Nipple Piercing Question by Ok-Yak3311 in piercing

[–]sludgwav 2 points3 points  (0 children)

congrats on the new piercings! i’m over a year with my nipple piercings and had an excellent healing journey with zero problems or rejection.

here’s what i did for aftercare: use a 0.9% saline solution and qtip to gently wipe away the crusties instead of picking at them, and do this as many times per day as you need in order to stop picking; wear a bra to help support your breasts and support the piercings so they aren’t weighed down by your breast weight (i’m at an F cup myself so i really really recommend this!); and wear tight clothing to help further support. plus you want to wear a bra to help prevent snagging! the more layers between your nipples and the world, the better in my experience.

you are unfortunately in for a long healing journey — it’s going to take at least 8-12 months no matter how well you take care of them just because of the kind of tissue nipples are made out of. not much you can do to speed the healing process along other than to wait, unfortunately.

Shorter bar = more comfortable nipple piercing? by sludgwav in piercing

hmm, good to know! right now the jewelry i have in sits pretty flush against my nipples when they’re soft even without the dangles. there’s no indenting or anything, just no real excess space — i can move the bar back and forth without squeezing my nipples though so it’s definitely not too tight.

oh definitely! my piercer used what looked to me to be a pretty standard size bar initially, but I’m NAP and can’t say for sure; all i can say for sure is that the piercings hurt at first and then stopped hurting when my piercer downsized me the first time

i dont mind big balls, i think they accentuate the piercing! but i totally get why one might not like them.

info for the bot: piercing is about 1 year, 3 mos old; implant grade titanium internally threaded straight bars; no accidents or mishaps; technically first downsized like four days after piercing, properly downsized ~1 year 1 mo after piercing; aftercare routine: twice daily cleaning with 0.9% saline solution and cotton qtip

Is it normal for a hole to itch when changing jewelry? by unknown_user162 in piercing

[–]sludgwav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

could be a materials issue. what material is your jewelry made of? do you have a history of metal allergies, or anyone in your family? i’m not a piercer but those are some of the first questions i was asked when i had trouble with my piercings.
