So after years and years of debating on whether I should get a VCH, I made today the day and went for it. I wanted to go last week but my period arrived so that caused a delay. I read a crapload of experiences and did my research so I went into the whole mindset that yes, this will hurt. I found a good shop in Cincinnati and went after class today. After I signed the papers, I was led to the back, and the piercer asked me to disrobe. At this point, I'm shittin bricks. I mean, I have my tongue and navel pierced but this is my wooha we're talking about and everything down there is very sensitive. I asked him the usual reaction to this piercing and he said it varied from 'bloody murder' to no reaction at all. So I just said to myself, 'balls to the wall', undressed waist down and climbed on the table, spread eagle. He clamped my lady bits which was more annoying than anything and 1, 2, 3, the needle was in and OMG...there was a surge of pain in my crotch and I failed to realize that I jumped, thus causing him having to reinsert the needle to complete. The whole time I cussed like a Russian sailor and at one point I wanted him to stop. After the curved barbell was in, I felt a lot better. He gave the usually after care advise, I paid the good man and tipped and was on my way. Word to the wise, wear a pantyliner. your pants will thank you. I think it's so cute and I can't wait to test it out. It's swollen right now so I will continue to remain my advil schedule
