Is it possible to have an apadravya piercing that doesn’t go through the urethra? I know that having it go through the urethra anchors it, but I’m kinda concerned by the possibility of having leaks while urinating.
Yes, it is possible…although not all that common as it will typically result in an off-center piercing, which most people aren’t into from an aesthetic point of view.
While leaking is a possibility with an apadravya, it’s much less likely than with a PA piercing.
If you do have leaking, it is usually easy to simply press the bottom ball of the barbell up against the bottom hole to eliminate the leaking. You might get a little pee on your fingers, but hey…you should be washing your hands after using the bathroom anyway.

I’ve got an apadravya…. it does leak a little.. but nothing that is anywhere near an issue. I just stand a little more over the urinal/toilet so the few drops that come out don’t land on my feet.
James on September 7th, 2008 at 7:26 pmI agree with James, you’re probably talking about leaking drops or a fine stream from the PA hole, as Derek says you can hold up the bottom ball if it helps. I’m uncut so if i piss with the foreskin down it funnels all the urine into one neat stream anyway.
A non tran-urethral apa will probably be harder/longer to heal as well. It’s theoretically possible to angle the bar with the top centred and a wide PA hole if you don’t care about vertical symmetry, but since the placement area is also the widest point of the urethra you may end out with a bottom hole at more than 30° off centre.
