Piercing guide › Intimate piercings › HCH
The HCH goes horizontally through the clitoral hood, usually at its lower edge. The jewellery lies across in front of the clitoris.
The hood must be wide enough so that the jewellery doesn't press on the clitoris constantly.
A ring or curved bar made of implant-grade material is usual.
The basic rules of aftercare apply here too: sterile saline solution, clean hands, don't twist the jewellery. More on the Care and aftercare page.
When to see a doctor
I don't do intimate piercings. This page explains what the piercing is. If you want one, choose a studio that specialises in intimate piercings and looks at your anatomy beforehand. The healing time is a guide value, averaged from information given by piercing and tattoo studios. Where the figures come from.
