I had wanted to get my piercings done for awhile now. I had spent literally months talking to various people and scouring the internet for information. Elayne Angel has a wonderful sight that shows many of the different placement for female genital piercings as well a little description of the piercing and its healing time. I also spent some time here on BME trying to learn from other people's experiences. From looking at pictures, as well as reading personal accounts and descriptions, I decided to get a Triangle with a Vertical Clitoral Hood. Yes, I know - double the pleasure, double the fun. I mean, personally, if you are going to suffer the pain for that particular region of your body, I think you should reap some mighty good benefits from it.

I showed up for my appointment. Candy wasn't quite there yet so I waited until she arrived. I truly appreciated her very professional and nice manner. She also took the time to make sure that I understood that I may not actually be suited for a Triangle. I told her I understood and silently pleaded...please, please.....oh, please, let me be suited!
She set up while I went down the hall to the bathroom to clean and give myself a tiny pep talk. I lay down on the cushioned table, she checked me and announced that I was, in fact, suited for a Triangle. With a silent cheer inside my head - YAY- I lay there very happy yet getting more and more nervous. I think I was holding my breath a little too much. All I was trying to focus on was staying relaxed.
I watched her open the sterile packets which helps me feel more comfortable. She also took her time with the placement and prep which I also appreciated. The clamp she used is very heavy and rather uncomfortable. There was also a slight burning sensation from one of the wipes used before the actual piercing. When she slid the needle through, I think I came as close to fainting as I ever have. I tried not to move but I know my entire body tensed. Then there was the tugging through of the jewelry. More discomfort than pain, I think. But then, it's over so fast that it's really not so bad after all. Ok, I take that back, it's bad, but it's worth it.
"I am not even going to pretend that didn't hurt.", I said after taking a deep breath. I think I even might have laughed.
I went into the bathroom once she had also finished my VCH. I was in pain, but it was also such a high. I felt great. I was so very happy that I had finally done it. I think it was truly hard to stop myself from smiling. In fact, I still find myself smiling whenever I think about it. Also, when I am sitting and lean over or otherwise move in a way that sends a nice little reminder. It definitely makes sitting for long periods of time a lot more tolerable.
The only downside was how much it bled. I wasn't quite expecting that much, but it didn't really last too terribly long. Rinsing the piercings with lots of really cold water helped slow the bleeding down. It also felt rather nice. It did make it rather troublesome to get a decent picture though. Now that it is more healed, I need to get a picture taken.
The aftercare is quite important, but not at all time consuming. I personally took two showers a day for the first few weeks. The salt soaks are extremely nice, especially when it was feeling rather irritated at times. I also appreciated this Luv My Piercing Lotion Spray that Candy had given to me along with a pamphlet explaining the aftercare in more detail. I don't know why the spray was so wonderful. I know that it helped keep my piercings moist, which I think, helped them heal as well as keeping my discomfort level down.
The pain is undeniable, but was never my main worry. I mean, wounds heal and time passes. Three months have passed and although I can tell you the pain was intense and very real, I can't be too much more specific as it's rather fuzzy now. I just remember that it seemed like a whole lot of pain for such a small little piercing.
Am I still happy with it? Hell yes. Would I do it again? In a heartbeat. Would I encourage other women to do it? Not on a whim, but if they have truly wanted it and researched it, then yes. Would I recommend Candy as a piercer? Absolutely, in fact I am already thinking of making my next appointment.
