Intimate piercing for women - all information in our FAQ

In this blog post we briefly and concisely answer the most frequently asked questions about intimate piercings for women. Please note, however, that if you have any further questions, you should consult your piercer.

1. Is the sensation of pain particularly intense during an intimate piercing?

Basically, all piercings hurt when pierced. How severe depends on the location and of course your own level of pain. Since there are many nerves in the intimate area, especially the clitoris, it may well be that this area is more sensitive than others. Nevertheless, many compare the pain to a classic piercing in the mouth, belly button or nose. But one thing is clear: a bit of courage is definitely required to jump off!

2. What different types of genital piercings are available?

Clitoris piercing: The clitoral hood piercing, especially when pierced vertically through the clitoral hood, is probably the most popular genital piercing as it is considered very stimulating during sexual intercourse. However, it is also possible to pierce the ring or rod horizontally through the foreskin.

The Christina piercing: The piercing is done at the top of the vagina and comes out at the upper mons pubis, where the labia come apart.

Clitoris piercing: The clitoris piercing is pierced vertically or horizontally through the clitoris. As with all other piercings, an experienced piercer is required to ensure that no nerves are injured.

Labia piercing: Here the piercing is done either through the inner or outer labia.

Fourchette piercing: This piercing is done below the woman's two labia minora.

3. How should I care for my piercing after piercing? 

For the first few weeks, you should avoid all sexual contact to ensure “smooth” healing. Hygiene comes first as the intimate area is prone to inflammation. Therefore, in addition to friction, avoid bathtubs, saunas and swimming pools for about 4-6 weeks. Also avoid washing lotions and disinfectant sprays.

4. How long does healing usually take?

The exact duration can vary, but generally you should expect three to four weeks. Your piercer will give you specific instructions.

5. What are the basic care rules during this period?

• Do not rotate or move your piercing while there is still crust left.
• Do not touch the piercing or piercing canal with unwashed hands.
• Be careful with friction or pressure from your clothing.
• Avoid contact with soap, shower gel and foreign body fluids.
• Rinses or baths with chamomile concentrate and disinfection with salt water are recommended.

Remember, these rules will help minimize the risk of complications and ensure that your new piercing heals optimally. If you are unsure or have any problems, please seek professional advice.
