There are a lot of things to know about clit piercings before you choose to get one, and you should make yourself aware of the healing process to minimize pain and scar tissue. Fortunately, we’ve got the answers to all your burning questions about clitoral piercings.
Are There Different Types of Clit Piercings?
Yes. A piercing directly through the clitoral glans is one type. The more common type is through the clitoral hood. This type of piercing is less painful and often easier to keep in place than a direct glans piercing. You may only be a candidate for a clitoral hood piercing if your clitoris remains tucked too closely to your body or hidden by your hood when not erect – up to 95% of women aren’t suited for a glans piecing. A piercing artist will be able to tell you which type of clitoris piecing you can get.
Clitoral hood piercings will be defined by whether they’re vertical (VCH) or horizontal (HCH). This piercing provides the most stimulation to your clit. Vertical hood piercings placed at either or both sides of the clitoris are sometimes known as Diana piercings. A horizontal hood piercing as an ornamental piercing because, unless the jewelry is a a circular barbell that can be placed directly against the clitoris, it won’t provide additional stimulation.
There are also non-clitoral genital piercings for women. These include piercing of the inner and outer labia, a fourchette, which is a vertical piercing at the perineum. A triangle piercing is a horizontal piercing behind the clitoris at the base of the hood. This piercing provides sensation from behind the clitoris. You’ll only be able to get this piercing if you can pinch the shaft of the glans and lift it up to create space for the piercing. This correct position of this piercing is high enough that it creates a single hole rather than two separate inner labia piercings.

What Type of Jewelry Is Used for A Clitoris Piercing?
You can use either a captive bead ring or a barbell through a clitoral piercing. Both of these types of jewelry also work for hood piercings, depending upon the type, and straight barbells are used for fourchette piercings. A circular barbell might be used for a triangle piercing rather than an open, curved barbell.
Typically, a 16 gauge barbell is used for most of these piercings, but you may want to start with a 12 gauge for a triangle piercing.
Will a Clit Piercing Hurt?
Like any piercing, a needle is going through your body, so it will hurt. How much depends on your pain tolerance. Your piercing professional might recommend that you take a non-aspirin pain killer such as ibuprofen prior to your appointment, but the actual procedure is quite quick. After your piercing has healed, it shouldn’t hurt. You probably won’t even be aware of the jewelry in your clitoris. However, a piecing that is too loose and is able to catch on clothing may be painful, especially if it rips out.
How Is A Clit Piercing Done?
Your piercer will first clean the area with an antiseptic. Don’t get any piercing from a business that is less than sterile! A professional always wears gloves, no matter where the piercing is.
Depending upon your anatomy, your piercing professional may clamp your clitoral glans or hood to allow for piercing. Your piercer will use a needle to go through your glans or hood to create the piercing. The needle may be attached to the jewelry that will be placed, your piercer may fill it with the jewelry of your choice that is suitable to the location and style of piercing after removing the needle.
Will a Clitoris Piercing Add Sensation?
Many women experience an increase in clitoral size and growth, which contributes to increased sensitivity in their clitoris. Many women report than fingering, oral sex and even using sex toys becomes more pleasurable after getting a clitoris piercing.
Some woman are even able to experience orgasm for the first time after getting an clit piercing! It may also help you to have multiple orgasms or bring you to orgasm more often with your partner. Learn how to make yourself cum with this post and this guide. Having your clitoris pierced may provide additional stimulation during nonsexual activities.
A triangle piercing provides a different sort of sensation because the feeling comes from behind the clitoris and won’t increase stimulation such as oral sex from the front.
You might find that you like positions such as missionary even better once you get a clitoral piercing.

What Do I Need to Know About Healing?
Healing of a clit piercing can take between four and six weeks. Healing may take longer if the piercing was not done correctly. You can promote healing by keeping the air dry, which may be difficult because your vulva tends to be moist and sweat can accumulate in the area. Wearing cotton undies that allow your vulva to breathe can help with this.
It is important that you use a condom after getting a genital piercing, even if you’re on birth control, have a latex allergy or in a committed relationship. Bacteria in the area can lead to a nasty infection! Read more about using condoms here. You should also use a dental dam when receiving oral sex. Non-sterile pools, hot tubs and lakes can also increase the likelihood of an infection at the piercing site, so avoid swimming until healing has finished.
You can use a number of products to help your piercing heal. These include sterile saline solution and a mixture of 1/4 teaspoon of non-iodized sea salt and one cup of warm distilled or bottled water. You don’t want to use harsh soaps or solutions such as hydrogen peroxide, Bactine, Betadine or even Dial hand soaps.
You can expect the area to be tender and swollen immediately after piercing. Bruising and bleeding are also common. However, pain and marks should decrease as your piercing heals. A yellow or white discharge may form a crust around the jewelry. This is completely normal. As it heals, the piercing may become tighter around the jewelry. Over cleansing a clitoral piercing can actually lead to more irritation.
Your jewelry may not move freely once the piercing heels, and you shouldn’t try to force it. You shouldn’t remove your jewelry during the healing process because a clit piercing can close in a matter of minutes! If your jewelry falls out, replacing it immediately is vital if you don’t want your clitoral piercing to close!
Once it is healed, you can cleanse with a gentle soap that’s not scented or colored, just like you would before getting pierced. While healing, you can mix this soap in a ratio of 1:15 with warm water. You should always wash your hands before cleaning or touching your clitoris after it has been pierced. Intimate cleansing wipes like those from the Before & After brand or Afterglow might help to keep the area clean and fresh!
Even after healing has finished, your piercing can close up quickly, so be careful not to leave the hole empty for any period of time. Consider carrying a sterile piece of jewelry or extra ball end on your person at all times just in case!
What Do Guys Think About a Clitoris Piercing?
Many guys are turned on when they have sex with a woman who has a clitoral piercing. Of course, your man should like it if you enjoy sex more. Plus, he might just find piecing attractive in general. Some men are turned on by the idea of women who take charge of their sexuality and aren’t afraid to show it.
However, some men might try to slut shame you if they know you’ve got your clit pierced. More on that in this post. Finally, some men might take this as a sign as you being too sexual or may simply not like the look of the piercing.
Furthermore, your man may not be thrilled if you choose to not have sex while your piercing heals. Consider giving him amazing head or hand jobs during this time.

Hi, a little while back, my friend sent me a link on masturbation. When I went back to find it, it wasn’t there. I was wondering if you could repost it or something? It helped me but I can’t remember what it said.
Here you go Marie: http://badgirlsbible.com/masturbation-techniques.
I got a vch a few days ago.. It’s really pretty and I think the healing is coming on well…the piercing seem to be almost painless or I could say numb..it doesn’t hurt nor is it irritating…. Is that a good sign
I’m wanting to get a VHP done. However, I bend, squat, and lift a lot a work, as well as ride horses. How will this affect healing or is the piercing a good idea because of my work?
You won’t be able to ride horses for a few weeks but bending over and squatting is fineness just be careful
I had my hood done back in June.
Woken up today & it’s come out I’ve had several piercings and none have actually grown out so I am quite worried, can anyone help?
Talk to your doctor immediately.
In need of some advise. I have had many surgeries and as you may know all piercing MUST come out. Well I have a vertical hood and I had to put a regular hoop in place now I can’t get my barbell threw the back side. What should I do??? Thank you
Talk to a doctor/piercing professional about this.
I’ve recently had a vch piercing done using a 16gauge curved barbell. I’ve read lots of articles saying it should be done with a 14gauge I’m worried. Is 16gauge OK for a vch
Thanks
Its whatever gage your piercer thinks. Just remember the larger the number the smaller the barbells the smaller the number the larger the barbell. My nose is periced with a 20gage but my vch and nipples are pierced with 16
I have a question which genital piercings give you pleasure during sex and oral sex between VCH or HCH?
Yes especially if the percing is directly over your clit.
If a vch piercing falls out typically how hard is it to get back in?
Explain the difference in the feeling a vch and a triangle give a person
VCH can give a little tickle from the front.
Triangle feels more like if someone was pinching gently right behind your clitoris.
Triangle gives a much more intense stimulation.
I’ve had both (and more)
Was the triangle very painful?
I’ve have a VHC for 7 years with no problems, but this week, the jewelry fell out twice in two days with no pain or tugging felt. I have a curved barbell, should I try a different type or jewelry? If so, what kind should I try?
Alot of time cheap or over priced cheaply made jewlery or even jewlery wearing out could be your coulprit in this case. Check the reviews before you buy and jewlery usaully has a shelf life of 5 years.
I just want to know am I going to lose feeling in my vajayjay area if I get my hood pierced ✌????
No I had mine done last month and the sex is amazing you don’t loose feeling at all it’s amazing and it’s so sexy to look at
I’m having mine done Saturday. How long after do you have to abstain??
Do it hurt when you get your hood perce’d did??
Of course it does
How is the best way to stimulate a women with a HCH ring piercing orally?
Talk to her and get feedback. Everyone has different preferences and she’ll let you know what feels best.
So I’ve had a vch for years, this weekend I got my clitoral gland pierced (my piercer was more excited than me) it’s so pretty but the healing is weird because it bleeds and I’m worried… Spot bleeding OK but when I urinate there’s more blood than urine. Should I be concerned or is this just healing.
Talk to your doctor about this.
This Sounds Serious. I Also Have My Clit Glans Pierced, And So Far I Haven’t Had Problems With It Like You’re Describing. I Would See A Doctor Immediately, As It Seems Like You’ve Got An Infection From It Being Poorly Pierced.
I’ve had my click done for over 10 years I need to know do I have to replace the jewelry
No you don’t have to. It doesn’t rust if it’s surgical steel
I got my hood piercing done four weeks ago, and my piercing will randomly smell like gauges(plugs/tunnels) It’s just around the piercing. Is this normal or what do you suggest I do?
Talk to your doctor and a piercing specialist.
I was just a little unclear in the article when you mentioned using a condom even with BC- was that talking about just during the healing process or forever if you have one?
I’ve had my hood pierced for 9 months now and I find it more hard to cum this has done nothing for me other then look pretty
I feel the same way. I’ve had mine for 6 weeks now. I want to remove it, but finding its very hard to unscrew. Not sure what to do at this point.
I’m considering getting a VCH done but I really want to know how much it hurts getting it pierced. I know everyone has a different pain threshold but if those that have had it done please give me an idea of the pain on a scale of 1-10? I like to think that I’m pretty good when it comes to pain. I have 12 piercings and 7 tattoos (including my foot) so I figure I should be able to handle the pain but I just want to have a rough idea of what to expect. Also, how much were you charged to get your piercing please?
I got mine done last night and im shocked because it didn’t hurt that bad maybe a 3 r 4 pain level. My nipples hurt a lot worse then my hood being done.
I also have many tattoos and a couple of piercings. Had my piercing done 10 days ago. It hurts when the needle pushes through. For like 10 seconds it is really painful. Then more numb and swollen for the rest of the day. How ever, the day after and next 5 days or so where very uncomfortable (swelling) and it hurt. Took some anti inflammotory pain meds. But its feeling better now. When the needle goes through I would say it’s like a 8. Don’t fool yourself – it hurts! But its only for a couple of seconds and worth it
I agree totally. That was my experience as well. It is definitely worth the 10 seconds of pain.
I got mines done 3 days ago the pain was like a 2 and I can’t take pain well at all.
I have my vch and triangle done. I had the vch done in 2013. The guy used a needle to pierce and then inserted the jewelry (separately). It really hurt and I couldn’t walk properly fit a few weeks. I wasn’t able to wear jeans comfortably for a long time. Anyway, I got the triangle done and the guy used the needle that allows you to attach the piercing on the end. It hurt, but the vch hurt worse. I had the triangle done last Saturday and it has barely bled. I did accidentally made it twist slightly when I was asleep, but I fixed it by tying one end to my healed vch piercing overnight and voila. I sleep on my back for healing but I usually sleep on my side. I’m happy and love it. Waiting for it to heal so I can have “fun” ????
Most of the vch piercings I’ve seen, or stories I heard, the woman usually say since its just the skin of the hood it’s dull pain. However, I got mine done today and it was an immediate sharp pain.. its been a couple hours and is still tender, painful, and sensitive. Hard to move around. I’m really worried my clit was pierced and I’m going to lose my feeling.. am I just freaking out? Should I let it heel or take it out, or is it just the bar rubbing it because it just got close?
Talk to your doctor and piercist
Has anyone have their vch repierced how common is that? and who was brave enough to do yet twice within atleast a two year span… I really do miss my vch piercing but really afraid it will do damage this time to this sensitive area ???? The first time was painful the whole healing process and was very painful getting pierced; but after that it was amazing, I only had it in for atleast a whole year and took it out bc I was going to have an emergency csection with my first, my husband couldn’t put it in after and I was just getting use to my post baby body and couldn’t bend enough to get it back in! After having a vbac with my second, I feel like I could be ready to get my piercing back it’s been 6 months now my body is back to normal now, I don’t know why I’m reconsidering going threw the same pain again, I’m nervous the whole process will effect the amazingness I experienced before…
Ok I’m a person who likes to have sex is it safe to say can I have sex a couple hours after I get it or I have to wait
Talk to your piercing professional and then talk to your doctor if they can’t answer your questions.
I got my vch piercing about a month and a half ago. I got a closed hoop. I can not seen to move for hoop and I don’t want to force it. Has anyone hard of this will it eventually free up and move with ease ??
I would like to remove my piercing. Where I got it done is 3 hrs away. Was hoping you had information on how to remove it. I cannot get it unscrewed.
I just want to have an orgasm! I’ve never climaxed before just through penetration, I can only climax when my clitoris is played with. Which piercing will help me finally reach the big O? I don’t care about how painful it’ll be, I just want my sexual satisfaction.
I’d love to give you a clear cut answer Candy, but it’s hard to tell. My advice is to talk to your piercing specialist.
Should a condom be used always after piercing or only during the healing?
I recommend using a condom for at least the first 2 to 3 months because if you think about it it’s any stds or semen will irritate it like no other I found that out the hard way 🙁
I got my clit pierced oct 13 2017 and it fell out I did not notice right away and my hole has vanished how long before I can have it redone
I think the pain was less than what it’s perceived to be. It’s more of a trust issue with a random person about to damage your prized goods. I orgasmed for the first time by penetration only just after two weeks of getting my VCH piercing. I climax so intensely now that it almost hurts my entire being. It doesn’t hurt the piercing any but the intensity makes it only possible to climax one time with clitoral stimulation. I don’t have any other piercings or tattoos so it seems a little off the deep end but it is hands down the best thing I ever did for sex! I would recommend this to anyone!!
I’ve had the piercing done three times but had to take it out for various reasons. I want it back but I’m scared about the multiple holes. Will it be an issue, or am I ok to get it redone?
Do “suitcase” piercings exhist? While I know of the infection risks, someone must have tried it. I’m absolutely crazy for them and would love to have one in my partner.
I have had vch about 7 weeks and at the top seems like scar tissue is building up! I went to a piercer that said it was ok and normal she said it wasn’t infected. I still haven’t had that amazing orgasm with piercing and is the extra skin going to ever go away!!
