Hello again, It’s Jamie and today I will be blogging about the vertical clitoral hood piercing (VCH). Many women are not familiar with their anatomy and get confused on the placement of this piercing. The Vertical Clitoral Hood does not go through the clitoris. The piercing is actually made through the hood tissue above the clitoris. This placement allows the jewelry to rest on the clitoris offering additional stimulation to the area. Because of the variations in anatomy not all women are suitable candidates for this piercing. Each piercee must be evaluated. You may be able to see if you’re a suitable candidate at home by performing what is known as the “Q-tip test”. As a general rule, if a lubricated q-tip fits under your hood, you can get this piercing. If the swap is too wide you can remove some of the fluff. This piercing needs depth more than width. Also check to make sure there is not a visible vein along the middle.
Genital piercings are special because they have potential to affect your sexual pleasure. A poorly placed piercing can result in the missed opportunity of stimulation or loss of sensation. Locate an experienced professional who has had training on this piercing and can speak with you openly. The right piercer will have a professional manner and should make you feel comfortable and safe. It’s okay to “interview” your piercer to make sure they are the one you will feel comfortable with. They should be knowledgeable and willing to discuss any questions or concerns you might have. Once you’ve found your piercer, be prepared to be examined. They may need to tug, pinch, and stretch the tissue to make sure there are no veins for accurate placement.
The jewelry for this piercing could be a straight or curved barbell, or a ring style. I prefer to use a 14 gauge 3/8 internally threaded surgical grade/implant grade stainless steel curved barbell and we offer these in all different gem colors. The jewelry is meant both to decorate as well as rub the clitoris. While most women enjoy this a great deal, some women find the constant stimulation a bit much to handle, while even others get used to the sensation. Naturally, this will vary from woman to woman.
Before you decide to get this piercing ask the piercer how they do it. If they use forceps, leave. Clamping with forceps endangers the clitoris and causes unnecessary pain. It can also cause improper placement. Standard procedure is to use a needle receiving tube (NRT) under the hood. It makes it easier to manipulate the tissue and be more accurate. A dot will be marked on the hood in the center of the NRT. Using a needle receiving tube also safely rests against the clitoris and receives the needle which protects the clitoris underneath. Even if your piercer guides you through your breathing expect a sharp pinch. This pinch may startle you causing a quick jump or movement. An experienced piercer will anticipate this. Try to keep your knees apart so jewelry can be inserted and you’ll be all done.
Just like any piercing or break in the skin, your new piercing may bleed off and on for a few days. This is normal you may need or want to wear a panty liner for a few days. Tighter underwear helps hold your jewelry in place and reduce discomfort and trauma. Cotton is more absorbent and permits better air circulation. Make sure your underwear has no holes, or loose threads that could snag on your jewelry. The VCH has a very quick healing time. Some women feel like it is healed in a week’s time. To be safe you should still care for it for a minimum of four weeks.
The healing time on this piercing can be four to six weeks. There is no need to twist or touch your jewelry, as this will only irritate your new piercing. It is very important to avoid snagging this piercing. You need to be aware at all times of things that could catch it such as; clothing, and towels. To clean your piercing you can either use H2Ocean or a saline soak. With the H2ocean spray both sides two to three times a day. You can make the saline soak at home by using a non-iodized sea salt mixture: Dissolve 1/4 teaspoon of non-iodized (iodine-free) sea salt into one cup (8 oz.) of warm distilled or bottled water, soak for five to ten minutes two to three times per day. Dry by gently patting with clean, disposable paper products. Cloth towels can harbor bacteria and snag on jewelry, causing injury. Some risks can be migration, rejection, scarring, and snagging accidents.
There is no set period for abstinence from sexual activities while your piercing is healing, however there are rules for aftercare. Be gentle. If your piercing is sore stop what you’re doing or go easy on it. I don’t recommend using something as harsh as a vibrator on the direct area while healing. Be clean. Protective barriers must be used during healing to prevent sharing bodily fluids. For any oral contact, use a dental dam to shield the piercing. Wash hands before near contact with the piercing and use condoms for intercourse. Most important, listen to your body, if it hurts don’t do it.
The vertical clitoral hood is a great way to not only accentuate your body it also offers stimulation. If you have any other questions or would like more detail on this piercing feel free to come into Blue Boutique and speak with any of our qualified piercers.
I am thinking about getting a vch. I have read many articals and done some research but there is one question I havent been able to find an answer to; What does it feel like to urinate after getting it done? It seems like it would hurt to use the batroom for awhile afer geting it done or block the pssage all together. And would it be harder to whipe after getting done? I want one to increase pleasure but all I can think about is having to pretty much pee on it and that is not very sexy!
Shelby that is a very good question. As for peeing on your piercing/new jewelry may not be sexy per-say. it is actually good for the piercing I assure you. do to when you pee it is sterile and cleaning the piercing every time you pee. I see your concern on things being blocked as well and again I assure you that that won’t happen.. As for wiping like any new piercing just have to be careful. When I do these piercings as well as any other piercing after the piercing is done I go over full detail on how to take care of your piercing as well as what to avoid, what to be careful of the whole nine yards. as well as give you a aftercare form that way if you forget anything I say you at least have something to go back to to help you out or you can come in call or email me for any questions or concerns. I do these piercings I would have to say average 3-4 times a week so I assure you that you are in good hands as well as being pierced with 100% sterile stuff as well as the best jewelry in the industry you only get the best coming to Blue Boutique..
I hope I answered any questions or concerns you may be having if there is anything else you would like to ask be free to do so.

Yep! Just got my vch today. Researched best place in my area and then got home and read this. My piercer has won many awards and been featured in top mags. He literally said everything that is being said by Blue Boutique. Amazing job and taught me ALOT. He explained everything about what they do where theyre at for like 45 min and then did my piercing in a few min. Its bleeding a bit and it kinda feels like i have a uti just having it for 4 hrs but does NOT hurt when i pee.
I got a vertical pericing 3 half weeks ago but it don’t feel any different then before I got it down there.. Wht do that mean?? Do I need to change my bar I have in??
Had my vch for 12 days now! It pinched like hell but was only for a hot second! I swear its healed or almost healed. It looks good no swelling and I always forget its even there! I didn’t realize I should be cleaning it 2 to 3 times a day I’ve only been doing it once a day. I may have not read my direction properly. (Oops)…anyway I was told to wait only at least a week before having sex but to use protection. Is that too soon? I haven’t so far but just wondering..also have you heard if sex the first time after will hurt?
everything I read prior to mine said two weeks. some people tried after a week and suceeded. My piercer said no sooner than two weeks. I did try at a week and was very sore. Not such a geat idea. Was overly sensitive. At two week mark, things went better than great and since then too. He also mentioned to not change jewelry for first three weeks
I have had mine for 8 weeks, as for the wiping, just be careful. does not block the peeing process
With a VCH piercing, urinating shouldn’t be a problem. If you feel urine on it while peeing, then it was pierced wrong. Your clitoris hood is way above your urethra opening, so don’t worry. Just be gentle when wiping (you should be wiping front to back, anyway!).
Shelby, i have had my piercing almost a month. Going to the bathroom does not hurt because the piercing is above your pee hole. Just be careful wiping. Hope this helps
Good advice Tara thanks for your input
I just got my VHP last night and becides the few seconds of pain during the actual process and a few minutes of throbbing, I don’t feel anything. I even had sex today. (Protected ). Is this normal?
Tammy I’m glad it didn’t hurt you much. As a profession I wouldn’t recommend having sex for a few weeks but that’s just me being a profession and telling you what I dont recommend you can do whatever you want. It’s your body. And as what your experiencing that can be normal everyone is different
Derek did my VCH piercing just under a week ago and it’s healing great! The site for this piercing is rough the hood above the clitoris, not through the urethra, so no chance of blockage. Peeing doesn’t hurt at all. If you drink plenty of water, the acid in your urine will be significantly reduced. I wouldn’t get pierced anywhere but the Blue Boutique. The piercers are very professional and well-trained in their field. Go for it!
*through the hood* not “rough the hood”
I got my VCH almost 1 week ago. How long should I be using the H2Ocean for?
First of all thanks Jen means a lot to hear that. Hope your piercing is going great. And to answer your question Denise I recommend using the H2Ocean spray 2 times a day once in the morning and before you go to bed until healing is done usually 6-8 weeks. Hope that answer your question. Anything else be free to ask away
-Derek
I’m wanting to get this piercing done very badly I am just worried about it being desensitized and do all your locations use the nrt to Pierce?
Liz Jamie is correct. I have never heard of the hood piercing desensitizing anything. If anything it’s going to make things better in most cases. Being pierced at blue boutique we use only the best jewelry in the industry. Have all color gems to choose from. And can also special order you anything you would want as well. Jamie pretty much answered your question. But like she said if you have other questions or concerns come in and talk to us or you can actually email me personally. Derekl@blueboutique.com
-Derek
Liz there should be no concern on losing sensation because the jewelry goes through the skin above the clitoral hood and the sensation comes from the jewelry resting on it. We all use the needle receiving tube it protects the clitoris from the needle and helps to line up a straight piercing. Let me know if you have any other questions or feel free to come in
What are some of the anatomical considerations for a VCH? What sort of anatomy doesn’t allow for one?
Sara. To answer the question is some females don’t have enough tissue for a vch there for we wouldn’t want to do a piercing that wouldn’t be conpatable to the anatomy. I hope that helped.
-Derek
I got my vch in February of this year, it healed great and I am very pleased with it. But I still have the jewelry that it was pierced with ( I clean it often) and I was wondering hot to change it myself without unnecessary tugging or pulling
Shay I’m glad to hear the piercing is healing great. To answer your question. If you want to change it out yourself the top ball twist off then take it out and put a new one in. If you need help you are more than welcome to come in and have someone to help you and show you how to do it yourself. I hope that helps if not please be free to respond back, call blue boutique, come into blue boutique, or email me personally at DerekL@blueboutique.com
Hi, so I have had my VHP for 9 weeks and I don’t think it has healed yet. It still hurts at the top where it was pierced and the bottom ball rubs causing some irritation. I use a salt water solution and spray bottle to clean it daily. Could
My piercing just be rejecting? I was also pierced with a straight bar, would a curved one cause less irritation?
Kassey I am sorry to hear about the problem you are having with your Piercing. and to answer your questions its hard to tell you what the problem is without looking at it but I would highly recommend getting a curved barbell I have better outcomes with that as in comfort and healing. Sorry I couldn’t be any more help be free to come in any day. and if you have any other questions you are more than welcome to ask on her call or come into the store or even email me personally at DerekL@blueboutique.com
-Derek
do it hurt alot and is it hard to walk after you just got it done?
Shay to answer your question the pain is not as bad as it may seem its a super quick pinch 98% of the time after the needle is in the person doesn’t even feel it anymore as for walking the first couple weeks its going to be a bit different but not to uncomfortable that you won’t be able to enjoy your day. I hope I help you with your questions be free to come in call or even right on here if you have any other questions. or you can email me personally at DerekL@blueboutique.com
I have had my VCH for three days now, it certainly pinched when I did it, but I had little or no pain at all afterwards. I didn’t even bleed when my piercer did it. However the past two days I have been bleeding and the swelling is still the same as it was from day one and hasn’t gone down at all. Its not hurting too much, more just uncomfortable. The bleeding is not a huge amount, but enough to Wreck my underwear. I’m wearing panty liners etc and I know every body is different but is the bleeding normal?
Hey there sorry for the late response. It’s really hard to answer your question without asking you a few things first. One where/who pierced you and sec what was the aftercare instructions that was given to you. If any. And 3 have you been taking any blood thinners. And you are right everyone is different. And bleeding could be normal for a couple days but not a huge amount to where it’s wrecking your undies as you say. Be free to come in and have me take a look if you need. But understand if not. I hope I hear back from you ad again sorry it took to long for me to get back to you.
-Derek.
I’ve had my vch for a little over 3 weeks and it’s still a little sore, like when I clean it, if I put a little pressure below the top ball it’s sore. Is this normal? It’s not red or swollen.
Hey danielle sorry to hear you are having discomfort may is sk did you get pierced. By us at blue boutique cause if not. There could be a few reason of discomfort. But it also could be normal everyone is different. And depends on your life style. But if you feel you need one of us to take a look to make sure everything is going alright be free to come in to get it checked up
-Derek
I am curious on how long it takes to heal up after it’s been taken out and if there is a lot of scar tissue?
Alex. It’s hard to answer your question do to everyone being different. It may never heal and it could heal in a few hours. As far as scar tissue. It’s such a thin piece of skin that there shouldn’t be much. But again everyone is different.
-Derek.
I have previously had a vertical hood pierced it would seem was in the wrong place and it migrated and fell out!! Had it redone elsewhere today and it looks to be in a much more suited place. Only thing being twice now I have had a heavy bleed from my piercing is this normal?? It isn’t sore not sure if maybe I twisted a little sharp and caused it to bleed again. Hasn’t bothered me rest of the day just a little scary that when it does bleed it bleeds heavy :-/
Kerrie that does sound scary. How long have you had the piercing for now. Cause I never heard of that happening. If anything I would guess that it for caught on something and tore a little. Be free to come in if you can to have someone take a look and see what’s going on. Sorry I couldn’t be any more of help. Of you have other questions be free to email me personal DerekL@blueboutique.com
-Derek
Hi. Thanks for your help but I think it’s panic over lol The bleeding has stopped and I am not experiencing any pain or discomfort. The piercing has been done 6 days now and the bar seem to be nice and loose in the piercing. Had this piercing done last year but it migrated so went to a different piercer this time who did it in a slightly different place so fingers crossed all stays well
good thing it healed faster. some take a while to heal.
I just got my VCH piercing last night. My piercer said something that concerned me a little…she said that I couldn’t have sex for at least 12 weeks. I’ve read from other sites that sexual activity can be continued after 2-4 weeks. I was wondering what your opinion was….
Thank you =)
Vickey where did you get pierced at. Me personally. Longer you wait better it is for the piercing. However I tell my customers I do genital piercing on wait at least a month before having sex and or oral sex. And even then you want to stay protected and be careful pretty much if it hurts don’t do it situation. If you have other questions be free to email me personally DerekL@blueboutique.com
-Derek.
Also listen to your body. If it hurts don’t do it.
Is there any way to know when a VCH has completely healed and if 1 is better than the other as far as whether to use saline solution or the sea salt and water mixture? I’ve only had mine for a week so I’ve got a ways to go yet but just wondered if there were things to look for that would let you know if it was /was not all the way healed.
Chrissy first let me ask who pierced you. Cause this person should have went over all that with you. But that’s what I’m here for as well as far as the hood piercing being fully healed. I honestly can’t answered that so to everyone is different. But most people are fully healed between 6-8 weeks. As far as the saline soak and spray. It doesn’t matter which one you use. I recommend the spray H2Ocean or wound wash saline. Cause all you have to so is spray or a couple times a day rather than soak it a couple times day. I hope I answered your questions. If you have any other questions. Or if you are local and have concerns be free to email me and or come in anytime. You are more than welcome to add me on Facebook as well to be updated with specials we have going on.

Hi, I’m really considering getting my VCH pierced, I’ve done my research and I have heard all good things about it…… I just had one question….. how long should I wait before I get waxed in my “lady partd” after getting my VCH?
Renee im happy to hear you have done your research. As for waxing. Just listen to your body. Natural the piercing is sore I would say when te soreness/tenderness is gone or month or so you can start waxing again. Like I have said in the past comments if it hurts don’t do it. Naturally waxing doesn’t feel good but if it is overly painful in the piercing area more that usual I would stop. As for emu oil for healing I usually tell people to use that on scaring or bumps and what not on the piercing. Your urine tends to clean the piercing through out the day. But I do also recommend using a sea salt spray or sea salt soak a couple times a day. Once in the morning. Once and night and maybe even mid day. I hope I answered your questions if not or you have others be free to email me personally at DerekL@blueboutique.com
-Derek
And also would you recommend using emu oil for its healing process?
I am getting the VCH tomorrow. I am a little nervous..I am wanting it done though..I just don’t want the guy to look at my stretch marks, cause they do make me feel a tad bit uncomfortable with myself. But, my question is, does it hurt alot and will the pain be unbearable?
Amanda I got the email before your question was posted on the site I hope you got my email and I was able to answer your questions about this piercings.
Hi Amanda. Did you get it done? I think I will be getting mine done next week! Scared
Angelina I won’t tell you to not be scared. Any piercing could be a scary thought. Best thing I can say is one do your research and go to someone that is skilled in these piercings in your area. Do to the store I work at I have the female cliental and do these type of piercings on a weekly bases. So do your research is key. And also it isn’t as bad as you may think a quick sharp pinch and its over with. If you have any other questions please email me personally. At DerekL@blueboutique.com
Hi I have had my piercing for 9mos and I was wondering if I take it out for awhile will it close, because I’m getting a little irritation?
Tia I wish I knew everybody’s body/anatomy to tell them what they want to hear but in all honesty I don’t everyone is so different. So if you take the piercing out I have no clue if it will close up. I have met people that has had piercings for years and take them out and within hours it closed and then I have met people that has had piercings for a few months and still be able to put jewelry in a few years later. So if you took out the piercing it may close but weirder things have happen it may not ever close it’s just a risk you may need to take or may not want to take.
Ok thanks!!
You are very welcome. Sorry I couldn’t help you any more than that.
Heya, iv had my. Vch piercing for over 8 months now but notice that in the piercing has a horrible smell. Iv mistakenly cleaned my piercing with many shower gels n soaps. Is ït possible to get rid of the smell?
A smell could mean infection which piercers are not qualified to diagnose. I recommend seeing a doctor.
Kyla I am sorry to hear about what is going on.. Jamie is very correct on what she said. However I would like to ask a couple questions to limit a couple other factors before you make a doctor visit. Is there any discomfort with the piercing and or discharge coming from the piercing itself if so that is a huge red flag for a infection and I would suggest seeing your local doctor ASAP. If not my other thought is there may be a chance that you may have gotten pierced with a lower quality jewelry that isn’t suitable for the piercing that may be causing the smell. If you gotten the piercing from us at Blue Boutique regardless if it was the Sugar House location or the West Valley location I can assure you that you have been pierced with one of the best pieces of jewelry in the industry from a company called Industrial Strength (www.isbodyjewelry.com) If you didn’t then I would say come in to one of our locations and have a consultation which would be free of charge to look at your jewelry and possibly change it for you and see if that works. if you are not local then you can email me with your locations and I would be more than happy to locate a local high end studio in your area that carries the same jewelry we do. (DerekL @blueboutique.com) if you have gotten pierced by us or if you changed it to a higher end jewelry after you get this and the smell still occurs I would highly suggest seeing a doctor. I hope this information has helped and we are able to fix the situation. be free to always add a comment on here and or email me with any other questions.
-Derek
Hi i was wondering if you guys can give locations for a piercer for the vch piercing by location that you guys would know they do it correct and are very experienced, and that do not use the clamp?
Aubrhette, If you are local to Utah I woudl say come see us here at Blue Boutique. If you are not comment back on here and or Email me with your location and I would be more than happy to fine the best piercer in your area
DerekL@blueboutique.com
So I’ve had my vch for almost 8weeks now and it’s really sore what can I take or do to reduce the soreness
Kyarroah I’m sorry to hear that. Everyone reacts to piercings differently. But that is unusually for it still being hurt after that long. If you don’t mind me asking are you local to utah and may I ask where did you get pierced. Cause my thought is a low quality jewelry is effecting the healing. If its high quality jewelry my other thought is maybe lifestyle but I can’t be so sure. And as for taking something to help. I’m not a doctor so I can’t actually legal tell you to take something for the piercing. Only a doctor can even if it is over the counter. Sorry I couldn’t be more of help. You are more than welcome to email me with any other questions
DerekL@blueboutique.com
Hi im looking to get my hood pierced but worried i do not have enough skin to pierce? will the person piercing me check? i dont know whether my home check is helped! also if it isnt suitable are there any other piercings simular but not through the clit itself? thanks
Chelsea I’m glad you been doing your reshearch and want to get this piercing done. Me personally no matter what others have said I always check. I rarely run in a cause where I can’t pierce. But there is the people that just can’t. So I would check for sure. If you are not local to utah if you want to email me and or write back on here where you are located at. I would be more than happy to directed you to a shop that is the best in your area. With the highest quality jewelry
DerekL@blueboutique.com
Chelsea I realized I didn’t answer one of your questions. If a vertical hood piercing is not suitable for you there is also the horizontal hood that you could do.
i I am 18 & I was thinking of getting my VCH but I have a 2 yr old & was wondering if I should wait tip he is older 2 get it done & does it matter if ur a curvier woman on getting this piercing?
Becka I feel I have gotten a personal email from you cause the same question you are asking has been mentioned. If that wasn’t you let me know. But if so I hope my information as helped you.
I’ve been thinking about getting this done for a while. I have 18 piercings in total, and most of them I have had done by the same person. He is really good and explains everything and is always there if I have any questions. I’ve asked a little about it and have gotten the same information as presented here, though he also informed me that after using the restroom it is proffered that you rinse with water instead of wiping. I am considering also Getting a horizontal piercing under the bundle of fibers to my clitoris. My only concern is loss of feeling for either of these piercings and if one would get in the way of another. I’ve seen girls with both before though. Any suggestions?
Hey Amanda. as for your questions and concerns let me first start with the concern of loosing feeling. with these piercings it tends to make the feeling better. so no worries there. as for them being together well that may be a little to much but at the same time its all about what you think. if you are happy with it then thats all that matters I have met girls with close to 25 piercings in the downstairs area and girls that are happy with just one so thats all up to you. as for going to the bathroom you should be very careful not to get anything snag on the piercing that is underwear clothing toiletpaper anything just be careful I hope I was able to answer your questions if you have more please wright on here or email me personally at DerekL@blueboutique.com
Hi …I just wanted to leave a comment for anyone worried about getting a VHP.
I researched how it should be done on your site then checked with my piercer that he followed your guidelines…he did so I went ahead yesterday. Yes it pinched when it was done but since the bar has been inserted there is NO pain whatsoever,NO bleeding,swelling or reaction of any kind. In fact I would not know it was there. I had my Nipple pierced by the same guy 2 weeks previously and apart from 2 drops of blood after piercing and a very slight soreness for a week I got the same result. I just hope that seeing a positive feedback will put some peoples minds at rest.
I just wanted to say thanks real quick Fred Kay. I am glad the info that you gotten from this blog has helped you. And I/we all appreciate in input. As for me I’m a guy. I just do the piercing. And go by what my customers say. Something I been doing professionally sense 2007 and I do these piercing on a regular bases. Soo it’s nice to get feed back from a female about the piercings for sure. So again THANKS!
I recently got a VCH piercing at Blue Boutique by Derek and couldn’t be happier with it! First of all, he made me feel extremely comfortable. He even made my husband who came along feel comfortable doing it! It was the quickest piercing I have had out of 11 and never ever hurt again after the needle was through. It never got swollen. He even checked in with me to see how my piercing was healing and is always quick to respond with any questions I have! I would highly recommend this piercing for anyone who is curious and getting it done here by Derek.
Aww grace thanks for the kind words I am so happy I was able to make everyone feel at ease as well as you have had no problems and loving your piercing. Hope to see you with future piercings.
Never in a million years did I ever think I would get a VCH piercing. Never really crossed my mind. I’ve had many piercings, and one day I was just like why the heck not. After talking with Derek for a bit I decided to go ahead and do it. I was a little nervous, but my piercer made me feel super comfortable. I literally thought it was going to hurt like crazy or something crazy would happen like kicking the piercer in the head. Honestly, to my surprise, it didn’t hurt at all! I would recommend Derek Leavell for any piercing and I’m definitely going back. The staff is super friendly and it’s an overall awesome atmosphere! Thanks Derek!
Ashley I’m glad to hear that you are happy with your piercing. Thanks for they kind words and I hope to see you soon for future piercings or just to say hi. Remember I am always here for questions.
Your piercer

I’ve been considering getting a vch piercing. I am a heavy set girl, so I wonder about how the piercing will heal being that bigger woman are more “meaty” down there. Lol.. Any helpful comment are appreciated.
Steph I have pierced more heavier set girls than skinny minis. So to answer you question if your anatomy is correct for it you are for sure able to get the piercing and heal it just the same as long as you get pierced correctly with good jewelry ad take care of the piercing correctly. Unfortunately there is lots of piercers out there that have no morals and won’t pierce heavy girls do to them being heavy and that way of business is wrong. If its someone that cares about what they do and treat all piercings/piercees the same then you are in good hands. If you are local come see me. If not let me know and I will guid you to the closes shop with all around greatness.
Hi i just got my VCH today a few hours ago what should i do daily to make sure it doesnt get infected and heal properly and the after care spray how should i use it. should i wash it off or leave it please comment or email!!
Nay Stone, if you would like to send me a email I can send you a nice aftercare sheet to explain all (derekL@blueboutique.com) but a quick run down is that you should get a H2Ocean spray or a wound wash spray and spray it just a couple times a day once in the morning and once at night through out the day your urine should be cleaning it. I say take care of yourself as you usually would as far as showering but try not to get soap on the piercing. if you get a little thats fine have the water rinse it off but dont scrub it with soap don’t play with the jewelry or anything just leave it be. thats the best I can do as of now I hope that answeres your questions and I hope you like your piercing
I’ve heard that this piercing gives you constant pleasure! I want it so bad but if this is the case then i wont get it. Help!
Kay everyone has a different anatomy, as well as handle piercings differently as well has different sensation down there. Yes I do have customers tell me it feels good even when they walk but I also have others that its just another piercing. So I wish I could tell you what you want to hear but I can’t you will not know how your body will react to the piercing unless you get it to be honest. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help. if you need help finding a piercer that is reputable in your area please contact me via email (DerekL@blueboutique.com)
Kay. Everyone is different but the chances of it giving you constant pleasure in my experience isn’t very likely. If anything it just increases pleasure. If you did get it and decide it wasn’t for you, you could always take it out
I have been doing a lot of reading & researching the VCH. I really want to get this done. I live in Wisconsin & was wondering if you could give me the name of some places that are reputable & will do this the right way. I really wish I was closer to one of your places, I would come in by you to get it done. Thank you.

Hi ive had my VCH done 3 days ago theres no pain or bleeding bt it is quite swollen still but i just wanted to know if its normal to have the bottom ball not showing and will it start to show wen the swelling starts to go down?
Sabrina swelling is normal for the first few days just like any piercings. But if you are local to utah salt lake area I would say come in I would be more than happy to take a look at it to make sure everything is going good as for the bottom gem showing everyone’s anatomy is different. Some have more tissue than others. But it could also be pierced up to high. If you want you can leave a comment on here or email me personally with any other question you may have.

Hi Derek Leavell. I’m Latina, English is not my best language but I try
….ok, like somebody else said “never in a million years tought to get a VCH, I’ve been reading and researching about it and considering to get a VCH. but I’m scare of the pain and to go to the wrong place, does it hurt a lot? You sound very professional but you are far away from where I live. I wish I could go to your place. Can you recommend me and expert in Indianapolis, INDIANA Please!! and Thanks!
Mile you are in luck. There is someone I look up that is amazing at what he does his name is Alan he works at lucky rabbit tattoos and body piercings. As for the fear and pain of getting this I will not tell you not to be scared cause its a scary thought. And I won’t tell you it doesn’t hurt cause everyone deals with pain differently. However I will assure you that it’s not as bad as you may think it is. Go see Alan. Tell him I sent you. He will check your anatomy make sure you can get it and go into detail about everything. Best of luck and let me know how your expierence is.
Hi I am very interrested in getting a VCH piercing done….would you recommend someone in the Chicago land area to do it for me?
Oh and Chux Time (Oscar Martinez) I personally took some classes with him:)
Jamie has mention some amazing people that’s for sure. It all depends on where you live. I don’t want to make you travel to far. So it is nice to have your city as well. But if you are around oak forest area the place that Jamie mention is amazing and even make their own fancy jewelry. But there is another shop called “native rituals” in that area as well as for Chux Time he is located in “elgin, illinois” are at a shop called topnotch tattoos and piercings. I hope this all helped you.
Also if you need help finding addresses numbers websites for any of these people that are mentioned don’t be afraid to let us know on here or email me personally (DerekL@blueboutique.com)
Scylla Jewelry and Insight Studios are both great shops in your area. Scylla’s located in Wicker Park/Bucktown, they’re further south in Oak Forest. I believe you can find both shops on Facebook.
I’ve had my piercing for about 8 years and have never taken it out. I now have to have an MRI and have to take it out. Any idea how fast they close up?
Chelle. I couldn’t give you a for sure answer on that cause everyone is different. I have seen people have piercings for years close up in matters of hours and then I have seen people with piercings for months take it out and out things in years later. That piercings is such a thin piece if skin and having it for so long I wouldn’t think you would have any problems but stranger things have happened so i don’t want to give you false info and say it won’t close up. I would say if you are worried about it get wait they call a retainer. And switch with that for the time being. We personally sale glass ones but some other shops have plastic ones and stuff. Hope this helped.
LOVE it, love having “my little secret” and wish I’d done it sooner! I got my VCH 3 weeks ago and I’m pretty sure that it is healed. I had no bleeding and just a little bit of swelling for about a week. I cleaned it with medical grade sodium chloride in the morning after my shower, urine during the day when I peed and just warm water in the evening when I showered for bed. I resumed sexual activity within a few hours but was careful as my piercer said to take it easy and be safe. My piercer, in Kansas City Missouri, has 13 years of experience and is EXCELLENT-top rated for this area and very professional; going to have my nipples done for Valentine’s Day! I had my tongue pierced 3 times which hurt quite a bit more than my VCH. For anyone thinking about getting a VCH, you can take it out later if you change your mind. Here’s a hint: I’m a nurse so I teach my patients to use deep breathing for iv’s, injections and pretty much anything uncomfortable. I told my piercer to have me take 2 slow, deep breaths then to insert the needle at the start of the 3rd breath;’ worked great. Concentrate on taking a deep breath and you will only feel a pinch.
Mom2aprincess&prince. I am glad you love your piercing. Be careful with doing to much to soon but you are a nurse you should know this already. And remember we are always here for questions.
Got my VCH done yesterday and well as grim as it sounds, had a play last night and it didnt hurt at all, healing has started but now its starting to sting, did anyone else have this problem?
Jazz -
Jasmine. Stinging swelling stuff like that can be normal for a couple days after so to it being a new piercing and maybe I am reading your comment wrong but when you say “played” I assume you did some naughty stuff that maybe shouldn’t have happened yet and that could be another reason for the stinging. And if I did read that wrong I’m sorry.
Derek I wanted to know if after getting your vch pierced you receive your period a few days after will it cause an infection?
Nina as long as you are clean about it I don’t see any problems I have actually piercings girls on their periods and had not problems.
i so want this piercing..but i dont think any shops in northern california will do them. i am diabetic as well, is a piercing like this a good idea?
Tara there are actually a lot of amazing shops in northern california area. as for your being Diabetic. I would talk to your doctor as well as of the piercer you choose to do your piercing and see what they may say.. I would be more than happy to find you an amazing shop in your area if you would like. you can either comment back on here or email me personally at (DerekL@blueboutique.com) with the info where abouts you are. and I will find the closes one to you..best of luck to you on your adventure of possibly getting a new piercing and Happy New Years.
-Derek
Hi, i was wondering if you can use skin numbing cream so that way the piercing wont hurt and if it would work, i dont have any percings but im really interested on getting the vch piercing im just scared is going to hurt.
Alexa. You can try it if you would like. But it will be cleaned off before the piercing. As well as not needed. As I have said before in here it’s a scary thought. As I won’t tell you not to be scared. As well as I will not say it won’t hurt sense everyone has different pain tolerance. I can assure you that it’s not nearly as bad as you may think it is. A quick pinch and that’s about it. About 95% of these piercings JFK te girl doesn’t even feel it anymore and go on normal activities. If you are local please come see us. If not let me know ill find someone for your. Best if luck in your adventures if a possible new piercings.
-Derek.
Thanks, i live in the upper east side of Manhattan,nyc.. ..
Alexa there is this lovely guy name Brian Decker in your area that works for a shop called scared body arts. If you are not able to locate it email me and I will give you all his info DerekL@blueboutique.com
Ok thanks
Sorry Alexa I spelt that wrong it’s “sacred tattoos” and his name is Brian Decker
Ohh ok no wonder i couldn’t find it. thanks.
Yeah sorry about that Alexa. Hope you can find it now if not let me know. Best of luck to you and your future piercing. Let us all know your expierence that is if you want to share completely understand if you don’t.
I’ve had my VCH for about 8 months and have come across an issue I’m not finding much info on… I started to feel pain when i moved certain ways and upon further inspection, I’ve discovered my piercing has stretched leaving only a very thin strip of tissue to hold in the ring. Is there anything I can do to undo it or ahould i remove it before I end up with a ripped clit hood?
Lovelymisss I hate to be bare of bad news but you may have to take it out see if it heals up and possibly redue it higher up if possible. Cause if you but a thinner jewelry you may end up having a hire cheese cutter effect. And if you out in a thicker piece of jewelry it may be to much weight and keep stretching. Ill ask around and see what we can do for you but from what I have seen with other piercings in this situation best thing to do is take it out. Sorry I couldn’t be better help.
I recently got my VCH pierced by Derek and I would recommend him for anybody wanting this piercing. My fiancé came with me and we were both a little nervous about the whole thing, but Derek was a complete professional and made both of us feel 100% comfortable with what was going on. There was no awkwardness about it. Thank you soooo much!
Aww Courtney thanks for the kind words. I am really Happy to hear that I was able to make the both of you comfortable. I hope you as well as your man both love the piercing. And remember I am always here for you if you want anything else done and or questions.
-Derek.
Got mine done today hurt for a few seconds. Can’t see the bottom ball though.
Ilaquanda I’m glad it didn’t hurt all that bad and depending on the anatomy it may be common to not see the bottom ball to much. So don’t be alarm.
After struggling with the idea of a VHP for three months, i finaly had it done 3 days ago. Reading all the comments here has prety much answered all my questions i had regarding the after care.. I never have seen blood, it hasnt seemed to swell to much either.. Oh ya and cant forget the few snags or wrong moves the first couple hours.. Just one question, where can i find the jewelry? Is the bar similar to a tongue ring bar?
Jenn I’m glad things have been good so far. And to answer your question about the jewelry everyone pierces differently. I have seen some people use a straight bar bell kinda like a tongue yes. Me personally and most people I know however would use a curved barbell kinda like what you would put in your belly. And where to get the jewelry I would just recommend goin to your local piercer that carries high end jewelry.
Hi!!!! I got my VCH pierced 6day ago. I clean it twice a day as I was told to do. My issue is that I received a slight itchy sensation by the top ball…. Is this a normal part of healing????
Hi!!!!! I got my VCH pierced 6days ago!!! I clean it twice a day as I was told, it seems as if its healed already but I received a slight itchy sensation by top ball!! My question is this a normal part of healing????
Kayk to answer your question the best I can is the itchiness can be normal sense it is still new and healing. So don’t be alarm on that. It should go away soon. But you could also try another aftercare and see if that helps. Be free to email me with any questions DerekL@blueboutique.com
Hi there I’m planning on getting this piercing done soon, but I’m allergic to most metals, I got two in each nipple and they got infected and are now plastic, while piercing would switching to plastic right from the start prevent any healing issues or cause more problems? I’m doing a much research but so you know of anyone in edmonton, Albert? Hope that’s not too ridiculous
Benita have you tried titanium or even gold. Cause as a professional I don’t recommend using plastic do to you can sterilize plastic and eventually plastic breaks down and become of pores
I took my VCH out for 2 months and put it back in with no problem. However now it’s sore and bleeding a little. Should I treat it like i did during the healing process?
Ash I would say yes treat it like a new piercing. If it doesn’t help let us know.
I got my VCH about a little over a month ago and It’s been healing wonderfully. I was just wondering what is the proper amount of waiting time before changing the actually jewelry? Also I’m a little afraid of something going wrong when I try to change it,should I go back to the person who did my piercing and let them do it?
Kierra unless the jewelry is to long to short or bringing discomfort I wouldn’t recommend changing the jewelry for a few months. That’s me though. As for changing it yourself it could be scary to do yourself I highly in courage to try that way you don’t have to rely on a piercer everytime. However if you feel comfortable with your piercer and if he/she cares about what they do they will not mind changing it at all.
I have really been wanting to get a vch but there are sooo many horror stories about them. Yes I know its that risk that if its not done right you loose all sensation. But I heard also that after years of having one you start loosing sensation. Is that true? They also say that after having it done years later that its harder to enjoy sex without it. Before I get it done I need to know is that true? I really just need to know the long term effects of having it done if any.
Christina you have normal fears as most. But what your fearing is usually the risk of piercing the clit and not the hood tissue. However as I always say everyone reacts different to piercings. Of all the hoods I have pierced sense 2006 I have never had a customer say they lost sensations. I have had some say it didn’t so anything to improve anything however. You got your 3 people. Ones that are to sensitive ones that it’s perfect and ones that it doesn’t do anything except make that part of the body prettier. If it is pierced the right way with high end jewelry shouldn’t have any problems. But like I said everyone reacts differently to piercings that I also don’t want to promise anything. Sorry I couldn’t be more of help but be free to asks anything you want either in here or email me personally at DerekL@blueboutique.com
IHey to everyone that reads this, I got my VHC 3 days ago and needless to say, it was almost completely painless. Everything that you have read on here is completely true. I went with my younger sister to hold her hand, and on a whim, after watching her get hers done, I said screw it. So after 8 long years of contemplating doing it, I did it. And best impulsive thing I have ever done. Its looks hot, feels hot, and makes me excited to try it out. That ‘jump’ they are talking about is true. Honestly, stubbing your pinky toe, hurts more than getting your hood pierced. Make sure you trust you piercer and that he is knowledgeable and DO NOT be afraid to ask any questions, personally, sexual, or for after care methods, better to know than not. If you are thinking about getting it, do it. You won’t regret it.
Kaela thanks for sharing your experience on the piercing. I’m glad it wasn’t nearly as bad as you thought it was. Be free to always ask questions if need to be abou this piercing and or others. But if you like and trust your piercer which I assume you do be free to go to him/her as well. Best of luck to you and the new piercing.
I got my vch 4 days ago … and i have no pain or swelling already getting the sexual part of it lol. Is that normal lol
Also is there vch jewlery or do i just ask what i can use
Annie everyone reacts different to piercing so why you are experiencing could be normal for you. And reall not for someone else. As for jewels tend to use curved barbells but it’s not uncommon to see a piercer use a straight barbell. I hope I was able to answer you question.
I’m considering getting my VCH done, but I wanted to know that if I get it done will my clitoris be constantly stimulated? I’ve heard about some women who get it and that it can just be too much. I don’t want to be walking around and having my piercing constantly rubbing against my clitoris. Is there any way to avoid that?
Kayla this is true some people it’s to much some it’s just righ others it’s just another piercing. You never know until you get the piercing. And as far as avoiding it that something to talk to your local reputable piercer about. Seeing if your anatomy is correct for maybe a different jewelry or something. Or maybe try a horizontal hood piercing. Rather than a vertical. Sorry I couldn’t be any more of help to you. But I you choose to get the piercing and want to share your experienced please do so b
I was wondering do you know of any good piercers in Nashville, TN. I got mines done years ago in Hawaii, but had to take it out because of a hospital stay. Can you recommend anyone in TN
Danakai I’m not sure about thy area. I can look but there is a shop in Knoxville TN call “Born This Way Tattoo & Piercings” that does amazing work if you are not far from them I would highly recommend going there. Sorry I couldn’t be more of help.
I got my vch piercing done last Monday. It feels like a pinch still a lil sore but doesn’t hurt too much. I don’t even feel it really. I went body art ink tattoo & piercing emporium. The piercer who did mine has done my nipples an Bellybutton.
Hi in looking to get a VCH and was wondering how sore it would be and how much it would cost?
Cheryl to answer your questions as in pain/ being sore afterwords everyone is different but soreness I usually a coupe days. As for the price if you go to someone that is reputable with high end jewelry and know what they are doing e prepare to pay 100 plus I hope I was able to help you with your questions.
I got the vch two weeks ago and last night had rough sex with my husband and he went down on me hard it did not hurt but today where it is pierced is purple is there something wrong and will the purple color go away? Should i be worried
Neva what you are expierence can be normal. Do to what you just explained. The piercing is still new still healing. And having some rough sex and what not can irritated it. Just keep an eye on it and if it gets worse see you piercer to see if anything is wrong or you can see your doctor. But from what you are saying I think it’s just do to the fun you had and you have nothing to worries about.
Do you have any information on anyone in the Altoona, PA area who is qualified to do this??
Jen I actually do know some people no far from that area. If you would like to email me I will be more than happy to give you the info my email is derekl@blueboutique.com
I’ve had my VCH since Valentines day 2013. I haven’t really had any problems other than a little whitish gooey discharge since the second day it was pierced and also sometimes when i touch it, it feels like someone is pinching it really hard with their fingernails. And its been causing me to have an odor. Like a sweaty, sour smell. I don’t have salt or that h2o junk an can’t afford it. So i jus clean it once a day when takin a bath. I don’t have a shower. Is it infected? Or should I gage it? Or should I just take it out?
Cheche I would say go to your piercer and or local doctor to see if it is infected or not. Technically a piercer can not make the call of it being infected only a doctor can but usually a reputable piercer would be able to give you advise as in taking care of it and or if you should see your doctor. If you don’t have a shower then do your normal wash but don’t samurge the piercing under the water. A for the odor. That may be normal person to person. Do to it is healing. But it could be making the older do to low quality jewelry. Be free to email me with your info as in where you are located as where you got it pierced. Maybe I can help you find a high end studio in your area. I hope I was able to help a little.
Derek performed my VHC piercing a couple months ago. I had researched piercers before selecting And Derek was highly rated. He lived up to my expectations… Professional, friendly, knowledgeable… LOVE my piercing;) headed back for more!!! Thanks, Derek!!
Whoops, typo.. VCH…
Lori C thanks so much for the kind words. I am excited you was happy with your experience and hope to see you in the future for other piercings.
I have been thinking for awhile to get vch just been scared and not knowing what its all about. I have some tats n piercing and my boyfriend is all for it.. I just need a place that knows what there doing inArkansas.
Misty I am sure I may know a place in Arkansas there isn’t many shops that are to reputable. So there may be a drive for you. Email me with where your at to better help you derekl@blueboutique.com
Hi I was thinking about getting the vch done but I was having a few questions about it we’ll first what is the best underwear to wear to make sure it won’t get hurt and clothing what would be best to wear?
Kelsey these are good question and never really been asked before. I tell my customers to stay away from lacy underwear for a bit and even after you have the piercing for awhile still be carefull taking them off. As for when you get the piercing. I would say have more loose fitting clothing would be better that way your not having something so right up against a new piercing and cause discomfort but at the same time I have had customers have tight fiting clothing come in and get this piercing and put their clothing on after wards and be perfectly fine. So really it’s whatever you feel comfortable with. But I would suggest maybe looser fitting clothing sense you asked.
Hey. I’ve been thinking of getting this piercing since 16. I’m going on 19 now and I wanted to know if this piercing would stop my clitoris from “popping” up when I’m receiving Oral sex and the guy is spreading my vaginas lips open? & also, are you guys located anywhere in NewYork manhattan?
This piercing will not cause any issues like that JoselinB. If anything should make things better. For most that is. I just say be carefull for the first little but. As for us being in that area. We are not but there is this love guy and girl at this shop called Pure body arts in that area. his name is Brian decker and her name is star. They are well known in the industry.
Hello, I recently snagged my vch in the shower. it was a little sore but didnt bleed. it’s a week later and i noticed its stretched. when i pull it to the top i can see the bottom ball through the top hole. im pretty sure if i keep pulling it will come straight out. please help
Monique I’m sorry to hear what happen and is happening. Some people anatomy is different an at times cause how thin this tissue is can naturally stretch on it’s own unfortunately. Last thing you/we want is for it to come all the way out. My suggestion which I know I kinda sucks sense you just got it is take it out and see if it can close up a little the out the jewelry back in. Any other questions you can email personally DerekL@blueboutique.com
Hi! Ive been thinking about getting a VCH piercing and I was wondering if you could recommend anyone in the Baltimore, Maryland area?? thanks so much!
Bianca I do have a recommendation for his name is Dan Steinbacher he works at a shop called pinz and needlez tattoo studio. Amazing person/piercer couldn’t ask for anyone better in your area. If you need help finding the address to the shop let me know you can email me personally at DerekL@blueboutique.com
I had my vhp done on Friday, I’ve been very careful, but it came out Saturday night. How long will i have to wait before I can have it redone?
I recently got my vhp done and it cans out after one day. How long would I have to wait to get it redone?
Jamila having it done so soon and having it fall out soo soon there might be that chance your piercer can get the jewelry back in without piercing it. However. It can and could close up real quick as well in this case I would actually wait for about a month or so before repiercing it. Sorry that this happen to you. I hope the best for you and your piercing.
Thanks Derek ! But after i sent that e mall i was able to get it back in with the help of a mirror and a flash light!! Lol
Jamila. I am happy to hear that. It can for sure be a tricky piercing to put back in yourself. So I applaud you for being able to. Anything else happens know we are here for you.
I just got my VCH done last night. Awesome experience two lil pinches and that was it no pain since. Can’t really feel it’s even there….If any on is in Orlando and is looking to get it done I recommend “SCRATCH THE SURFACE” Tattoo shop on the corner of Kirkman and International. Great ppl and they make you feel real comfortable!
Talia thanks for sharing your experience as well as the reference of the place you got the piercing.
