LOL...maybe a barbell is standard? Maybe it all depends on the piercer! My guy pierces anything with a ring...says they get caught on things less. I dunno! If it works, it works!

I'd think you'd be ok with 18g in cart. It's not easy to stretch, so maybe it won't tear as much? I just know it's a b*tch to pierce...lol.

I know the barbell is good for *caugh* other things... you touch the top ball and the bottom ball... you get my drift.

Okay..I'm dense, so I googled VCH. :faint: Although I can see how it would be fun to know it was there when nobody else knows it's there. ;) Kinda like your own little secret. But I don't even like pap spears, I can't imagine going in for that operation! :fr:

You go, girlfriends...I'll stick to my ear piercings, thanks!

Courtnie, how's the piercing healing up???? My nips are healing fine, but 2 weeks in I developed a staff infection in my right breast. NOT fun!!! Swollen, red and tender to touch, everywhere except the piercing! The doctor even said that the piercing is healing great itself...just something on the inside!

Anti-biotics and Motrin for 10 days and it's all good!

Hope your healing is going well.

And techwife, it was really easy...nothing like a pap smear or anything like that! Very un-operation like.
