'''The '''vertical hood piercing''', one of the most common [[Female Genital Piercing|female genital piercings]], passes vertically through the [[Clitoral hood|clitoral hood]], generally through a single central hole. Many people erroneously refer to it as a "clit ring," but the piercing does not in fact pass through the [[Clitoris|clitoris]] itself, it passes only through the hood.

The '''vertical [[Lowbret|lowbret piercing]]''' starts inside the mouth between the lower lip and the teeth (not behind the teeth as with a [[Mandible piercing]]) and travels straight down, exiting on the lower edge of the jawline. This piercing is usually done with a straight or very slightly bent barbell 1.5" to 2" in length depending on [[Anatomy|anatomy]].


The ring or [[Barbell|barbell]] — usually a [[Curved barbell|curved barbell]]) — is meant both to decorate as well as rub the clitoris. While most women enjoy this a great deal, some women find the constant stimulation a bit much to handle, while even others get used to the sensation. Naturally, this will vary from woman to woman.
Healing is usually uneventful, although the piercing can be quite sore at first. [[Gum erosion]] is also a risk depending on placement. In some cases there may be some transfer of fluid from inside the mouth to the outside of the piercing.


Most piercers perform this piercing using a [[Receiving tube|receiving tube]] placed under the hood, into which the needle is pushed from the top of the hood itself. The piercing heals very quickly and tends to be trouble-free, assuming the woman's anatomy allows it. Some women with excessively tight hoods may not be able to get this piercing. As a general rule, if a q-tip fits under your hood, you can get this piercing ("The [[Q-tip Test|Q-tip Test]]").
