What is VCH piercing?

What is VCH piercing?

VCH is an acronym for Vertical Clitoral Hood. As the name implies, it is a piercing that runs vertically along the clitoral hood. A clitoral hood is a fold of skin that protects your clitoris, which is that tiny sensitive area at the top of your vulva, between your labia. The hood sits inside your labia for added protection.

Interestingly, the majority of the clitoris itself is found more on the inside than the outside of the female genitalia. It can stretch up to five inches inside you. This means the part you touch is just the tip. That tip or mound is called the glans and it is covered by the hood.

So, a VCH piercing is not done on the clit, but on the hood. The piercing will run vertically, hence the name, vertical. There is a horizontal one too.

How is the VCH piercing done?

First, do not get the piercing in a place that is less than sterile. The piercer should always wear gloves. They will first clean the area with an antiseptic and mark the location to be pierced with a body-safe marker.

Before, forceps or clamps were common tools for piercers. However, those are no longer in vogue as people prefer a receiving tube, a device that is placed beneath the skin of the clitoral hood. Then the piercer slides the needle through the skin and into the tube. Once a hole is made, the tube is removed and jewellery is inserted into the needle. Finally, the piercer removes the needle with the ring in place and cleans the piercing.

Note that there might be some bleeding, but it is nothing major. Wearing a good pant liner is important to prevent staining your underwear.

VCH piercing healing time

Healing time depends on the hood, but it is generally completely from four to eight weeks. Factors that affect the healing process include how much tissue you have, the shape of your clit and hood, and how diligent you are with your aftercare.

Speaking of aftercare, you have to be careful of what you do during recovery. Take note of the following dos and don’ts, according to Healthline:

  • Gently pat dry the clit area with a clean towel or paper towel.
  • Use barrier protection like a condom with a partner or sex toy.

Curved barbells are the most commonly used jewellery for VCH piercings because they are usually designed in the shape of your clit. This means the jewellery can rest comfortably, tucked away and protected from irritation while you go about your normal business. Other popular pieces of jewellery for VCH include straight barbells and beaded rings.
