A fourchette piercing is a female genital piercing. It is a piercing done at the rear rim of the vulva, in the area of frenulum of labia minora. Many women are not suited for this piercing since they do not have the required flap of skin in the area. Otherwise, placement and piercing tends to be relatively easy although there may be difficulties with aftercare and wear.
The fourchette piercing is placed at the forward end of the perineum,[2] making it most similar in location to the male guiche piercing. It requires a pinchable flap of skin at the rear rim of the vulva.[3] Piercers should not pierce into the vaginal tissue or vaginal canal as the vaginal tissue often rejects the piercing.[4][failed verification]
