The Prince Albert piercing is one of the boldest body modifications a man can choose. Whether it’s for aesthetics, enhanced sensitivity, or personal empowerment, this piercing brings curiosity and questions—especially for first-timers.
Here's everything you need to know, from pain levels to care essentials.
What Is a Prince Albert Piercing?
A Prince Albert (PA) piercing is a genital piercing that goes through the underside of the glans and exits through the urethra. Known for its visual impact and intense sensation, it’s become increasingly popular among adventurous men looking for a unique statement.

Prince Albert Piercing Pain Experience
The question on everyone’s mind: how much does it hurt? Pain tolerance varies, but most describe it as sharp and brief—over within seconds.
What to Expect During the Procedure
- The piercing is done with a sterilized needle—not a gun.
- You may feel intense pressure followed by a quick sting.
- Most report it’s less painful than it sounds, thanks to the soft tissue in the area.
Post-piercing soreness can last a few days. Avoid friction during this time—our water-based lubricants can help reduce irritation if intimacy resumes later on.

Prince Albert Piercing Installation Tips
Getting the piercing done by a professional is non-negotiable. Here are some tips to ensure a smooth installation and healing process.
Before You Go
- Choose a licensed body piercer with experience in genital piercings.
- Avoid alcohol or painkillers, as they thin the blood.
- Eat a meal and stay hydrated to avoid dizziness or fainting.
Aftercare Essentials
- Use saline solution 2–3 times a day to keep the area clean.
- Wear breathable, supportive underwear to minimize movement.
- Refrain from sex or masturbation for at least 2–3 weeks.
To enhance control and reduce sensitivity post-healing, consider trying a delay spray to manage sensation comfortably.

Prince Albert Piercing Care
Proper aftercare ensures clean healing and reduces risk of infection. Expect the full healing time to be around 4 to 8 weeks, depending on your body and hygiene habits.
Cleaning Do's and Don'ts
- Do: Rinse with warm water daily and use saline spray.
- Don’t: Use alcohol, peroxide, or scented soaps.
- Do: Pat dry gently after showers—never rub.
- Don’t: Change jewelry before 2 months without professional advice.
Keeping the area lubricated with a clean, safe product like those in our lubricant collection can help avoid pulling or discomfort once healed.
