At the moment I wear a 14ga stainless steel captive bead ring, because
my teardrop-shaped ring was somehow uncomfortable during pregnancy,
although I don't now why.
The topic of what to do with my pierce came up some weeks before the
due date during one of the prenatal appointments with my midwife. She
was really interested in how it was done and who did it and why one
would like to have something like the clit hood pierced (now *that*
was easy to explain).
We discussed if I would have to take the ring out when giving birth
and she said it would be better to take it out just in case, although
she didn't think the ring would be really in the way.
So when the birth started (my waters broke) I didn't think about the
ring at all and left it in all through the first stage of labour. Only
when I was nearly ready to push the midwife reminded me of the ring
and Chris (my husband) took it out. The bead is quite loose, so he was
able to open it without pliers. He put some almond oil on the ring and
rotated it through the hole to keep it lubricated and moist and then
took the ring out.
90 minutes later our son was born without any problems and about an
hour later Chris re-inserted the ring. I was really surprised that the
hole didn't close a bit, but maybe I just didn't feel that the hole
was smaller because of the oil. Chris used some oil again and nearly
didn't manage to get the slippery bead in.
Before the birth I didn't expect to keep the hole because I thought
genital pierces would close very fast and I already thought about
getting it redone, but I am very glad I didn't have to.

You’re probably familiar with the different types of ear piercings . And then there are eyebrow piercings, tongue piercings, nose piercings , lip piercings , and so on. As for body piercings , plenty of people get their nipples or belly button pierced, but some head even further south and get genital piercings. People with vulvas can get piercings on the clitoris, the clitoral hood, or the labia, and for those with penises, you can get what’s called a Prince Albert piercing , which exists through the urethra and exits on the underside of the penis.
If you’re curious about clit piercings, you’ve come to the right place. We asked expert Elayne Angel, a piercer who specializes in nipple and genital piercings and the author of The Piercing Bible: The Definitive Guide to Safe Body Piercing , to explain everything you need to know about clitoral piercings.
There’s plenty of detail below, but there are a few things to consider when it comes to clit piercings. First and foremost, if you decide to get one, you need to go to a professional piercer, preferably one who specializes in genital piercings. They’ll be able to tell you whether you’re anatomically suited for a clit piercing (not everyone is, FYI), give you the piercing in a safe and sterile environment, and teach you how to take care of it afterward. V important stuff!
Here’s everything you should know about clit piercings, including the different types of piercings, how badly it hurts to get one, how long they last, and some of the benefits.
First, it's important to note that the term "clitoris piercing" is a bit hard to grasp because clitoral glans piercings are super rare, says Angel. When people talk about clitoris piercings, they’re usually referring to clitoral hood piercings, which are far more common.
However, since no two vulvas are exactly alike, Angel says these piercings are all anatomically dependent. She recommends going to an expert who can consult you and guide your placement options to determine the best for you.
Angel says this piercing is the most popular among the clit piercings because many women are anatomically suited for it. With this piercing, the barbell passes through the clitoral hood vertically (like a belly button ring). The jewelry rests against the clitoris and can add extra stimulation during sex.
"For the VCH, you need to have a deep enough hood without too much pressure from the pubic mound above," says Angel. And actually, anatomical suitability is so important that Angel actually offers online photo consultations so customers can learn which piercing, if any, they're best suited for. You can also try a Q-Tip test at home, which is if you can fit the end of a Q-tip underneath your clitoral hood, you have the required depth for a VCH piercing.
Although requests for the triangle piercing are just as high in demand as the VCH, Angel says she often has to decline, as you have to have a very specific anatomy to get it. This piercing goes underneath the base of the clitoral hood horizontally and rests beneath the clitoral shaft. Where the VCH stimulates the front of the clitoris, the triangle stimulates the back of the clitoris.
In order for the piercing to pass through properly, you need sufficient hood height, symmetry, and the ability to lift and locate the clitoral shaft, among other requirements. However, for those who can and do get the piercing, it comes with some surprising benefits. "I’ve had women with primary anorgasmia achieve success following this piercing," says Angel.
While it might seem similar in name to the fan-favorite VCH, the Horizontal Clitoral Hood piercing is more for decorative purposes than sexual stimulation. Angel says that since these are more ornamental, she doesn't do as many of them. "Most women's hoods cover the glans, so the jewelry in an HCH can't reach it."
Beware, though: Angel adds that many piercers who do these piercings don't understand that if the jewelry doesn't touch the clitoris, it won't add any sensation.
Ironically, Angel says the actual clitoris piercing is the least common genital piercing. "Most women have too small a clitoris and too large a hood for a glans piercing to be safe," she explains. According to her site, 90-95 percent of women are not built to accommodate this kind of piercing, so don't be discouraged if it's not an option for you.
Angel also adds that once the difference between clitoral hood piercings and an actual clitoral glans piercing is explained, most women decide to go for the hood piercing anyways.
FYI, if you’re looking for some clit jewelry that doesn’t involve getting pierced, that totally exists. You can check out clitoral clamps or magnetic jewelry, which also stimulate the area and look cute. It’s not a piercing, obviously, so it might not stay in place quite as well during sex or give you the exact same sensations that a VCH piercing or triangle piercing will — but it’s still worth considering for sure.
This is a super common question when it comes to genital piercings. Like anything else, it varies from person to person and depends on your pain tolerance and preferences. "You might be built for a VCH, but if you have a hypersensitive clitoris, then it wouldn’t be the best choice," Angel says. "A frank discussion with a qualified piercer is important, in addition to your anatomical suitability!"
Angel's website notes that when it comes to VCH piercings, it's basically just a "momentary pinch and a quick, easy healing period."
People get their genitals pierced for multiple reasons. A pretty common reason is to enhance sensations during sexual activity.
Angel says to think of it this way: "If your hood covers your clitoris, but you like direct stimulation, then you or your partner have to have a hand there to lift the hood. But, if you have a VCH, and there’s jewelry resting underneath it against your clitoris, then you’re going to receive more direct stimulation when there is pressure and friction on the area."
But people get clit piercings for a whole bunch of reasons. Angel estimates that 95 percent of her clientele gets them done for sexual enhancement, though many more get them to enhance self-esteem, or reclaim their bodies after illness, abuse, childbirth, or other traumas.
Angel says that these piercings have a tendency to shrink or close extremely quickly. "My suggestion is that if you like your piercing, leave jewelry in it at all times. I do a shocking amount of re-piercing on women who take out their jewelry for very short periods of time—sometimes just momentarily—and lose the piercing!"
Good news: If you follow the instructions for cleaning, genital piercings are very unlikely to get infected. According to Angel, because the area is protected by clothing and seldom handled without thinking about it—like the way you might play with a newly pierced ear in public—genital piercings have less of a chance of infection.
And while there are no studies on the healing rates of genital piercings (a failure of modern science TBH), Angel notes that there are separate studies that indicate that mucous membranes heal faster than regular dermal tissue .
As a tip, snug, supportive, and not restrictive clothing will help it heal faster. Like, leggings are great for healing, as are skirts for cutting down on irritation. Leggings are stretchy and have a softer center seam than traditional jeans, making them a better bet than denim and tight pants.
You also shouldn't go commando, even if you think it'll help you breathe down there. Angel explains that wearing underwear holds the jewelry in place, which minimizes trauma and irritation. It's also an extra barrier of protection between your healing wound and outside germs.
To make sure any piercer is legit, you should do your homework and make sure they're a member of the Association of Professional Piercers (APP) . The APP is a non-profit dedicated to educating people on safe body piercing practices.
While being a member of the APP is a good start when seeking a piercer, Angel explains that members of the APP aren't "certified" by the association, nor does the association monitor the "artistic merit" of the piercer. In other words, even though your piercer is using all the proper sterilization techniques, it doesn't guarantee that they'll know the best place for a piece of jewelry. So it's important to meet with a professional who is forthcoming and listens to all your concerns.
No exceptions. Angel says that even if you have a committed monogamous partner, you'll still need to have gentle, safer sex using barrier protection. You should also steer clear of touching on or near the piercing with dirty fingers, and staying away form pools, lakes, jacuzzis, and other bodies of water. And definitely don't have unprotected sex in any of those bodies of water either.
According to Angel, the piercings can swell or bleed for a couple of days afterward, so the extra backup can be helpful. VCH piercings and clitoral glans piercings heal in 4-6 weeks, while HCH piercings take 6-8 weeks, and the triangle piercing heals in 2-3 months.
While male genital piercings can be similar to female ones (i.e., the Prince Albert is similar to the VCH), Angel adds that men have more external genitalia and, therefore, more piercing options.
However, even though they have more options, it also takes longer for male genital piercings to heal."Their genital dimensions are also larger, so some of the piercings, like ampallang and apadravya (horizontally or vertically through the glans), take considerably longer to heal than any of the female [genital] piercings —about 6-9 months or so."

"You never really get over female genital mutilation. You just learn to live with it."
I was just 11 years old when my stepmom told my 13-year-old sister and me that we were going to be “made into women.” She and my dad said it was a rite of passage and that when we came out of the procedure, we'd get lots of presents. We had no idea what was about to happen. No one told us that our genitals were about to be mutilated.
On the night of August 1, 1984, my stepmom took us to an isolated area about an hour bus ride away from where we lived in Sierra Leone. When we arrived, there were many women waiting outside of a hut. They told us to wait inside the hut while they did something outside. Then one woman told us to take all of our clothes off. They ordered us to go back outside and sit under a tree.
First, they came and got my sister, because she was older. They took her into the hut, and, to this day, I can still hear her screams. When they dragged her back to the tree, she was crying and covered in blood. I had no idea what was going on.
Then, it was my turn. They took me away, blindfolded me, tied my hands behind my back, and had me lie down on the floor on a mat. Several other women spread my legs wide open and pinned my limbs down so I couldn’t fight. The cutter sat on my chest. She was heavyset and naked. I only knew this because, as she began to amputate my clitoris and labia minora, I was in so much shock from the pain that I pulled myself forward and bit her on the bum.
When the cutter was done assaulting me, they removed my blindfold. I was covered in blood, and the women were dancing and singing and shouting and drinking alcohol. They led me back to the tree, with me stumbling the entire way, to sit under the tree with my legs spread wide open. I stared down at myself in horror. All I could see was red.
The pain was excruciating, and it's difficult to compare it to anything, even to the pain of rape, which I suffered later in life. The physical pain, sharp, cutting, but never ending, was only made worse by the emotional pain. What was happening? Why had our parents allowed this to happen? What should we fear next? I didn’t talk to my sister, and she didn’t talk to me.
The night of the mutilation, I woke up to pee and the wound was so fresh, I felt a shooting pain going up my spine and down to the soles of my feet. I tried not to pee, but I couldn’t hold it, so I sat there in pain and let go of the pee, drop by drop.
I bled throughout the night, until it finally stopped the next day. They didn’t stitch up the wound or use any kind of antiseptic. They left us as we were, to live or die. I was lucky, because, in the end, I survived.
Some girls hemorrhage to death. Others die of neurological shock, septic shock , or other infections, says Pierre Foldès, M.D., a French urologist and surgeon who pioneered a surgical method for repairing damage from female genital mutilation.
Female genital mutilation, or FGM, is performed differently in every country and region. Coming from where I do in Sierra Leone, it’s a practice with lots of dark, superstitious rituals, carried out over a period of nine days.
For example, one day, they prepared a meal with red rice—the most nutritious rice grown there, which was really expensive—and fish and something green. They put it on a tray with a stick in the middle of the food. They told my sister and I to eat in a circular motion. If the stick fell or leaned toward either of us, they said we’d die because it meant we practiced witchcraft.
Although we ate lots of greens in West Africa, this was the most disgusting thing I’ve ever tasted; it was like nothing I’d ever had before. I almost puked. After three bites we said we couldn’t do it anymore. Later I found out there’s a myth that the food contains each girls’ own cooked clitoris.
I remember another ritual in the middle of the night, with the moon shining down on us. We were naked again, and we were led to something that looked like a coffin with white fabric draped over it. They told us we had to jump over the box, and if we kicked it, we’d die. My right foot kicked it, and all night I thought that I was going to die.
I thought we were supposed to be made into women. But they didn’t tell us anything about motherhood or about being a wife. Every ritual centered around death.
Before we went back home, the women told me if I told anyone what happened, my stomach would swell up and I would die. When I went back to school, I told a friend, another girl. I was rebellious and wanted to see if I really would die. Nothing happened.
The nine days we were away, my mom knew what was going on but didn't say anything to anyone. She asked me about it when we got back, and when I told her, her response was shocking: She just laughed at me. I realized she didn’t really care.
Hatred immediately filled me. I hated my mom, my father, and my stepmom for allowing this to happen to us. I hated the women who did it to us. For more than 25 years, I fantasized about killing each and every one of them. All of them.
You never really get over female genital mutilation. You just learn to live with it. I’m reminded of the pain every single day when I take a shower or when I use the loo. I was created whole by God, he gave me that part for a reason. I remain complete, but not whole. Something was taken from me.
I still haven’t really talked to my mom or stepmom about what happened. I once told my mom it hurt when she laughed at me after the mutilation, but she didn’
