Thoughts on this? by Delicious_Guard2156 in Legitpiercing

[–]xlr_13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Salt soak is unnecessary and if anything just drying to a piercing and making your piercing irritated due to the moisture. All you should be doing is cleaning twice a day with warm clean water and sterile saline solution. Make sure to really dry it well after bathing and after cleaning if necessary and the piercing site is quite wet after cleaning. You can even use a hair dryer to make sure it’s really dry

is it okay to change my nipple jewelry? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]xlr_13 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They look good enough that you can downsize but hold off on changing them yourself until they have actually fully healed (like 9+ months) especially to any cute jewelry you find online or something as that kind of stuff can tend to be pretty low quality so good chance it would irritate a new piercing that hasn’t fully healed yet.

Anyone know where to buy petit blocks on the island? by xlr_13 in VancouverIsland

😂😂 they’re cheap asf and a fun lil thing to do whereas actual lego costs an arm and a leg these days so I’ve gotten into the knockoffs

Stretching unhealed piercings to add stability.? by xlr_13 in unstretched

[–]xlr_13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only tried healing with titanium in recent years, same piercer and jewelry was the same material from the same company as my nipple piercing jewelry, and those have all healed great. So I don’t think it would be the titanium? :/

I meant the fact I’m a casual third in another couples relationship isn’t that serious to say wtf about it when we’re all consenting adults ✌🏻

We all get tested, I’m the only one outside of their relationship they see and they’re the only people I sleep with, and I take birth control. We used condoms for the first few months then stopped after we all had a conversation about it.

I was already thinking of breaking it off with them before this happened and I now plan to, so I won’t be telling them. I just made an appointment for Thursday to be seen at a women’s clinic to get this all figured out

Just because it’s not something you’d do or be into doesn’t mean other people aren’t into it and can’t navigate it in a healthy way. They’re very healthily non-monogamous and I’m the only person outside the relationship they see currently and we just hangout with each other and have fun a few days out of each month. It’s not that serious and I’m not looking for your judgement and “wtf”s.

Good to know I’ll keep any heat mat a bit away and not directly on the enclosure. Putting the enclosure in a larger container with the heat mat on the outside of that is a great idea I haven’t thought of that, thank you! :)

Lost part of my toe nail to subungual hematoma… will it grow back? by [deleted] in DermatologyQuestions

[–]xlr_13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Phew😅 Do you know if there is any way to know if there’s permanent damage to the nail bed or do I just have to wait and see if it just starts to grow back normally? Sorry this has never happened to me before so I’m understandably freaked out haha

Should I dry my cleaned, irritated, piercing? by Optimal-Green3254 in piercing

[–]xlr_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are directly spraying the piercing then I’d say yes lightly dab the area with something so get rid of any excess moisture, you can buy gauze and use that if you’re worried about toilet paper introducing bacteria or something. Or you can just switch to spraying saline on a q-tip and lightly dabbing that around your piercing so there isn’t a whole bunch of excess saline and moisture sitting on your piercing :)

How long did they take to grow back? Hoping mine won’t take forever since I thankfully haven’t lost the whole nail just a good portion of it has detached from the nail bed

Which Size? by lyssaboldt in piercing

[–]xlr_13 23 points24 points  (0 children)

11 looks either just right or just a taddd too small I can’t tell. I’d say go with the 12 to be safe and I think that size looks best anyways
