VCH stands for Vertical Clit Hood piercing, which is a type of piercing that runs vertically along the clitoral hood. The clitoral hood is the thin fold of skin that sits over the glans clitoris, which is the tiny nub at the top of the vulva, between the labia. The piercing is designed to increase the sensitivity of the wearer and provide sexual benefits. The tissue is so thin that the VCH is one of the least painful genital piercings you can get, and the piercing pain only lasts a second. The risk of infection or injury with a VCH is low but still possible, along with other risks associated with any body piercing. The cost of a VCH piercing varies depending on the location and the piercer.
