Ok so at least 8 or nine weeks ago i had my nipples pierced. they healed up fine and I had slightly curved bar bells put in. Well I wanted straight black ones so my bf got me a bunch of different pairs. I changed them last night and put the new ones in hydrogen peroxide to clean them (didnt have anything else). They went in super easy but today the are trender and sensitive again. Does anyone have any knowledge as to why. I'm not alergic to hydrogen peroxide and the jewelry is supposed to be titanium(i am alergic to nickel). Any help would be appreciated maybe this will just go away in a few days.
Thanks Ladies

Its normal. I have had pierced nipples for 2 years or so now. While the surface of the wound has healed all the way through, its a deep wound. It will be more like 3-6 months before you can change your piercings without some sensativity. Spray bactine with lidocaine will disinfect, lubricate and numb them up for a little while.

My current jewelry is titanium and I wont wear anything else! Are the balls titanium or cheap nickel? Youd probably be better off with plastic or hematite or stainless surgical steel.

Hope this helped.

Well mine havent been sensitive for at least 3 to 4 weeks now. That was until I changed the piercings. Also is it normal to have some clear liquid come out of them now. It hasnt been doing this until this morning.

you may be allergic to whatever you're wearing now...my piercer told me 6 months (because every persons healing time is different...for instance if you smoke it will take a LOT longer to heal) before I tried new jewelry. A natural part of the process for healing any wound includes the secretion of a white-yellow fluid (containing dead cells and blood plasma). This fluid will dry and form crust on your jewelry so always be sure to clean with in a hot shower to loosen it. If you feel that the normal secretion is turning into a thicker and darker discharge, then go to your Dr to make sure its not infected.

Also you mentioned 8 weeks...thats only two months...you are NOT healed yet even if you think you might be....nipples take 3-6 months to heal completely

This thread has removed any doubt from my mind that I don't want pierced nipples. *shudder* You ladies are much braver than I!

oh I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I will lose them next month when I have my breast reduction....I will have to wait about a year to get them redone

Oh it didnt hurt any worse than getting your ears pierced!

Secondly I had inverted nipples, piercing fixed that.

I prefer captive ball rings (round ones with nothing to get caught on a bra) and have no problems.

Clear fluid is called claret, its your bodies way of flushing the piercing.
Keep it clean and lubricated. Peroxide is a drying agent so get some of that spray bactine!

Thanks for bringing this topic up! I have been considering getting my nipples pierced for about three or four months. I really want to have them pierced, but am not sure about the process of the piercing. I think I can tolerate the actual piercing part just fine, it's the healing process I'm concerned about. When I had my ears pierced they were really sore and tender for about a week, and I'm not sure if I want to go through that with my nipples, as they're a more prominent part of my body and I wouldn't want to be whacking them accidentaly and have them be sore and such.

Hope your nipples heal well tho, LC!

I cringe at the usage of bactine! Ladies! While bactine is slightly better than hydrogen peroxide it's still a rough agent and is very drying. Ideally your piercer should have suggested something to clean them like satin or provon soap. Clean with the soap in the shower, and never EVER wipe with cotton because the threads get caught around the jewlery and cause further problems. For all of my piercings I soaked daily with a sea salt mix that has the salinity of tears, so think 1/4 teaspoon to 1L water. Warm it up and always always use a clean container like a dixie cup or something of the sort.

Really? Maybe it was the lidocaine in the bactine I used because it always left mine soft and lubed. I dunno?

I have basically no problems with them i love mine to death and would definetly do it again in heartbeat. They actually have stopped hurting but my peircer told me that it takes about 6 weeks to heal but who knows i know im not alergic to titanium so maybe it was the peroxide that did it plus i went from bent to straight barwith bigger balls on the end so who knows, but they did stop hurting yea!

They heal from the outside in. I hate to use surgery as an example but, for example, my mom had quad bypass surgery. Chest scar: the skin healed first then the muscle under it, the bone under that, more muscle, the pericardial sac and the heart and new grafts itself.

Kinda like when the nipples did the "itching" stage? It was a deep down IN THERE kinda itch. If you knock them against something its still gonna hurt trust me. In a few months you can change the jewelry whenever you want without any discomfort.

I loved bactine for my nose piercing, and it didn't irritate or dry at all. The piercing place recommended Dial soap and/or an enzymatic saline solution (H2Ocean?) but I like the bactine.

I've thought about getting my nipples pierced, but ratbastid objects - doesn't want to "mess with perfection" as he says. Cute, but

Does it hurt more or less than an ear cartilege piercing? That one took about a year to heal completely. Yipe.

It hurt like a 1-2 OW! Then it was all over. Healed in 6 weeks. Healed inside in about 6 mos. It didnt hurt unless you messed too much. You could have oral pleasure or even good tweaks goin on but too much tugging or changing jewelry made it sore for a day or so.

Thanks Lady Sage! I'm really looking forward to getting mine pierced now. My husband is all kinds of excited- he's wanted me to get them pierced for about six months now, but I've not been completely for it- just because of the pain. Now I can't wait!

Thanks girls!

OK, so the reason I would want my nipples pierced is that I can have AMAZING boobie-gasms if things are done just right, and given how sensitive my earlobes are, and how nuzzling and nibbling on earrings can be super sexy, I'm thinking that perhaps the nipple rings would be equally (or more!) fun toys. I think getting a little captive ring, and having it tugged on (gently) or flicked with a tongue seems like it would be just about the best thing ever. Is it that good, or are they just mostly decorative?

I just got mine done and I can tell you I thought it didnt hurt nearly as much as it did to get some tattoos done... I was told by the guy who did it to use plastic spoons to cover them to protect them from irritation from bras etc, but I found that not to be a problem, as I have been wearing sports bras this week, and there are no seams to annoy the piercings. I have had little trouble with the crusties he said I would have, and I have been diligent in keeping them clean and applying triple antibiotic ointment to them, although I have cut that back to only at night now, to keep from clogging the pores.
He told me that it would only take 10 days to heal, but I knew that would be a little bit hard to believe. I figured it would take at least 3 months for a good healing for them. But would I do it again? YOU BET!!! I did it for my man, I never thought I would do something like this, but I find it highly erotic to look at them now... and like I said, it didnt hurt nearly as bad as I thought it would.

Lady Sage

Told ya! You will have oodles of fun with them!!

I would really really like to get mine done, but the SO is not convinced.

Anyone got any input as to things I could tell him that might convince him to let me do it?

Its your body and youll pierce what you want to.

Tell him if ya dont like it you can always take them out and they will go back to normal.

The first is very much my normal attitude, lol, when it comes to smaller things. But this is a pretty major change to my body, so I'd like him to approve of it first, and since we're not the richest folks in the world, I'd rather NOT have to take them out.

I would take him to a couple of online places to "shop" for a pair or two of nipple rings that you can wear when youre healed up... let him pick out a pair or two of special pairs that really get his juices going... maybe that will turn him around. There are lots of places online that sell them some are pretty reasonable too. I would recommend some, but I dont think its allowed so I wont just do a search for nipple rings and you will find all kinds of places. There are even some on that famous online auction place... I have two pairs coming from there myself! So you can make it fun and find something cool that might get him jazzed too... good luck!

Sage

heya montana!

You're totally allowed to recommend sites, just not plug them in your siggy or anything like that. So, you can totally recommend E-bay, just not flood a thread with repeated ads or put a link to E-bay in your signature.



On another note, I GOT MY NIPPLES PIERCED TODAY! It's really great and awesome, I LOVE my peircer, and it hurt less than getting my earlobes pierced (about 6 months ago).

They look really great, they're achy a bit but otherwise OK. Thanks so much girls for all your posts about getting them done- you inspired me!

Woo Hoo Good for you Sage!!! Yeah I felt the same way about it when I had mine done last week, that getting my ears pierced hurt way worse... go figure! Maybe the skin there is a little thicker or something? But they are so sensitive to touch and all you would think that it would hurt... but it really didnt hurt as bad as I thought it would. I was really surprised! Ok since we can plug stores, the one store I found some cute stuff at was called Body Candy and they seemed to have some reasonable prices compared to some of the others online. And they are fast on getting the stuff to you! So anyway thats my plug since you did e bay for me ha ha... but I am so totally digging my nipple piercings, and so is my boyfriend!!!

ShaniFaye

way to go ya'll!!!

Im totally jealous seeing as I lose mine in 12 days lol

Really? I never noticed anything in the shower... in fact I do a lot of manipulation of the piercing stud in the shower... I think the warm water kind of helps things... hmmm I havent noticed anything particularly painful about the shower... maybe Im just built different?

Lady Sage

Its possible I have small B cups and when I went to wash my hair the next morning my arms knocked against them and I about went through the roof.

Maybe... Im a big girl and Im a C cup to boot... the girls are a nice handful the boyfriend says.. lol.. but I havent really noticed anything different in the shower, I have tried to treat them somewhat like my ears though, you know the theory that you have to keep them rotated to keep the skin from growing onto the post? so at least once a day I try to make sure I get the post to do a complete 360 in the hole... which is kind of fun since its a curved barbell... woo hoo... I have noticed the crusties only lasted a few days, and there is no need for the triple antibiotic ointment anymore... Have you noticed that they stay in at least a semi aroused state now all the time?

Lady Sage

For about 6 months. After that they will actually be able to get soft again... Feels good though doesnt it hehe.

Mine don't hurt AT ALL and I got them done two days ago. My piercer is AMAZING. I do keep a bra on at all times tho, because I notice that when I don't wear one the weight of my breasts tugs on the piercings a little bit (I'm a D cup). I think they are very aestetically pleasing and my husband thinks so too

I'm looking forward to when they can be licked and fiddled with!

PS- yeah, that's pizza the hutt!

I remember telling my mother about it shes 64 now so 2 years ago.... and my aunt well into her 70s...

They both called me a liar since I used to be SO afraid of needles(now with 11 piercings and 2 tattoos total of 5 hours in the chair)... I ended up taking them both to the bathroom and showing them.

My mother started pokin one around and said WOW those are REALLY IN THERE! (duh)

My aunt then gave me a pair of earrings to put in them obviously I accepted them graciously and just laugh about it now.

Oh hon, it's like... breasts are really, really awesome on their own, and getting my nipples pierced is like wearing a really great pair of earrings. It just adds that certian something to make the whole package even GREATER!
