Exploring the Princess Albertina Piercing: Placement, Pros, Cons & More

Most people have heard of a Prince Albert piercing, but few have heard of a Princess Albertina. They are both placed in the same anatomical region: through the urethra. In the case of the Princess Albertina, that’s in the upper part of the vagina.

The Princess Albertina is a relatively unknown piercing. It’s also quite complicated to do, so very few piercers do it.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of a Princess Albertina?

One of the few advantages of this piercing is the stimulating effect that can occur during intercourse. Behind the urethra, there are stimulating nerves that this piercing will touch due to its placement.

On the downside, women have a short urethra, which means bacteria can accumulate in a small place. Any urethral piercing in women increases the chances of urinary tract infections. Therefore, it is not advised to have this piercing.

If you want an intimate piercing, Christina and Labia piercings are an excellent place to start.

Can anyone get a Princess Albertina?

Not all women can get this piercing due to everybody’s unique anatomy. You can find out if your urethra is suitable for this piercing by inquiring with an experienced piercer.

What jewelry can I use for Princess Albertina?

The most common piercing jewelry to use in a Princess Albertina are rings and horseshoes. Their diameter shouldn’t be so large that it gets in the way during intercourse.

How should I care for Princess Albertina?

Once you have decided to get this piercing and are aware of its potential complications, you should listen carefully to your piercer’s advice regarding aftercare.

Avoid vaginal intercourse and masturbation during the healing period; the piercing should be left alone and not stressed more than necessary.

Avoid external bodily fluids as these can cause infection.

As the jewelry is in the urethra, it may be a good idea to urinate after cleaning the piercing to flush away any residues.
