From inner labia to 'that bit near your perineum'.
Look, although loads of people think of anything in the pubic region as a 'vagina piercing', we're not talking about getting your actual vaginal canal pierced. That would just be madness. Technically, it would be correct to say vulva piercings, I guess. Basically, what we're on about is any genital piercing that isn't the clitoris and clitoral hood.
From labia, to Christina (or venus) and fourchette (we'll explain later), here's everything you need to know about vagina piercings.
While the piercings detailed below have little direct effect on sexual pleasure, many women and people with vulvas say having them done makes them feel sexy and therefore, more confident when having sex. Obstetrician and gynaecologist Dr Anne Henderson, from Doctify , says, "Everyone can benefit equally from their partner’s piercings given the aesthetic benefits of intimate jewellery, and the psychological benefits which this creates and which are key to an enjoyable sex life.
"It's true to say that a partner without piercings may therefore get as much visual pleasure from the impact of a partner’s vulva piercing as they do, which will have a doubly positive impact on their sex life!" Plus, they look super cute.
Experienced piercer Clem, who works in Topshop Oxford Street's in-house shop Metal Morphosis says these are the things you need to consider.
Inner and outer labia: Two types of piercings can be undertaken involving either the labia majora (larger outer labia) or labia minora (thinner and smaller inner labia).
Christina (or venus): This is a surface piercing carried out vertically, on the pubic or venus mound, which is the prominent fatty pad on the pubic bone just above the clitoris where the outer labia meet.
Fourchette - One of the least common genital piercings as many women and people with vulvas aren't suitable for it (they don't have a pinchable flap of skin to pierce), it's done at the rear rim of the vulva, close to the perineum. Once the jewellery is in, it looks like it sits just under the opening to the vagina.
Price: These piercings can cost anywhere from £80 to £100. Obviously it'll be pricier if you go for fancy jewellery like gold or platinum.
Suitability: Not everyone is suitable for the piercing, so depending on your anatomy a piercer may refuse to carry out the piercing.
Jewellery: Rings, bars (both straight and curves) in titanium, gold, white gold, rose gold, platinum or palladium. You can always change the jewellery once the piercing is totally healed.
Risk: With any piercings, there's always a tiny risk of it becoming infected. Make sure you follow the aftercare instruction provided by your piercer and this will be highly unlikely.
Procedure: Usually, genital piercings are done by appointment only as you'll need a consultation to ensure your anatomy allows for the piercing. Your piercer will also want to find out what you expect from the piercing so they can advise you on the correct jewellery.
Aftercare: A soap product isn't necessary for most - you don't want to kill the healthy bacteria that live in the genital region. A simple sea salt or saline solution wash twice a day (and after sex or masturbation) is sufficient unless you start having a problem. If you feel you need to cleanse the area more thoroughly, use a mild liquid anti-microbial soap (ask your piercer about availability of these products) and clean the piercing by applying a tiny drop of soap to piercing and jewellery. Then thoroughly rinse by applying clean water.
DO NOT allow your piercing to come in contact with any bodily fluids for the first few weeks while it heals. This includes semen, as well as saliva.You're not restricted from sexual activity, but a condom must be used for all sexual contact for at least two weeks. This includes masturbation and the use of sex toys.
Healing: Around eight weeks, but longer depending on the specific piercing. Christina, or venus, piercings can take up to four months. And labia piercings may need three months.
Pain: Look dude, you're getting a hole poked through your vulva, it's not exactly going to be a walk in the park. However, piercers promise the procedure is quick. And pain's all relative anyway, if you've got a high pain threshold you'll be groovy.
Dr Anne Henderson says there are a few health concerns to consider before getting a vulva piercing:

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."
Genital Piercing Types That You Must Know
Generous piercings have become an integral part of cultures around the world over time, from rites of passage to aesthetic expression. Piercings offer an opportunity to express one’s individuality, eschewing conformity. There’s a genital piercing for everyone, whether you want to show it off or keep it a secret.
Genital piercing is a form of body piercing that involves piercing a part of the genitalia in order to make it suitable for wearing jewelry. In addition, the term may also be used to describe all body piercings in the areas of the anus, perineum, genitalia, and mons pubis, including anal, guiche, and pubic piercings that do not involve perforation of the genitalia. No matter what sex someone is, they can get a piercing, and there are many forms of piercings available. Additionally, some piercings enhance sexual pleasure by increasing stimulation. Beautification and individualization are the main goals. In many tribal societies, such as in South and East Asia, where they have been a part of the tradition since ancient times, there are women with pierced female organs. Early records of genital piercing can be found in the Kama Sutra, which dates back over 2000 years.
Individuals choose genital piercings based on their own personal preferences. In order to guide your decision, we present some of the most popular male and female genital piercings.
Tradition has it that genital piercings originated in South East Asia, where they can be found in tribes varying from India to Borneo. Piercings of the genitals have a long history, with the Kama Sutra (second century) mentioning the Apadravya, a male genital piercing.
