A Fourchette is a female genital piercing, which is vertical to the lower body of the meeting places of the labia minora (labia frenulum pudendi).Fourchette is the French word for fork. The position of the piercing is located at the junction between the vagina and perineum, hence the name.

Implementation

It is heavily dependent on the anatomy of the woman and therefore can not always be carried out. Many women do not have the extra skin fold at the back of the vaginal vestibule. Furthermore, it can get through the situation due to high mechanical stress during vaginal intercourse. This and the relatively short branch canal to make the piercing uncomfortable to wear and also prone to growing out. Because of these limitations is a rather rare piercing.

Healing

The healing process takes longer because of the short needle tract is not long, about 4 to 6 weeks. During the healing is because of the proximity to the anus to ensure a high level of hygiene.

Jewellery

As a jewelry curved barbell or ball closure ring with a thickness of at least 1.6 mm is recommended.
