How it's used
Used primarily as a gentle, euphemistic way to refer to a child's anatomy, similar to saying "pee-pee" in English. It carries a playful and non-threatening tone, making it suitable for parents talking to toddlers rather than in adult contexts. Using it to refer to an adult would sound either absurdly childish or intentionally mocking.
