Don’t be scared—they’re like jewelry!
If you’re new to the world of BDSM and erotic pain/pleasure, the idea of a clit clamp might terrify you. But don't be scared—these little sex toys, often referred to as clitoral jewelry, can seriously enhance your sex life and even help you have stronger orgasms.
Clit clamps are pretty similar to nipple clamps . "They're used to enhance sexual pleasure by pinching or squeezing the clit," explains Janet Brito, PhD, a clinical psychologist and sexologist in Honolulu. "The clit clamp applies pressure to the clit, thus restricting blood flow, and then releasing it. This restriction and release of blood flow is what causes the pleasure."
Clit clamps can be a great addition to foreplay, or can give you pleasure while you pleasure your partner. They can also be worn on a date or to a party as a sexy secret between you and your partner. Just know that, if you're using one for long periods of time, you need to loosen the clamp so it doesn't restrict blood flow too much.
To begin using a clit clamp, Brito recommends starting slow. "Try the clamp on your earlobe, finger tip, or other sensitive body part before you squeeze your clit with it," she suggests. Once you feel comfortable with the power of the clamp, "begin with manual stimulation, or use a vibrator to discover how your clitoris likes to be touched." If you're with a partner, Brito says to begin with oral sex. "This will ensure the blood flow is going, before you put the clamp on," she explains.
From there, you can begin using the clamp on your labia and the base of your clitoris or clitoral hood. Brito also recommends using lube with the clamp, especially if you're new to BDSM.
When you do release the clamp, there will be a rush of increased sensation, so make sure to take the clamp off before you’re ready to climax. As you get used to the clamp, try timing it with your orgasm for an incredible added rush.
Now that you know how to use a clit clamp, all you need to do is find the right one for you. Think about the material, size, and weight of your clamp, and keep in mind that many nipple clamps can also be used as clit clamps—as long as they're gentle. There are a lot of choices out there, but these nine clit clamps are the best for both newbies and seasoned pros.
Shaped like the letter Y, this dual nipple and clit clamp toy can be worn under clothes or during sexy time. Completely adjustable, it’s made of safe metals (aluminum and steel)—just one reason why it comes highly recommended by Brito.
Playing into the idea of clitoral jewelry, this beaded clamp is not only simple and easy to use, but it's also a serious looker. The beads add a bit of extra weight and swing, both of which enhance an already pleasurable experience.
For all you fancy peeps, this little baby's for you. Add this dual clit/nipple clamp—complete with a gorgeous gold body chain—to your favorite evening outfit, or wear it alone for a sexy night in.
These are technically nipple clamps, but you can totally use them as a clit clamp instead, or even at the same time. Wherever you choose to put 'em, they'll definitely enhance your foreplay—and the rest of your night.
These small battery-powered cuties are a perfect mix of clamp and vibrator. Clip them on, and prepare to have a completely hands-free orgasm. Better yet, add the second to your labia or nipple for more pleasure.
A beautiful piece of jewelry, this adjustable clamp has soft rubber edges and a long body to accomodate all shapes and sizes. Pro tip: Stick this clamp in the freezer for five minutes before play for some intense chilly pleasure.
FYI: Rose gold isn’t just for earrings and necklaces.
If you’re in a long distance relationship and video chat sex is your jam, try using this vibrating clamp that's powered by a USB. Call up your boo, plug in, and have a sultry time.
Tell your partner who’s boss with this Queen clit clamp. Adorable and totally affordable, this charmed beauty is great for all you royal babes.

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."

Piercings going through the actual clitoris are rare. Many who talk about having their “clit done,” or come into the studio to request a clitoris piercing, are actually referring to a clitorial hood piercing. There is a big distinction between the two, and it’s important to recognize the difference: the clitoral hood is the skin covering the sensitive tissue; the clitoris (technically, the clitoral glans) is the ultra-sensitive “nub” underneath the hood. The clitoris is a densely-packed bundle of nerves, which means this can be an an intense piercing to sit through. Of course, this is the reason many people choose this piercing in the first place; lots of nerves means a piercing that provides lots of sensation! When considering a clitoris piercing, the first thing that must be determined is size: is the clitoris large enough to accommodate jewelry? As a general rule, to even consider the piercing the clitoris should be as large as the end of a pinky finger. (Yes, that large.) Smaller than this and the piercing has a good chance of rejecting. The clitoral hood should also be smaller and easily retracted, leaving the clitoris exposed. Too large or too tight a hood can put pressure on the piercing, interfering with healing, causing trauma, and contributing to the risk of the piercing shifting or even rejecting. If the clitoris is being pierced horizontally, a suitable jewelry option is a ring with a small enough diameter to comfortably tuck inside the outer labia. For vertical piercings, a straight barbell is used. (One with smaller ends that can be tucked under the hood.) 14 gauge jewelry is usually the thinnest that is used for an initial piercing—if the clitoral glans is too small to support 14 gauge jewelry, it probably shouldn’t be pierced—but if the glans is large enough, 12 gauge jewelry can be used as well. The piercing can also be stretched to accommodate larger jewelry once it is healed. If considering a clitoris piercing, make sure you connect with an experienced piercer — most importantly, one who has experience with this piercing. A clitoris piercing is not one to put in the hands of an amateur. Not all of our piercers on staff have experience with this one, so if
