Hey all,

So I’ve had an apadravya for ~18 months now - ~12 months at 10ga, then a stretch to 8ga for the last six months. Say I wanted to take the barbell out for an hour or two, how difficult would it be to put it back in after that time? Would I have any issue with the piercing starting to ‘close up’?

Put simply I’m afraid of not being able to get the barbell back in Sorry for the newbie question!

Cheers,

Cam

The length of time it takes for a healed apadravya to tighten up without the jewelry in place will vary from person to person. You can try testing it in the bathtub by taking it out for a short period of time and then putting it back in. This will give you an idea of how long you can leave it out and still be able to replace it comfortably.

If you take your apadravya out before sex you may find that the piercing tightens up due to the increased circulation that comes with an erection. It can be handy to keep a taper and lube on hand for smoother replacement.

Also, be sure that your jewelry and/or taper is highly polished and free of nicks or scratches before removal and replacement.
