What type of retainer do I need?

Alley S.
BodyCandy's pierced pro & fashion forward diva

DEAR ALLEY: I am pregnant and I don’t want to take out any of my piercings. I have a VCH piercing, two forward helixes, one tragus and a belly button. What type of retainers can I use and which one would recommend to switch to and at what month of the pregnancy?

My only concern is the two forward helixes because of COVID I don’t access for my piercer to change it for me? Suggestions I look forward from hearing from you and please stay safe!

Thank you,
- Jackie

Which is better Gold or Titanium Jewelry?

DEAR ALLEY: Some advice on Tragus jewelry would be very much appreciated.

My piercer is a BIG advocate of the threadless jewelry and more specifically titanium. She used titanium for my initial piercing which is still in the process of healing (two months in). I would like my final piece to be white gold/small diamond of which she’s trying to steer me clear of saying white gold threadness ends aren’t the best choices because gold is soft and can break. I’m considering going to internally threaded to get what I want. All of the higher end pieces that I’m finding are white gold so I’m wondering if gold is so unreliable, why is everyone using it for the threadless ends?

Thank you for another opinion!

I've had a lot of trouble with piercings. Any Advice?

DEAR ALLEY: My belly button piercing was done on the 12th Feb this year. I got it done as a birthday present to me, but have had issues with the fact that it keeps becoming inflamed or red and dry and if I don't touch it it gets all crusty looking. It has also started getting pus again, sometimes clear or opaque, other times like a yellow-greeny colour. I'm worried it's not going to ever heal up.

I don't have the greatest of hygiene but I was using the spray given to me with aloe Vera in it and other things I know nothing about 3 times a day when I first got it.

When I knew I had an infection the first time I used wound spray on it and the spray given. This time I'm trying to use a moisturizer spray to hopefully help the crustiness as the professionals claimed that was normal to have and a bit of pus.

Some of my piercings have never healed. I've had to have other ones taken out because infection got too bad. I don't want to remove this one if possible however I have 2 weddings come up the end of June (winter) where I am so will be rugging up and would like it if I could take my piercing out for those 2 days in a row. Will I be able to if they are still infected or does it still need to stay in if there is no change.

Also being a bigger girl does this affect my ability of having a belly button piercing? Sorry for the tons of questions and thank you if you respond!
