I have a VCH piercing which has only recently started getting flagged. Also a very awkward pat down.

u/Gilokee 29d ago

is vch "vaginal clit hood"?

650

u/wannabyte 29d ago

Vertical clit hood

298

u/Gilokee 29d ago

I was so close!!

205

u/wannabyte 29d ago

Very! The counterpart is a hch, or the horizontal version, so that’s how they get differentiated.

u/socool111 29d ago

If it’s not indecent to ask…was that not extremely painful to get? Like isn’t the whole point of the clit to be almost entirely nerve endings?

Then once you have it…is it more pleasurable to be touched there? Is there a slight and constant pleasurable tingle? Or if you shift your hips just right it gives you a rush? Or does it just make simulation more intense? Or is it purely decoration?

207

u/wannabyte 29d ago

Sure I don’t mind!

It wasn’t that bad to get! The piecing is just through the hood, not the actual clit so really just going through a thin membrane. It was less painful and faster to heal than my helix (upper ear) piercing.

For me it definitely adds to the sensations. And also, though not as frequently when I first got it, it came sometimes self-stimulate if that makes sense?

Basically it sits so that the bottom ball of the piercing rests on top of the clit.

Like anything else you get used to it. I barely notice it now, except for rarely when I happen to move a certain way.

u/HairRepresentative85 29d ago

I’ve always wanted one. Feel too old for that now lol

23

u/wannabyte 29d ago

If you want one you should definitely go for it! Just make sure you go to a reputable piercer, and if they pull out clamps run because they aren’t needed.

14

u/PaisleyLeopard 29d ago

Not necessarily. My first VCH wasn’t placed correctly so I had it redone. The second piercer is highly regarded in the piercing community and does stellar work. He used a clamp and got my VCH placed exactly perfect, so it’s functional as well as pretty. My sex life dramatically improved after that second piercing.

u/hairy_butts 29d ago

You’d be surprised, after the first couple days you get used to it and can ignore it especially with underwear and pants holding things close and preventing movement. But if you want you can basically get a hands free arrival with the right muscle movements/contractions.

u/no___personality 29d ago

I removed mine many years ago. The first part of this was correct for me, but not the second part. Everyone's anatomy is different.

u/MeetBeep 29d ago

I forget that I have mine lol. It was the least painful piercing

u/ScrotalSmorgasbord 29d ago

I had to take my helix piercings out. As a dude in the trades they just never healed as they were constantly being jostled or snagged. Lasted about 6 months until I was like "you know what? Maybe the punk rock/goth aesthetic isn't the safest around a bunch of heat, motors, belts, fans, and electricity" and took out all of my piercings lol. This was a few years ago and now I look like a normal almost 40 year old dude and people who didn't know me prior are shocked when they see older pics of me.

u/RainLoveMu 29d ago

So many questions, sorry. How come you don’t remove it before flying? Is it hard to take off?

15

u/wannabyte 29d ago

Very hard to take off, and because it’s a membrane it can grow over pretty quickly.

My piercer has one too and she had to take it out for surgery and then get re-pierced after.

4

u/RainLoveMu 29d ago

Oh gotcha. My second earlobes are a massive PITA if I remove them. I’ve had to re-pierce at home too many times. It’s on my list to visit a decent tattoo shop and see if they can fix for me.

u/iboi_goodperv69 29d ago

Uh, since you're already replying, who did the piercing?

9

u/wannabyte 29d ago

There is only one APP certified piercer near me (I’m in a pretty rural area and they were about an hour away) so that is who I went to. But any certified piercer should be able to do it.

2

u/iboi_goodperv69 29d ago

Oh... that's neat. Never would have guessed.

u/Thick_Management1363 29d ago

My upper helix took almost a year to heal but the second piercing on earlobes were the worst. If you don't mind me asking, how long does a clit piercing take to heal? Are you able to swap it for non-metallic ones in case of a MRI? I'm very late to the thread so apologies if you have answered it already.

2

u/wannabyte 29d ago

It took about 6 weeks to heal, it was very fast and easy to care for.

You can swap for a non-metallic one, but it is very hard to take out. Mine is med-grade titanium so the only time I had an MRI with it they just let me keep it in.

The few times I have changed it I have gone back to the piercer and had her do it.

1

u/Thick_Management1363 29d ago

6 weeks is fast, wow! I thought it would take longer given the location, friction against underwear etc. Our bodies are truly fascinating. I had a whole plan of getting my daith or maybe get two more helix piercings. However, all that went out the window when I got the first one and the pain was something else.

Thanks for answering!

Lol yeah, I think you got the point across

1

u/Adelineyyy 29d ago

One more question pls why tho? I mean ppl do piercings to show outside to look good or cool ig then why doing it on clit hood?

5

u/wannabyte 29d ago

It’s intimate I guess. I know it’s there, my husband enjoys it, and it’s something that only we really get to see.

57

u/rhydderch_hael 29d ago

The clitoral hood is closer to the foreskin on a penis, so while I'm sure it would be painful, it wouldn't be anywhere near as painful as a piercing through the clitoris.

36

u/Unhappy-Plastic2017 29d ago

I'm a guy and I physically cringed when you said piercing the clitoris

3

u/big_rod_of_power 29d ago

Also excuse my limited knowledge but do people even get piercings though the clitoris? Doesn't it destory the nerve endings and the flicking the ol' bean just don't work as well?

12

u/Fern_Cloud 29d ago

I'm part of an extreme body mod group, I've heard of a couple of women who have pierced their clitoris and a few gentlemen who bisected their penis. So yeah people do it but they probably shouldn't.

8

u/k1ryatsura 29d ago

bisected their what now? why did i ever thought learning english was a good idea? :'(

u/BeigeVelociraptor 29d ago

I, too, regret being literate right now.

2

u/Fern_Cloud 29d ago

That was pretty much my reaction as well.

u/kettish 29d ago

You can look up triangle piercings for what’s closest but to my knowledge no, except a few rare exceptions

9

u/CoffeeXKing 29d ago

To my knowledge, no, because of the potential for damage to the clit.

u/honorlessmaid 29d ago

Temporarily for fetish purposes, yes and all the time. R/pussytorture is an interesting sub

u/lovelywonderland 29d ago edited 29d ago

I also have a VCH and love anonymously oversharing on the internet lmao

It has 100% improved sex for me. Because of the jewelry, when things are moving around while doing the deed, it just is able to stimulate parts of my clit that otherwise couldn’t be accessed. Even just the slight motion has improved every single sex position and I can now orgasm from any position when I previously wasn’t able to. A big part of this I’m sure is mental because I’m much more consciously thinking about how the area feels.

That being said, as with all functional piercings, your mileage may vary depending on your anatomy and the degree to which you get desensitized to things. I have both nipples pierced and one got a huge increase in sensation and the other…she’s just kind of there lol

EDIT: To answer your question about it being painful to get, yes it was. In the instant of the needle going through, it was for sure my most painful piercing (I have 20 for reference). However, there was no aching or tenderness that I had with every other piercing. I’d compare it to someone flicking your ear hard. Hurts in the moment, but doesn’t really leave any throbbing. If for some reason I had to, I’d much rather get my VCH redone than my tongue for comparison.

1

u/AliceInNegaland 29d ago

I’ve had a VCH and it was less painful than my nipples, personally. Super easy healing, too.

3

u/therearenonamesallow 29d ago

If it’s not too personal and I don’t mean this condescendingly but, why get one?

3

u/wannabyte 29d ago

I got mine after I had been injured in an accident and off work for a few months. I really wanted to do something and so while I was stuck in bed I started researching different piercings and then found this one and decided to go for it!

3

u/Seguridado 29d ago

My brain went "horizontal venison", almost broke out fava beans and chianti.

4

u/kinkyonthe_loki69 29d ago

Is one better than the other? Imagine horizontal could cause more damage during activities? Or do people usually take them out when running etc.

14

u/wannabyte 29d ago edited 29d ago

It really depends on your anatomy. Not every clit is designed for every piercing. I am very much an innie, so my piercer didn’t think a horizontal one would sit well or be comfortable.

For the vertical you need enough space to support the piercing. Mine is pretty small, but I was just able to get the smallest size.

They will do a cue-tip test where they take the cotton off the top of the tip to make it less bulky, and will then insert it under the hood, and if you have at least enough space for the top of the cuetip then it should work.

u/Standingonachair 29d ago

I view it like a lion mouth door knocker on a house: it functions exactly the same but seems somewhat more grandiose and exciting to use.

u/Dark-ScorpionX 29d ago

That’s what she kept saying, so she got the piercing

Is that kind of hood for more intake to the turbo?

Gotta get me one of those then so I can get some action.
