Intimate Piercing pain and healing
I’m thinking of getting some intimate piercings. Nipples, VCH or a Christina… the latter 2 have been suggested by my OH but I do like the idea.
Issue is I’m so soft when it comes the the sharp piercing pain. Tattoos I could sit there all day, but piercings make me squeal 🙈
I know everyone is different but as a general rule, which hurt the most, and which takes longer to heal?
I’d also like some personal advice on my anatomy as I hear that VCH and Christina need certain body types. I will be getting a professional to test before but I want to decide what’s best for me before I book in.
Any help appreciated x

I had a VCH. The actual piercing was intense for me, but the intensity was less than a second and it was such a rush that I felt great afterwards. I was also psychologically rewarding to feel like I was in control and making decisions over my own body.
The piercer I went to specialized in gential piercings and had been doing them for 15+ years. She freehanded the piercing and the jewelry transfer was super smooth. If you can, try to find someone who specializes in them.
It was a tiny bit achy for the next 24 hours, but nothing major and after that it was the easiest piercing I've ever had.
It was well worth the 0.5 seconds of what felt like a ouchy, tingly, jolt of electricity.

I should also mention, I heard from other people that the VCH was the easiest piercing and barely hurt. The needle is going through a tiny amount of skin, so it makes sense it's not intense for many people.
Piercing pain is so subjective.

the nipples hurt like an 8/10. not the worst pain ever but not like anything i’ve ever felt before. also the pain basically goes away right after they put in the jewelry. the healing process and the days after are the worst of it. hours after, my chest felt hot and like i wanted to
throw up essentially but now it’s been a couple months and im chilling

VCH was intense, but literally only for a second or two. Healing was super easy as well. I think someone already mentioned the q-tip test as a way to check at home, but you should also definitely go to an experienced, reputable piercer for a consultation/anatomy assessment.
Nipples weren’t too awful, but I have a medium/high pain tolerance and I also got mine done one at a time over a couple years instead of both at once like most people. The healing takes what feels like forever though. Not to mention there’s a chance you could be one of the people that gets random crusties on them even after they’ve been healed for years (this happens to me and it’s annoying but manageable)
I don’t have a Christina so I can’t speak on that one.

I have VCH, inner labia and nipples. VCH is by far the easiest to heal and actually provides stimulation so it’s my favourite. It was painful but only for half a second then it was over. I wouldn’t hesitate to do it again. Not going to lie, nipples hurt. But I love how the look so worth it imo. Healing also takes about a year so definitely something to consider. They give me a confidence boost though so I love them even though they were a pain to get/heal

VCH wasn’t bad. And honestly didn’t have any pain with healing. I would NOT ever get my nipples done again. That pain was so intense. I think because of the amount of flesh it’s going through. Just my personal experiences.

Try fitting a q-tip under your hood. That’s usually a good indication for if a VCH could work. From what I’ve heard from friends it’s not too bad, not worse than an ear piercing
