An added benefit to nipple piercing |

Dead nipples are not an uncommon side effect to pregnancy and breastfeeding. Truthfully, most women tend to complain more about their saggy breasts since those tend to be a more common talking point at birthday parties and social events. Women can laugh about tucking their boobs into their belts, but bring up the useless nipples and eyebrows tend to go up. And if you’re still able to climax, than a couple of lifeless areolae aren’t anything to get too upset about. But for women who need a bit of nipple play to send them on their way to ecstasy or, for the chosen few that can climax from nipple stimulation alone, losing sensation can be a startling post-partum discovery. Surprised? What was once thought to be something for porn stars and pain freaks, nipple piercing has made its way into the homes of moms looking to gain back a little bit of what they lost with their breast milk. Perhaps the idea of getting a bar stuck through your nipple isn’t hugely enticing, but considering that you’ve pushed out a baby through your vagina or had one cut out of your uterus, the three-second pain of a needle through your nipple is probably equal to you stubbing your toe at this point in time. And for adoptive parents who have been put through on many an emotional roller coaster, a couple of tears over a bloody boob are probably a walk in the park. The truth of the matter is that if you’ve ever had a newborn with a bad latch or been bitten at least once with those razor sharp incisors, then you can easily survive a nipple piercing. Besides, a quick scan of all the possible complications, like scabbing, tenderness, and possible infection, are all things you’ve probably had to deal with anyway, except at least this time, you don’t have a baby wailing at you from the other room or an annoying lactation consultant telling you that it will get better. Rest assured that most women who do get their nipples pierced report a much increased sensation. Well, either that or they’re just getting way better sex thanks to the hot silver rings they’re sporting. Clearly, there’s no better way to distract from your post-partum sagging breasts than with some snazzy shiny jewelry. Regardless of which way your boobs are pointing, it’s pretty hard to resist tugging on a couple of shiny bars or rolling them around in your mouth. Make sure to schedule an appointment with a reputable piercing artist, keeping in mind that reputable doesn’t necessarily mean shiny clean walls and a convenient mall location. Granted, it might be tough to get a nipple piercing recommendation at your weekly playgroup, but consider the internet your friend and do research in your area. And if you’re still planning on using your dead nipples to feed yet another mouth, most sources say that a nipple piercing will not interfere with the breastfeeding relationship -- although for safety reasons, you might want to take out your jewelry. Considering the suction of a nursing baby can compete with a Dyson, you probably don’t want to risk them choking on your nipple ring. Clearly getting a needle stuck in your nipple might be an extreme solution to what is most likely very low on your list. But considering you went through almost all of what’s involved in a nipple piercing and sometimes more just for the sake of your beautiful child, what’s another round of Lansinoh and soothing gel packs for the sake of your own pleasure? Besides, you probably still have all that shit lying around anyway. Might as well put it to good use.

You may want to note that pierced nipples do leak an awful lot if you do breastfeed. I know. I had mine pierced pre-baby and wound up having to feed her on one side and hold a cloth diaper to the other.2. Graham

While you're there, why not take your partner and get him a Prince Albert? That way he won't feel left out. Who knows, you might even enjoy it!3. Christy

I just had my nipples and clitoral hood pierced today. I consider myself a conservative woman. I have four children ages 2 to 9. Make sure you check the piercers certification, and the equipment before you take the plunge. I did this for me and my husband who really loves it. I recommend it for anyone wanting to vamp up their sex life, and add some good sensation to everyday. Do the research, then go for it. I'm glad I did.4. Baily

IMPORTANT: nipple piercings and any other genital piercings need to heal before they can be played with or they run the possibility of being torn/irritated/rejected. and do NOT get your nipples pierced while you are breast feeding as they will become a bacteria trap. Once they are fully healed(6 months to 1 year) breast feeding is not a problem, but you will need to regularly clean your piercing. But as someone that has a nipple pierced, they are great additions if properly cared for!5. Jessica

Just found 'Mominatrix'. Love it. Am now 'following' on twitter and 'a fan of' on facebook. Noted my discovery as my status on both. Its great to know a woman doesn't have to leave her sexuality behind after becoming a mother!7. Renee

It's a myth that saggy breasts are caused by breastfeeding. In fact, it's simply caused by the fact that your breasts become larger during pregnancy and then shrink again, stretching out the skin. There's no difference in sagginess between women who breastfeed and those who don't, just between those who become pregnant and those who don't.8. Jessica

I got my nipples pierced about 9 months ago. I've been wanting to get them since I was 15 an got them when I was 18. Ilove pain so it didn't hurt that much. Just a painful pinch and then they where sore as if someone had bit them. It wasn't soo bad. Im thinking of getting my cliterous pierced but im scared it'll hurt and we need to pee so idk. I just might not get it lol!9. Christina

Jessica-I think you mean a clitoral hood piercing; clitoris piercings are very rare and pretty dangerous if the piercer doesn't know what he or she is doing. Urinating shouldn't hurt if you get your hood done.10. missy

I am 39 years old and am dying to have my nipples pierced. I have put off having them done for the fear of just going in and having them done. That and I have inverted nipples and am afraid that they will not be able to pierce them.11. Heide

A word of caution - I had my nipples pierced a while back and got such a horrible infection that I almost lost my breast. The piercer was reputable. I think the problem began when it was exposed to saliva before it was completely healed. It was a great fix for inverted nipples though.
