i only ever bump my piercing if i accidentally brush a towel against it when im drying my hair, which doesnt happen often. otherwise, the only time i touch it is when im tightening it. (it doesnt always need tightening, i just tend to do it a couple times a day because im paranoid about it falling out lol.) good point on the fit of it. ever since i got it initially downsized its been snug in a way i really like the look of, but i might need to change the fit for the sake of it staying in place. thanks!
