FAQs: Most interesting questions about things to consider before getting your nipples pierced

What should you not do before getting your nipples pierced?

Do not drink alcohol the day before the procedure – this can lead to excessive bleeding, and the state of a hangover, in turn, can increase the discomfort. In addition, do not take any medications that impair blood clotting.

Avoid high doses of caffeine a few days before your procedure, and don’t drink coffee the day before. Also, if you are taking nutritional supplements or alternative medications, study them and ensure they do not increase your risk of unwanted bleeding.

What should I wear before getting my nipples pierced?

It is better to wear something loose so as not to squeeze the place where the piercing will be done. Therefore, avoid wearing clothing that will pressure the puncture site (push-up underwear, compression underwear, bandage tops).

What are the rules after getting your nipples pierced?

The first rule is that you need to take proper care of pierced nipples. It is necessary to treat nipple piercings at least 5 times a day. Then, wear clothes made of soft, smooth fabrics only, so the jewelry has nothing to catch on. In addition, you should exclude visits to open fresh water, swimming pools, baths, and saunas throughout the healing of the piercing. Finally, you can change the jewelry after complete healing and not earlier than a month after the last inflammation.

How long to not touch nipples after piercing?

You don’t have to touch nipples after piercing for at least 3-4 weeks.
