatulence is nothing to worry about. It’s a natural result of movement, sex, or even inserting a tampon. Bodies are full of quirks, and this is just one of them. While there’s no official medical term that’s quite as catchy as “queef,” the slang has stuck because it’s direct, funny, and human.

So next time you—or someone nearby—lets out a quiet puff from down there, remember: it’s not a fart in the traditional sense, but it’s nothing to be ashamed of. Just anatomy doing its thing.
