I have booked an appointment for Sept. 25, likely beach season will be over here.

I had a hafada briefly as it did not heal well. I believe there was too much movement down there from my gardening activities. It may have been placed too low on my scrotum - not positive. I've been contemplating getting another.

I have 6 hafadas. I've stretched them all at 0 gauge. I wear straight barbells for everyday wear as the rings get too heavy. I also wear pouch underwear if I have to wear them as they keep my balls up front so I don't sit on the piercings. I love mine. Good luck.

I wear titanium and I plan to use the 8G CBR that was initially used for my guiche. Thanks for the note on underwear.

I got my hafada last Friday, the 25th. It was the least sting of the 4 piercings I have had to date. It take a long time to mark the placement as my skin isn't very pliable in certain areas on my scrotum and my testicles to move quite a bit which made it a little bit more difficult. However, it was done. Now I want 2 more, one above and one below it. LOL.

I got one hafada then went back a week or 2 later and got two more. After about a month I got three more. My piercer did a good job of spacing the piercings equal distant apart. If you plan on getting more than one (or want a ladder), make sure you let your piercer know so he can leave enough space. Plus gauge size is important. All six of mine were done at 12 gauge and now all are stretched to 0 gauge. I wear straight barbells with 1/4" balls. When my scrotum is tight (think cold water) the balls are almost touching (that's the barbell balls and the boy balls!) When the scrotum is hanging nice, there's about 1/2" space between the balls.

From The Piercing Bible by Elayne Angel:
A hafada is simply a scrotum piercing.
It is generally placed on the side of the sac, frequently in pairs.
They are often placed on the midline...
A lorum is a piercing of the tissue at the juncture of the shaft and the scrotum...
A guiche is a piercing in the male perineum, between the scrotum and the anus...

I just got my second hafada/scrotal. It is placed above the original. In a few months I'll do number 3 which will likely be my last.

Both of my hafadas are now at 6G. The end of March/beginning of April I will likely get #3.

I have 9 Hafadas and love the look and feeling of them-- also full ladders on shaft and balls... about 35 below the belt...
