I have always thought a genital piercing would be cool, but I never thought I'd actually step it up and get one. ENTER BME! Now I somehow stumbled upon this wonderful site one day when I was looking for info on a tongue piercing and I fell in love with it. What a place! Here's my tale.

I started thinking more and more about the whole inner labia piercing cause I knew I wasn't going to be able to pierce my clit and I wasn't really interested in the whole outer labia idea so I thought this was just the one for me. DIY was the only way to go cause I don't have anyone to take me to get a piercing that would approve of it and so I started my research on how to approach this process. I read about how a lot of people had done it themselves and nothing had gone terribly wrong so I decided (ignoring the warnings) to go along and do it. Many of the experiences that I read were done in their rooms, with a needle they ordered from BME and new, sterile jewelry. ALL IMPORTANT. Don't be like me. Wait till you can get the right needles and jewelry. I was stupid and wanted it done asap and ordering a needle was out of the question for me, cause I don't have a credit card and my parents would never let me buy piercing needles.

Now the night of my first inner labia piercing is here. I'm sitting on the side of my bathtub in my squeaky clean bathroom I have a towel folded up under me, cause I heard a lot of girls have bled when they were pierced and as you may be able to imagine, I'm nervous as one could be. Since I couldn't get my hands on a piercing needle I decided to stick with the good ol' safety pin. Bad idea. Please follow my advice and don't do this. My reason will come later. So I'm ready. Everything's "clean" and prepared (I use the ""'s because unless it's been in an autoclave and comes to you in a nice, fresh, sealed package, it's not clean enough, I did do my best though) and I'm ready as I was gonna be. I tried once. NO WAY. I thought I knew pain...pchh.

I was determined to have this done so I threw a towel around myself and went and got a couple ice cubes. Now these worked pretty well. Sure you can still feel A LOT of it but it was nothing compared to the pain I felt with no number. So I put the pin to the area and push it through. Okay I'm not going to lie, it hurt. But I've pierced my own ears four times and I can honestly say I was expecting worse. I closed the pin, put some antiseptic wash on it and put my shorts back on (with a pad, once again, expecting blood.) WHAT A FEELING!!! I was supposed to be finishing my homework but I ended up not doing it all cause I had to keep stopping to look at that cute lil' thing in my pants.

I wake up the next morning and I'm expecting major pain, but there's nothing. As the day went on, in school (I also recommend that if you're going to do this you should definitely do it when you have at least two days to lie around and not do anything) there was some soreness but nothing I couldn't handle. I was very pleased.

Up till then I still had the safety pin in. I had a CBR to put in there but I wanted to wait till it healed a bit. So one night I was over at my friends house and we were getting ready to go out, I took a shower over there and when I was done I decided it was a good time to get that safety pin out of there and put in some cute jewelry. So I take out the pin. After trying for about 10 minutes I lost the hole. I was so sad. I wasn't even in the mood to go out anymore, what a disappointment. My friend didn't understand what had changed my mood so much cause I didn't tell anyone about it because my friends aren't 'down with' that stuff, in the genital area anyways, so I sucked it up and decided I'd just do it again the next day.

Then next day comes. Here I am, back in the bathroom, with all my tools, ready to go. I numb the area for about three minutes and I push it through. I did it on my left side again but forward a little, which I wanted anyway. I'd say this time around hurt more, but I was expecting it to cause of how close it was to my first hole. I think I might have hit some scar tissue. OUCH.

Now up until about a week ago, I was good. No pain, recovered quickly, all was good in my world but a little bit ago I was sort of fooling around with a friend and somehow during that time something went a bit wrong. (yes, I still had the pin in, I was waiting for my CBR I ordered to come) Now this part is hard to explain, you see. I'll try my best. Where just the straight part should have been was where the circle on the end of the pin was, so in other words, the coiled end of the safety pin was in my pierced hole. THIS BROUGHT ME UNBEARABLE PAIN. I was swollen, I walked like a cowgirl and when I went places people looked at me like I was an alien. This friend that helped it to get 'all up in there' was the only one that knew about it and he still calls me waddles to this day. The worst part about this was that I had to tell my friends that it was something that hurt in my leg that was making me walk like that cause they think that genital piercings are gross. I tried twice to push it through, I didn't try very hard cause the pain was horrible, but I woke up one morning and it was magically out and back to normal, a little soreness was still with me but everything looked good again.

So now all is back to normal, and I'm happy with everything again, if you have to do it yourself, be smart about it, follow these peoples advice, most of them know what they're talking about. Good luck and have fun!
