Nipple piercing is still common among men and women alike. This articles aims to answer and nipple piercing questions you may have.
The most popular question has to be will it hurt? And the simple answer would be yes! The skin around the nipple area can be extremely sensitive, so for those with low pain-barriers it may hurt quite a bit. However your piercist may be able to rub a special numbing cream onto the area, which helps take away the edge of the pain whilst you are getting pierced. It is actually considered to be more painful for men then for women.
After you have been pierced there are several options available for body jewellery. They are either a plain barbell, or a ring. Your choice should reflect your nipple type and also how frequently you play sports. If you are very active and there is a lot of friction in that area it is recommended that you wear a barbell which will cause less irritation to the nipple area.
Women will still be able to breastfeed after getting their nipple pierced, and it also heighten sensations in the nipple area. Some women are worried about their piercing being able to be seen through t-shirts. This problem can be solved by wearing a lightly padded bra, which will cover up your piercing – if you don’t want it to be seen that is!
