Choosing the piercing location for your pierced labia

January 19, 2005
By:  Bob Whitehead

While genital piercing for pleasure and aesthetic value is a relatively recent phenomenon in American society, the pierced labia has been around for centuries. Matched piercings on the right and left labia minora or majora could be linked together with body jewelry in order to ensure a woman’s virginity or fidelity.

Nowadays, labia piercings are more for sexual enhancement and for an appealing appearance. However, the term “labia piercings” includes two different procedures, varying in location, ease of piercing, and healing.

Chastity piercings were often placed on the outer labia. Today, it is less common for a woman to choose her labia piercing to be on the outer labia because the skin is thicker and healing is more difficult. The jewelry is rejected with higher frequency than inner labia piercings. Compounding the healing process is the presence of sweat and tight clothing. Follow aftercare instructions with care and vigilance.

Inner labia piercings, done on the labia minora, are more common. The skin is thin in this area, so getting pierced isn’t as painful as it is on the outer labia. The tissue is also stretchier, so it can withstand multiple piercings. One is more likely to receive sexual stimulation from a pierced inner labia than a pierced outer labia.

Inner labia piercings heal in one month to a month and a half, while outer labia piercings take between two and three months to heal. After the healing process is complete, you can adorn your new piercing with the jewelry you find most pleasurable.
