I am translating an article about parents talking to their kids about sex. It tells parents to avoid using pet names. I need help finding an equivalent for the word "woo-woo" in Spanish which I believe is a pet name for vagina. This is the context: "a child may go to a doctor or nurse and say 'I have a problem with my woo-woo,' and no one knows what she is talking about and they laugh."

Comment: "Thanks Rafael. All excellent suggestions. It was difficult to pick one since I am attempting to translate for a general Latin American audience, but I went for "chocho" since it used a similar sound repetition as the original name "woo-woo". "
