Removing nipple ring

Bessacadia

How difficult would it be to do alone? I had bars in for nearly a year, changed them to D-rings two months ago ( went back to the piercer) and wish I hadn't - keep flipping up in the night and getting crusty and sore, wheras I had no problems with the straight bars, I want them back but can't be arsed to go back to Dublin just to get them changed over! Any tips??

Tis easy to do.
-wash hands
-pop ball out, if it won't just pop out get a nail sissors wrap the blades in tissue and then insert into the ring and use them to force it a small bit apart the ball should just come out then.
-Insert clean barbell and tighten ball (make sure its really tight)

Mine flip up in the night sometimes too...don't cause too much irratation though..

Can't - one nipple is really sore and a bit crusty so I'm going to soak for a few days then try.

Get some hydrogen peroxide 20vol in the chemist and that'll take the crust off for you

ewww eww there is just nothing right with the phrase crusty nipple! eww

If your having problems with dry skin/irratation and crusting/puss. I can reckamend Bio-Oil. its just a few cent over €12 for a 60ml bottle( I've been using it two weeks and not made dent in it) After I had gotten a infection in both my nipple piericings. (due to a strep throat infection) I had started having the same problem after the infection went. I was having such dry skin that even lumps where coming off from my t**** rubbing off it. One "hole" was even as deep and wide as one of the balls on my bars. I'm not kidding I could even see a yellow tissue at the bottom of it. Once I started using the oil after cleaning. I started to heal. A week after using the oil you could hardly see any of the damage. Now after the second week. You cant see it at all. It is fully healed and no crusting any more at all. Going to keep using it till I run out. its worked wonders for me. I was worried I would have to take them out.

What? Can you possibly rephrase that, it makes no sense?

Can try, me nipple piercings are walking off, I mean, it is moving out of the nipple. I had an ear piercing that did the same, no bother there, weird it was from the same place.

Bit like that, it moves a bit out, it heals on both sides, a week on it moves a bit more out again. Its not really sore and it looks alright, just some crust on the sides when it is healing. I clean it up, etc, all normal. Week on it starts again. My right nipple piercing is nearly off, its just missing a tad bit, and its not sore at all.

So, what I want to know if it is normal for a nipple piercing to gradually move out of the nipple in its own ?

Ok so it is being rejected by the body, thanks for the clarification.
Here is the information that bmezine has on rejection

I've lost my bloody bars, and haven't got €50 to replace them bugger bugger.

So these poxy rings have got to stay in for the moment - hot salt water is MIRACULOUS!

Two straight bars should cost you less than 20 euros, the last time I got bars in snakebite they cost me 8 euro a piece, where are you buying jewellery? Someone is ripping you off big time.

lol ok. Surely though if it is a choice of sparkly ones or irritated nips with migrating rings or healthy nips you should bite the bullet and put the healthier cheaper bars in until you can afford to get the eye-candy ?
That'd be my opinion, and after doing a large gauge stretch to one of mine recently I know it can irritate quite a bit for a while.

Well, the rings are not migrating,just flip up and annoy me in the night unless I wear a bra, and feel a lot better now that I have been doing salt water soaks.
I have got two plain bars at home SOMEWHERE so the only ones I want to pay for are pretty ones I will keep hunting....
