I’m back with another question after my previous question about the barbell sinking in.

With the new, longer barbells my piercings are healing quite well =) My question is, how long until its safe for my partner to suck on my nipples without worrying about germs or saliva potentially infecting the piercings? It’s been about 6 weeks since my nipples were pierced.

Thanks in advance for your help, and thanks for being a resource for folks with loads of questions!

Three months is how long, on average, it takes the body to complete the preliminary stages of wound healing in non-muscous membrane, however, this tissue is still fragile and prone to damage. Nipples do take a while to fully heal. Usually a year to eighteen months - sometimes longer. I wouldn’t advice any nipple play for at least twelve months as this can upset the piercings and give you problems. Gentle kissing is fine after the first three months but sucking, biting, nipple torture (whatever your bag is) I would leave until fully healed. This is why I usually advise folks to get one done, allow it to heal and then get the other done!
