'''A '''durometer''' is a device for measuring the hardness of a material, as well as the name for the measure of that hardness (aka "Shore A" in the softer ranges). While you can use a durometer to test the relative hardness of metals, in terms of body modification a durometer is usually being used in reference to silicone and other soft materials used for [[Implants|implants]]. The higher the durometer number, the harder the material.

A '''deep hood piercing''' is of course a hood piercing that has been placed more deeply. It's very similar to a [[Triangle piercing]], but with a deeper ("higher", toward the pubic mound) placement. Rather than sitting right below the glans of the clitoris, it sits ''under'' the glans and/or shaft itself. It should go without saying that this is a piercing that should be done by experienced piercers who understand the anatomy.
 
With piercings like this it's very important that the piercer be sensitive to the finer points of the highly variable female genital anatomy. Accidentally intersecting or even just nicking the shaft of the clitoris can be very painful. The area is also very vascular and there will be bleeding.
 
Healed, the end result of this piercing is (a) a "deeper" looking aesthetic, giving the impression that the ring has been wrapped right around the hood and clitoris, and (b) stimulation of the clitoris from inside the body as well as outside.


To put it into context, the O-rings on body jewelry are usually about a 60 or 70 durometer — skateboard wheels are usually between 80 and 100. A very soft squeegee would be about a 55 durometer, and a hard one would be about 80. The softest rubbers are usually about a 20 durometer. Implant silicones come in 10 durometer and up.

A durometer is a device for measuring the hardness of a material, as well as the name for the measure of that hardness (aka "Shore A" in the softer ranges). While you can use a durometer to test the relative hardness of metals, in terms of body modification a durometer is usually being used in reference to silicone and other soft materials used for implants. The higher the durometer number, the harder the material.

To put it into context, the O-rings on body jewelry are usually about a 60 or 70 durometer — skateboard wheels are usually between 80 and 100. A very soft squeegee would be about a 55 durometer, and a hard one would be about 80. The softest rubbers are usually about a 20 durometer. Implant silicones come in 10 durometer and up.
