What is nipple jewelry?

Nipples are known to be one of the more sensitive areas in our body, and the process of getting a nipple piercing is more painful as every sensation is amplified. Once you are done with the process, getting pretty or sexy nipple jewelry is a good way to reward your body.

There is a wide variety of nipple jewelry to choose from, from nipple bars to nipple rings to nipple shields. There are always different styles and options to choose from based on the occasion.

Nipple jewelry may come in pairs or individuals, depending on if you did nipple piercing for both nipples or one nipple.

What are the types of nipple jewelry?

There is a multitude of designs of nipple jewelry. These are the more common ones that you can find in a piercing shop:

• Nipple bar

Nipple bars are nipple jewelry that looks like mini barbells, with two balls on each side of a bar. Nipple bar comes in both straight and curved form for you to choose from.

Nipple bars are usually more popular as they do not move much and are more subtle and concealable under clothes. In addition, there is less chance for tugging or pulling of the nipple bars such that it would irritate your nipples.

• Nipple shields

Nipple shields are additional accessories that complement straight nipple bars. As its name, it will partially or fully cover your nipple, acting as a shield over or around your nipple.

Nipple shields are either sold separately or together with straight nipple bars. They are usually intricately designed that make your nipple looks unique and sexy.

There are tons of nipple shield designs out there that range from seasonal to adorable to downright scary. Body Candy is a great shop to find almost any style of nipple shield to complement other jewelry of yours.

• Nipple rings

Nipple rings are usually circular in design and usually comes in multiple variations, from CBRs (captive bead rings) to seamless rings.

CBRs are nipple rings that consist of a hoop with a ball to connect both ends of the nipple ring.

Seamless rings are nipple rings that run in a continuous circle. If you want to wear it, you need to pry open both ends of the nipple ring and slide it into your nipple piercing.

Segment rings are nipple rings similar to CBRs. The only difference is that instead of a ball, it is replaced with a segment that is similar to the rest of the ring for connecting.

Nipple clickers are nipple rings that have a hinge to open and close easily to slide into your nipple piercing.

Nipple rings may also come with dangling pieces to make you look like an exotic dancer or gemstones to make them colorful and pretty.

How do I choose nipple jewelry?

1. Material

Nipple jewelry comes in many materials, and the better the material is, the higher the costs.

The more common materials used in nipple jewelry nowadays are hypoallergenic materials like titanium and surgical stainless steel. They are popular as they are inert materials and less likely to trigger an allergic reaction.

If you are getting stainless steel nipple jewelry, do remember to make sure that the stainless steel is “medical-grade”, or “implant-grade”. Some stainless steel may mix in nickel without your knowledge, and they are common to trigger allergic reactions in your nipples.

PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), otherwise known as BioFlex or BioPlast, is also hypoallergenic and flexible, which is also a great material choice for your nipple jewelry.

If you are willing to splurge, gold or platinum are good choices, but they may cost upwards of hundreds to thousands.

2. Size

If your nipples swell or get erect easily, get nipple jewelry that is long so that it does not press against your nipple. If it eats into your skin, it may cause pain, or even result in necrosis (tissue death).

Usually, for beginners or everyday wear, nipple bars are the ideal jewelry as it is the easiest to find options for varied length. You can get a specific length based on your nipple size to cater for space on each side of the nipple, between the balls.

If you are getting nipple shields or nipple rings, you need to be mindful of the measurements and ensure that extra spaces are catered on each side of the nipple to allow them to breathe and expand.

Always measure the appropriate size and do not get overly long or large jewelry. If they are too oversized, they may get caught on your clothes as it gets tugged by the fabric every time you move and may also show through your clothes.

If you are unsure, always check with your piercer or a professional on the best size of jewelry you should get.

3. Texture (Threading)

For nipple jewelry, always look out for those that come with internal threading. Internal threading means that the swirl of the locking mechanism is not on the portion that will get inserted into your nipple.

Always check that the surface of the nipple jewelry is smooth and does not have any bumps or edges. This will reduce the situation where your nipples may get cut or irritated due to the rough texture.

I’m new to this.  How do I wear nipple jewelry?

If you are wearing nipple bars, slot the bar carefully and slowly into your nipple piercing. Once you have inserted the bar, secure the nipple bar by screwing the ball on the other end of the bar by rotating clockwise towards your nipple.

If you are wearing nipple shields, line up the nipple shield with your nipple piercing. Ensure that the nipple shield is centered before sliding the bar through the nipple shields and nipple piercing and screwing the ball.

If you are wearing nipple rings, slowly and carefully slot the bead-free end of the ring through your nipple piercing. Once the ring went through the piercing, secure the ends of the nipple ring with the bead.

How do I remove nipple jewelry?

Make sure that your hands are clean and dry before starting to remove your nipple jewelry.

If you have nipple bars, unscrew the ball on one side by rotating counter-clockwise until it comes off the jewelry. Slowly slip the bar out of the nipple piercing.

If you are wearing nipple shields, slowly slide the bar out of the nipple shield before sliding it out of your nipple piercing.

If you have nipple rings, slowly insert the closed tip of a small pair of scissors in the loop of the nipple rings. Keep the tip from touching any of your body parts. Open the scissors slightly, it will in turn pry open the edge of the ring apart. Do so till the nipple rings open up. Slide the ring out of your nipple piercing via the bead-free end.

If your nipple rings come with a hinge, you can simply remove them by manipulating the hinge and sliding it out of your nipple piercing.

Safety first, and do not attempt to remove stubborn nipple jewelry with brute force! If you face difficulty, always contact a professional for help.

How long should I wait after my nipple piercing before I can get nipple jewelry?

Usually, nipple piercing takes any time from six months to one year to heal. Never rush into thinking that you can start changing nipple jewelry once the pain subsides. Nipples are very sensitive, and it is important to allow time for them to heal properly before accessorizing them.

How do you hide nipple jewelry?

In general, opt for smaller nipple jewelry to wear if you would like to hide them, but not remove them. Usually, straight nipple bars are a good choice. Make sure that the balls on each side of the nipple are small so it does not protrude out.

For the ladies, you can wear extra padded bras which provide cushioning to cover up the jewelry. If you do not have extra padded bras, you can also use nipple covers to hide the jewelry.  Otherwise, layer up to cover up your chest to avoid attraction to your nipple.

For the guys, usually wearing an undershirt is sufficient to cover up the nipple jewelry. If it is still visible, you can layer up or wear clothes with thicker materials.

How do I clean nipple jewelry?

Nipple jewelry can be washed by soaking them in a solution of anti-bacterial soap and warm water for a couple of minutes. Rinse and towel off to dry them. If there is still stubborn dirt or stains, use a soft brush or q-tip to scrub off before rinsing the jewelry.

The nipple jewelry looks amazing, but I am afraid of doing nipple piercing. What should I do?

The good news is, you no longer need to have a nipple piercing to make your nipples pretty. There are many non-piercing nipple jewelry options out there that you can clip or attach to your nipples.
