Are there different types of vaginal piercing?
The vagina can be pierced in one of these areas: • Clitoris/clitoris hood. This is the most popular type of vaginal piercing. It’s thought to stimulate the sensitive clitoral tissue during sex. Piercing the hood is preferable to piercing the clitoris itself. The clitoris is very sensitive and piercing it can cause pain and nerve damage. • Outer or inner labia. The tissue of the labia is thick enough to accommodate more than one piece of jewelry or heavier jewelry. • Princess Albertina. The female counterpart to the Prince Albert piercing in males is rarely done. That’s because it’s very difficult to perform. The piercing goes through the urethra and the top of the vagina. Even if you’re brave enough to get a vaginal piercing, you may not have the right anatomy for it. Many women don’t have a clitoris large enough to accommodate a piercing. You also need to have enough skin in the inner and outer labia if you want to pierce in those areas.
