Interest in nipple rings on the rise since Janet Jackson’s performance

August 04, 2004
By:  Lori Wilkerson

Since Janet’s performance at the recent Super Bowl, there’s understandably been increased interest in nipple rings and nipple shields.  After all, millions of people saw them for the first time that day on national television!  In fact, the Internet was inundated with people looking for similar styles of nipple rings over the next few days, and people wanting to learn exactly how nipple shields worked. 

The two most popular forms of nipple rings are the basic ring, which is a hoop that goes through the flesh at the base of the nipple with the loop hanging below much like an earring.  The other is a barbell style that goes straight through with a small ball or bead on either end where the shaft exits the flesh.  Both of these can be made more elaborate by adding dangles or other adornments.

Nipple shields, on the other hand, go around the nipple itself, often as a circular plate, with a barbell going through the nipple and then the shield to hold it in place.  Nipple shields can be very fancy, set with crystals and stones and elaborately etched and carved.  There are also some that are called Nipple Huggers® that simply squeeze around the nipple and don’t require nipple rings to hold them in place.

One of the reasons nipple rings are so popular is the many wearers swear that they increase sexual arousal.  Many women report that their breasts are more sensitive if they wear a nipple ring or shield, and that their partner’s response is stronger because of the visual appeal of nipple rings.
