I got really sick before christmas and was put on antibiotics. So I thought I'd make the best out of the situation! Hey, why not get a piercing so if it does for some reason get infected, I'm already taking medicine. Funny.. that was really my motivation behind getting my first genital piercing.
At A Glance Author anonymous Contact anonymous@bme.anon When A month ago Artist Noah Studio Evolutions Location Albuquerque, NM In the beginning, the VCH wasn't even an option. I don't know why, but I had never even THOUGHT of a piercing so close to my sensitive bits. At that point I didn't know the difference between a hood piercing and a clit piercing. Had I realized that it's just skin, I would have had this piercing long ago. I had firmly decided on a pair of inner labia piercings. But in shopping around all the piercing studios in my city, one of the piercers suggested I consider it. So I began my research..
Once I read stories here (and this website IS the best place for piercing research), I decided it wasn't as risky as I thought. I did, however, spend extensive time doing research beforehand on both the piercing and more importantly, the piercer. I had a navel piercing some time before at another shop in town. And the fucker pierced it crooked! aaaaah! So finally, Evolutions was chosen as the least likely place to render me infertile :) Noah was extremely professional as are all the piercers at this shop. I highly recommend the shop if you are anywhere near New Mexico.
Beforehand, I did the pinch test to see if I was going to be able to handle this piercing - and I passed easily.
The piercing was sooooo easy. No clamps were used. The most uncomfortable part of the whole event was when he put the receiving tube under my hood. The pain from the needle for me can best be described as equivalent to having an IV inserted under your skin. I say this because it was slightly more painful than a shot. In my opinion, this was less painful than a normal ear piercing - which can really hurt sometimes. And I didn't even feel the jewelry being inserted. Probably because at that point I was sooo excited about my new piercing! My piercer was so professional that it honestly just felt like a trip to the gynecologist. He even whipped out the stirrups - which I highly recommend using to help you resist clamping your knees together. I was able to be pierced with a beautiful piece of jewelry. It was a 14g curved titanium barbell with two white pearl-like looking stones. In a few weeks i'm going to move up to a 12g. Note that this piercing will stretch itself over time. The tissue down below is very soft and from 'normal wear and tear' you'll find it to quickly stretch up to the next gauge. But hey - bigger gauge means bigger jewelry and that is certainly a plus with this piercing ;) When I feel more comfortable changing my jewelry myself, I think I will get a set of 'weekend' jewelry with larger balls for example.
Afterwards, I was perfectly fine to walk normal. There was no throbbing pain like you sometimes have immediately after other piercings. There was no dizziness. Nothing. It bled maybe 4 drops that evening when I tried to sit down too fast. Within 5 days I started riding my bike again (carefully). but it took about a week to be 100% comfortable with sitting down and standing up at a normal rate.
I cleaned it with antibacterial soap and soaked in sea salt 1-2 times per day for around a week. Since then, I haven't had to do any maintenance. easy easy easy. Honestly. It took about 2.5 weeks to heal. I had convinced myself that cleaning it for one week would be sufficient because the vagina is self cleaning anyway. And it was true. My advice for this piercing, and ALL piercings, is to follow the 'leave it the hell alone' rule. Although it is pretty and shiny, DO NOT touch a healing piercing except when you are cleaning it. Especially during the first week, which is unfortunately when you want to touch it the most!
And now of course, the best part... Wow! I think I don't need a boyfriend ever again. It took me over a week to get up the nerve to 'use' it. It probably would have been fine to do so days before though. I opted for the smallest jewelry to begin with. This was sufficient for me. I didn't want to be riding down the road on my bike all horny everyday. This way, I only have an orgasm when I'm ready for one. For sure I can tell a difference in the intensity and frequency of my orgasms. Much much better now. I would estimate that it tripled the amount of orgasms I have per month. And hey, what better reason is there to get this piercing???
