Everything You Need to Know About Clitoris Piercing

If you're interested in body jewelry and sexual stimulation, a clitoral piercing may have caught your attention. Clitoral piercings can be done on the clitoris or the clitoral hood, with hood piercings being the safer option. The choice to get a clitoral piercing should be well-informed, as it can provide aesthetic and sexual benefits, but only if performed by a professional and with the right techniques.

Types of Clitoral Piercings

1. Glans Piercing: A piercing placed directly on the clitoris, either vertically or horizontally.
2. Vertical Clitoral Hood (VCH) Piercing: Placed vertically through the hood’s peak.
3. Horizontal Clitoral Hood (HCH) Piercing: Placed horizontally along the base of the hood.
4. Triangle Piercing: Placed horizontally through the base of the hood below the shaft of the clitoris.
5. Princess Diana Piercing: A VCH piercing done on the side of the hood tissue.
6. Christina/ Venus Piercing: A piercing that starts from the front of the vulva and emerges at the mons pubis, piercing both the clitoral glans and hood.

Choosing the Right Clitoral Piercing

The best clitoral piercing for you depends on your unique anatomy. Consult a professional piercer to determine your suitability and the best options for you. Most piercers avoid glans piercings, as they're only suitable for those with large and visible clitorises, and the surrounding tissue must be suitable for safe piercing. VCH, HCH, and other hood piercings are the most popular, but your piercer may advise against an HCH piercing if you have a large labia majora.

Sexual Benefits of Clitoral Piercings

Clitoral piercings can enhance sexual pleasure and arousal for both you and your partner. The most sexually stimulating piercings include the VCH, Princess Diana, and triangle piercings. These piercings can stimulate the clitoral glans during intercourse or masturbation, increasing pleasure. The triangle piercing also enhances pleasure during clitoral, vaginal, and anal stimulation. Piercings can also provide stimulation for your partner, either through slight stimulation during intercourse or the visual appeal.

Using Clit Suckers with Piercings

Contrary to popular belief, clit piercings won't prevent the use of clit suckers. Clit suckers don't create a suction force within the vulva, so they won't pull on your clitoral jewelry. Reliable clit suction vibrators, like the Rosekis Clit Sucker, use sonic waves to create pulsing sensations that vibrate the entire clitoral structure.

Materials Used for Clitoral Piercings

Clitoral piercings should be done with implant-grade metals or solid 14-karat gold. Implant-grade metals are thoroughly tested for safety, avoiding the risk of infections, allergic reactions, or irritation. You should avoid cheap metals or materials with low quality standards.

Aftercare and Healing

Clitoral piercings typically heal within 4 to 6 weeks, but it can take up to 6 months for full healing. During this time, you should avoid sexual activity, keep the area clean and dry, and avoid touching the piercing with dirty hands. You should also avoid using harsh soaps, lotions, or other irritants. Follow your piercer's aftercare instructions carefully to avoid complications and ensure a successful healing process.
