Plastic body jewelry is a safe bet for sensitive situations

Plastic body jewelry has two advantages that make it uniquely
suited to a variety of situations – it is flexible, and it is
totally inert.
The first trait makes plastic body jewelry great for situations
like surgery or pregnancy, when you have a piercing you want to
maintain, but you know that your body will be undergoing changes and
metal jewelry just isn’t practical. You will need something that can
move and bend with your changing body so that your piercing doesn’t
rip out or migrate. The flexibility of piercing retainers is perfect
for this kind of situation.
The second trait, the fact that it is inert and won’t react with
your skin, makes it an excellent choice if you are having surgery
because sometimes a person will develop an allergic reaction for the
first time after any type of major body trauma, which surgery can
be. If you will be forming scar tissue, you don’t want a metal
barbell in there; plastic body jewelry is flexible and easier to
remove or work with as the healing process takes place and will keep
your piercing open until you are completely healed.
Of course, there are other situations that are sensitive not
because your body is changing but because your life situation is
changing. For instance, if you are getting a new job and your boss
tells you the dress code doesn’t allow for piercings. In this case,
piercing retainers are a kind of plastic body jewelry that can
provide the perfect compromise – it can’t be seen during your
working hours, but it will keep you piercing open so that when you
are on your own time you can replace it with whatever jewelry you
want to wear.
So whether you life situation is sensitive, your body is
sensitive, or your body is going through some sensitive changes,
plastic body jewelry such as clear acrylic body jewelry can be the
perfect temporary solution.
