Clit piercing and clit jewelry

Clitoral piercings are rare. Many female who talk about having one or wanting one are mistakenly talking about clitoral hood piercings. Few women are good candidates anatomically. To be pierced safely the clitoris must be large enough to accommodate jewelry. There is a rule of thumb, is that the clit must be as large as the end of your pinky finger. Smaller than this and the piercing has a good chance of rejecting. Second, the hood must be small and naturally well-retracted, leaving the clitoris exposed. If the hood is tight over the piercing it can force the jewelry into uncomfortable positions and make healing impossible. Also, if jewelry is constricted or twists under the hood the piercing may migrate, reject, tear, or scar. Jewelry in a horizontal piercing may twist if the wearer's pubic area is narrow or if she has large outer labia.
