The mons pubis (mons veneris) is a cushion of fat and areolar tissue covered with rather firmly adherent integument and hair; it rests upon the external surface of the symphysis and the bodies of the pubes. The area covered by hair ends abruptly above, at about the upper border of the mons pubis. In the male the hair line is usually prolonged upward in the median line as far as the umbilicus. The mons pubis divides at its lower part into the two labia majora, the point of separation constituting the anterior commissure of the vulva.
