Any of you ladies out there with your nipples pierced? I've been contemplating it for a while now. I have pretty flat nipples (not exactly inverted just flat) and I am wondering if getting them pierced will make them seem less ... flat.

Thoughts, opinions, advice?

Nipple piercing can interfer with breastfeeding, I don't know if you were thinking of having a baby in the future.

I actually pierced mine for that very reason, mine actually were INVERTED!! Even aroused they barely laid flat (I hate my boobs in all ways).

It definitely does make them stand out, even when I take mine out they go back to inverted.. with them in, they look full and poked out.

Pain wasn't THAT bad having it done, but healing is a major pain. I've had mine for years, and my left one still isn't done healing. If I put the piercing in it gets warm and hurts till I take it out. I only keep my right one in at all times.

That's actually not true, I researched that before ever getting mine done. As long as it's not infected (re: pierced right before breastfeeding), and they don't pierce it too close to the boob (which any reputable piercer knows not to do this, as that's not where it's suppose to be), there is no problem breastfeeding with pierced nipples, you just need to take the jewelry out when breastfeeding so that it does not hurt their mouth.

OUCH!!!!! Double OUCH!!!!

Heh, actually I don't expect it to really hurt. I had a breast reductioin 7 yrs ago and they had to detach/reattach my nipples so I don't have my sensation there anyways.

Yah, like FF mentioned I think they have disproven this but I can't breastfeed anyways (due to the surgery mentioned above) but thanks for the concern on that regardless! :thumbup:

I've heard healing is a bit of a pain. Do you have a ring or barbell? And it's nice to hear that it does make a difference with flat/inverted nipples because I hate that look too.

They put hoops in originally, which I think hurt because of the tilted angles on the edges.. when I was able to change them out I put in barbells (small ones, that just barely fit, so that there's no clunky jewelry, it just keeps my nipples erect). So, I have barbells and prefer them. If you do decide to do this, ask if they can pierce with barbells, I may have asked for the hoops thinking they looked better.. but for healing, barbells are a lot nicer because they don't pull.

Am I the only one reading this thread with my arms crossed protectively across my chest??? As an old broad, I just can't imagine it - but hey, that's what makes life interesting!

i used to have both my nipples pierced, but took them out. i started out with the hoops and hated them, especially when it came to "cleaning" time. barbells are the best, and IMO i think pierced nipples look cuter with the barbells. :tt2:

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
