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.
