The relatively new and little-known Princess Diana piercing resembles a vertical clitoral hood piercing.
This involves 2 piercings, to the left and right of the clitoris, running through the clitoral hood.
Unlike a VCH, you will have 2 piercings, to the right and left of the clitoris, instead of a single ball on the clitoris. To what extent the name originated with the late Lady Diana is unclear.
PIERCING PROCEDURE:
Like the regular clitoral hood piercing, the Diana Piercing is done from low to high and does not involve piercing the clitoris itself. Unlike the VCH, however, two piercing canals begin on the left and right of the clitoris at the bottom and join at the top.
The recommended jewel thickness is 1.6 mm.
HEALING:
The Diana Piercing generally heals very quickly and there are rarely any complications. Approximately four weeks are needed for the initial healing stage.
Genital piercings can take between 2 weeks and 6 months to heal completely, rarely longer. Like other external piercings, in the first three weeks it should be cleaned with Pronto Lind spray twice a day, and then coated with Pronto Lind gel. It is important to wash your hands before touching the pierced area and the jewel itself. By caring for the piercing in the correct manner and with the proper materials, you will rarely have to deal with cases of proud flesh.
Disinfectant solutions containing alcohol or chlorine should be avoided.
When it comes to having intercourse following a piercing, we do not advise you against it, but usually, people wait a couple of days before resuming normal relations.
A secret tip is using your urine as a healing agent, which can speed up the healing process enormously.
JEWELRY:
The jewel initially used should be a 1.6 mm banana ring and should be adapted to the customer’s anatomy.
We recommend combining two balls of different sizes.
STIMULATION:
The stimulation provided by the Diana Piercing is the same as that of the clitoral hood piercing (vertical). It stimulates more than a regular HCH piercing, however, because the balls lie to the right and the left of the clitoris.
The other stimulation is visual because while a clitoral hood piercing is nice, having two is even better.
ALTERNATIVE:
A horizontal, a vertical, or a combined horizontal-vertical clitoral hood piercing – a Magic Cross.
What are the types of clit piercings?
- Glans Piercing: This is the only type of clit piercing placed on the actual clitoris. It can be a vertical piercing on the clitoral head or a horizontal piercing on the midpoint.
- Vertical Clitoral Hood (VCH) Piercing: The VCH piercing is incredibly popular — it’s placed vertically through a thin film of tissue on the hood’s peak.
- Horizontal Clitoral Hood (HCH) Piercing: The HCH piercing goes horizontally along the base of the clitoral hood.
- Triangle Piercing: It’s placed horizontally through the base of the clitoral hood, usually below the shaft of the clitoris.
- Princess Diana Piercing: This is essentially a VCH piercing done on the side of the clitoral hood tissues rather than the peak.
- Christina/ Venus Piercing: This piercing starts from the front of the vulva and emerges at the mons pubis, making it a clitoral glans and hood piercing.
Which type of clit piercing is right for me?
Everyone’s vulva is unique, so everyone needs different types of clit piercings. A clit piercing that works for someone else might not work for your particular clitoral glans or hood shape or size. You should consult reputable and reliable clit piercers to determine if you’re suitable for clit piercings. And if so, you should ask about your particular clit piercing options.
According to the Association of Professional Piercers (APP), most clit piercers avoid glans piercings unless you’ve had previous clitoris glans piercing without issues. Since the glans piercing is done on the clitoral body, which is a small nub, it’s only suitable for people with a large and visible clitoris. Even if you have a sufficiently large and visible clitoris, the surrounding tissues might be too tight for the safe application of a glans piercing. That’s why glans piercing is an extremely rare type of clit piercing.
Most people opt for VCH, HCH, or other clitoral hood piercings. That’s because the clitoral hood is usually large enough to accommodate piercings. But if you have an extremely large or prominent labia majora, the pierce may advise against an HCH piercing because it can be uncomfortable. Most piercers perform a Q-tip test, which involves placing a sterile cotton tip underneath the hood to determine if you have enough space for jewelry. Your pierce will thoroughly examine your anatomy and determine the ideal type of clit piercing for you.
