| ‣ Topic overview | |
The Princess Albertina piercing is a vertical female genital piercing that runs from the urethral opening to the vaginal opening. The name is not reminiscent of a princess called "Albertina", but is an analogy to the Prince Albert piercing in men.
A ball closure ring with a material thickness of 1.6 millimeters is usually used , but this can be too thin in the long term and as a result leads to the jewelry slowly migrating. In addition, the ball can be perceived as annoying. Therefore, in the long term, a smooth segmented ring with a thickness of four millimeters, as with men, should be aimed for. Healing takes two to three weeks.
Occasionally, urinary tract infections or cystitis can occur, as the urethra in women is relatively short compared to that of men. For these reasons, it is rarely performed compared to other piercings. Anatomically, it cannot be performed on every woman. Allegedly, it could increase sexual stimulation .
