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:

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
