Vulva

The clitoral hood piercing is a very popular female genital piercing and can be done vertically (VCH) or horizontally (HCH). Contrary to popular myth, the piercing only goes through the protective skin located above the clitoris and not actually through it. This means that it is easy to get done and won’t cause much pain, however can result in an increase in sensitivity. Generally vertical placement results in more sensitivity to the wearer as well as faster healing, however both are anatomical so a consultation is suggested.

The triangle piercing resides behind the clitoris, and is pierced side to side where the inner labia meet the outer labia. Generally the wearer has a large increase in sensitivity, especially during intercourse, as it ‘pushes’ the clitoris outwards. The triangle is a very anatomical piercing, so a consultation is suggested to ensure correct anatomy prior to getting your heart set on it. Bleeding can occur for a first week due to the vascular nature of the tissue it passes through, and often a spread-outwards circular barbell (horse shoe) is worn for the healing, allowing the jewellery to rest in-between the labia majora and minora.

The christina piercing is a vertically placed surface piercing at the top of the labia majora exiting into the pubic mound. They do not add any increase in sensitivity, however are a very visually attractive piercing that can have a multitude of different flat tops. An indent where the pubis meets the labia majora is generally required for this piercing to heal well, allowing the bottom ball to reside inside the outer labia without pressure. If you aren’t sure, come in for an anatomy check!

Labia Minora (inner labial lips) are usually pierced in pairs (one per side), however can be done in multiples if the anatomical structure supports it. They are purely aesthetic piecrings, meaning the wearer won’t feel an increase in sensitivity during sexual activity, however they can be a lovely addition none the less. They are very fast healers due to the minimal amount of tissue and can naturally stretch during daily wear. Rings are generally the most secure and comfortable jewellery to wear, however bars and tunnels can be adorned once healed.

Labia Majora (outter vaginal lips) are usually pierced in pairs (one per side), however can be done in multiples if the anatomical structure supports it. They are purely aesthetic piecrings, meaning the wearer won’t feel an increase in sensitivity during sexual activity, however they can be a lovely addition none the less. They are slower to heal than labia minora (inner lips) as they pass through thicker tissue and not everyone is suited for them. Rings are generally the most secure and comfortable jewellery to wear, however curved bars can be adorned once healed.
