Smooth segment ring in lip piercing?

ok i have my right side lower lip pierced with a labret stud


once it has healed (in my opinion and judgement =]) iv bought a smooth segment ring to put in i have a few questions


1- How much will it hurt to change the jewellery for the first time?


2- How easy are the segment rings to put in/ live with


3- my piercing is quite low down and i have quite full lips so i orders it 12mm diameter, 16 gauge, does this sound about suitable





help appreciated. this is the ring iv bought

Smooth segment ring in lip piercing?
It shouldn't hurt too much if it is already healed. That type of ring is veryy suitable for lips and looks neat cuz you don't have that giant ball hanging out one side of your mouth. Just make sure you clean it regularly just like you would with any other piercing. Sometimes it can be hard for one person to put it in by themselves try having someone that trust help you get it in for the first time. It might take you a while to get used to changing it and cleaning it yourself.

Reply:Hi ya,





1. Changing jewelery will not hurt at all provided that it is healed. Once your piercing is healed, you can do all kinds of things with it and it doesn't hurt one bit.


2. Putting the jewelery in is not a problem. I always found it more comfortable to put it from the side of inside the mouth towards the outside. Living with your piercing is the same as living without it, except you get the stares and stupid questions plus you look fabulous.


3. I think you ordered a good size, but to be honest, your piercer shoud have given you all the sizes after piercing. My lips are not very full and the piercing right below the lip so I used to wear 8mm diameter.





I'm sure you look cool.
Reply:16 sounds good for a first timer. It doesn't hurt if it's adequately healed. Use Bactine to clean it. It has a numbing agent, plus it cleans it. Just make sure you put the new ring in right after you take the stud out. It will probably start to close up right away. It took a few years before I could leave mine out over night and not have to force it through the next day. Make sure you sterilize the ring first. Good luck.
Reply:You should let your piercer change your jewelry. This will provide a sterile environment, and cause you less pain and hassle of doing it yourself. Segment rings sometimes can be tricky. Same as captive bead rings if you don't have the tools. Good luck getting it in. I have a hard enough time putting beads the rings I have in my own ears %26amp; I have the tools! I have to have them installed. Let your piercer install this or you can check into horseshoes that have balls on both ends. It's easy to take in %26amp; out. They have them in blue titanium too! Good luck!

Well if your lip is fully healed then it shouldn't be painful at all, unless you're having difficulty getting the jewelry in. Then it might be a little bit sore afterwards and sting slightly if you try to shove the jewelry in.





2- How easy are the segment rings to put in/ live with?


They're pretty tricky to get on but once theyre in, it's perfectly fine. But it is different than a labret stud. If the segment ring is too long then the ring will constantly be getting in the way when you go to eat. So make sure you get the right size





3- my piercing is quite low down and i have quite full lips so i orders it 12mm diameter, 16 gauge, does this sound about suitable?


Yes it does sound like a nice size. It should be good.
