Dear ladies with freshly pierced nipples,
I suggest you go out and buy the following things:
Sea Salt
Shot glasses
Paper Towels
Nipple pads(but not the fuzzy ones or the ones that shed! Or you could just use the paper towels)
Chamomile Tea bags
Antibacterial soap
A small thing of tea tree oil
Jewelry that is smaller than what you have now
Trust me on this. I'm experienced.
Do your sss in the shot glasses, while laying on your back. Or soak the paper towels in the hot sss, and then put the in your bra as you go about your business.
The nipple pads add extra cushioning for when you get bumped.
Warm chamomile tea bags are great for soothing.
And change your jewelry into something better as soon as you heal! I didn't and I left the big barbel in for the longest, which lead to a very pissed off piercing. I switched to a ring, which it likes better, and put some tea tree oil on it, and it was very happy with that.
