INTIMATE PIERCINGS.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?

Pain or discomfort.

After getting the piercing you may feel a sharp, stabbing pain or discomfort. This is normal and usually goes away within a few days.

Swelling and redness.

Your skin may swell and become slightly red for a few days after the piercing. This is a normal part of the healing process.

Sensitivity.

The area around the piercing may be sensitive to the touch. Be careful when cleaning and avoid touching the area.

Liquid.

It is normal for some clear or light yellow fluid to come out of the piercing. This is your body's way of healing.

Crusts.

It is normal for some dried discharge to collect around the jewelry. Avoid picking at it to prevent infection, but make sure to keep the area clean.

Itch.

As your piercing heals, you may feel itchy. Avoid scratching to prevent infection. If you can’t resist, use a cotton swab to gently rub the area.

Infection risk.

Although infections are relatively rare, it is important to follow proper aftercare instructions to minimize the risk. Signs of infection include persistent redness, excessive swelling, pus, or worsening pain.

  • Healing time.

    Intimate piercings usually do not heal too slowly. The healing time is 1 to 6 months. The most important aspect of the healing process is to avoid pressure on the piercing. Many people underestimate the importance of this, but it is essential. So remember not to wear tight clothing and be careful to avoid pressure on your piercing.

  • NO PERFUME/CREAM/OIL.

    Avoid using perfumes, creams, or oils on your piercing. These products contain chemicals that can infect your piercing and slow healing. Keep the area clean and dry, using only saline or mild cleaning solutions recommended by your piercer. This will help prevent complications and promote proper healing.

  • INTIMATE.

    If you have an intimate piercing, make sure to wear clean and breathable underwear, such as cotton, every day. Avoid lace during the healing process, as the piercing can get caught in it. Don’t make it too tight and be careful that it doesn’t get caught on your towel. Don’t use soap, but always clean your piercing after a shower, not during. You can soak it in water, but don’t touch it or clean it in the shower. Clean it with saline solution after a shower.
