Fact or fiction: Getting your ears pierced really hurts

 
My mom said I could get my ears pierced when I turn 12, and my birthday is right around the corner. I’m really excited, but I’m starting to get nervous, too. Does getting your ears pierced hurt?

 

Most girls report that getting your ear lobe pierced is pretty painless. You’ll feel a sharp pinch for a few seconds, and your ears might be throbbing for a few hours after the fact, but it should not hurt. And so long as you take care of your new piercings, turning your posts and cleaning the hole daily with hydrogen peroxide, you should be able to ward of infection.

 

While some say that ear piercing guns are quicker and more painless than a sterile needle, there has been a lot of controversy lately over the safety of ear piercing guns because it’s impossible to sterilize them, and they also seem to have a high chance for mishaps. We recommend you avoid mall kiosks and opt for a professional piercing shop or reputable jewelry store, and if at all possible, have your piercing done with a sterilized, one-time-use needle rather than a piercing gun.  Pick hypoallergenic studs to minimize risk of your body reacting the metal earring, and listen to and follow the care directions you’re given!

I got my ears pierced at icing and the gun got stuck on my ear and it hurt so much and then the woman who was doing it had to go talk to the mall security guy cuz someone had just tried to steal a bunch of stuff. Looking back, its kinda hilarious.

mod mod mod!!!!!! Ok so I REALLY REALLY wanna try tampons. I asked my mom before but she said no because I'm a virgin and I won't be able to, which Is not true virgins can wear tampons, i want to use them because they're cleaner not such a mess and in gym nobody will know I'm on my period because u can't see tampons, but you can see the wings of pads. Please help me on convincing my mom!!!!!! Thanks xoxoxoxo

Hey girl,

You're right that virgins can use tampons, so try waiting a few months and then bringing up the topic again (calmly) with your mom. If you can explain why you want to use them without getting upset, you'll show her how mature you are, which may help in convincing her to let you wear them!

NEVER EVER EVER EVER clean a piercing with hydrogen peroxide! Especially cartilage piercings. It will make the skin around the piercing dry and cracked. And it will make the piercing bleed and prevent proper healing. Instead use the solution the piercer gave you or a sea salt soak.

It's painless. I got mine done in grade.2 and it's was painless and it didn't hurt after that. DO NOT TAKE YOUR EARING'S OUT BEFORE THE TIME THEY GIVE YOU NOT EVEN 1 DAY!!!!!!!!! I took it out one day before and it grew over a little bit and I had to shove my earing through the skin. Well actually my mom did it. It really hurt so don't do that! If they say ex:3 weeks it might be best to wait 4.Have fun getting your ear pierced Smile
