Answering questions about female nipple piercing

December 29, 2004
By:  Bob Whitehead

Female nipple piercing has been around for centuries. It was believed that piercing the nipple made women’s breasts fuller and more attractive while also making the nipple more easily excitable. Female nipple piercings were a type of fashion accessory, from the fourteenth century onward.

Women today choose to pierce their nipples for similar reasons. Many report feelings of heightened sexual sensitivity in the area and it certainly provides a unique look. Women with smaller nipples might also enjoy more prominent nipples after the piercing, though a nipple will not stay fully erect just because of the piercing.

The piercing is located on a fairly sensitive part of the body, and it’s natural for a woman to have concerns. How long does it take to heal? Will a bra be irritating? Will you still be able to breastfeed with a pierced nipple?

The healing process for pierced nipples is between two and eight months. It depends on the size of your breasts – smaller breasts heal more quickly – and how much irritation the nipples endure during everyday motions. A clean bra that stays dry, like a sports bra, will keep you comfortable. Women who plan on becoming mothers will be able to breastfeed their children one day, though taking the jewelry out during breastfeeding is a must.

Proper placement is important, especially to avoid the buildup of scar tissue. A correct nipple piercing is performed at the bottom of the nipple where it meets the areola. Looking at photos and reading other women’s stories about getting a nipple piercing will help you know what to expect both from the process and from the piercing professional.
