The suspensory ligament of the clitoris is a fibrous band at the deep fascial level that extends from the pubic symphysis to the deep fascia of the clitoris, anchoring the clitoris to the pubic symphysis.

[1] By virtue of this connection, the pubic symphysis supports the clitoris.

The suspensory ligament of the clitoris consistently displays two components: a superficial fibro-fatty structure extending from a broad base within the mons pubis to converge on the body of the clitoris and extending into the labia majora, and a deep component with a narrow origin on the symphysis pubis extending to the body and the bulbs of the clitoris.

[2] Its form and position differ from those of the suspensory ligament of the penis.

During sexual arousal, the ligament shortens and swells.
