My nipples aren't pierced yet either. Though I really like the barbell style!

It's going to depend on your tolerance for pain in the long run I think. My friend got hers done in a straight shot with a barbell and it lessened the amount of time it took to pierce them. A ring they have to curve it into the freshly made piercing and with the experience of my nose, lip and tongue, the barbell going through my tongue felt completely different to the hooking in of a curved hoop through my lip and nose. But as I said, everyone is different, and it will also depend on your professional's options wherever you have it done.

Some parlors use barbells, some rings. Some parlors even offer numbing gel on the area. Stylistically, if this is what you're asking, I prefer barbells, but I also love the occasional nipple shields too. My girlfriend hates pierced nipples. Good luck!

For new nipple piercings I highly recommend getting the barbells first! You cans always change jewelry later. MY Piercer says That you should wear the initial jewelry for about a year, if for some reason it needs to be changed before that, you should have the piercer do it for you to prevent scaring, etc.. There are several reasons I think the barbells are better for initial piercing jewelry.

When you first get your nipples pierced, the are super sore for a while and you will find that the jewelry (regardless of which kind) will get stuck on all kinds of things you didn't think of. The rings have less of a chance of the end getting stuck in something, but a much better chance of getting caught in the weirdest ways. Carrying groceries against your chest can provide some pretty interesting scenarios believe me! With either, be especially careful of body luffas. The mesh type material catches, even when you are gingerly trying to clean around your nipples and can drop you in pain if you are letting it drop from your neck and unwittingly snag an end!

I think the barbells with smooth ball ends are the way to go because they have the least potential of getting caught on something. If you were to go with the rings, you would need to flip the ring upward several times a day to wear them in both positions while they are healing for equal amounts of time. Contrary to some peoples beliefs, you should not be twisting (spinning) your jewelry around in the fresh piercing because it promotes scar tissue. I think the ring s are harder to clean around (you will be doing salt water soaks five times a day for several months) and you have to get the crusties off your nipple and the jewelry. The barbells are MUCH lower maintenance in my opinion and more comfortable for long term wear.

I hope that helps you decide! Good luck and enjoy! My nipple piercings were worth every second of pain and effort I put into them!

Barbells with smooth balls are a great starter.

Just remember to keep your piecing cleans and use the antiseptic spray to prevent infection of the initial raw piecing.

I did the rings but I always snagged them on stuff. Like just lifting my shirt. Barbells ever since!

I like barbells over rings. Not into chains.

Barbell for sure !

Barbels heal a little faster and are easier to wear without the chance of them getting pulled or ripped. Plus you can always get a hanging charm for them that have the same look of rings, so best of both worlds!

No titty jewelry for either of us we're just vanilla gorillas, I guess. Happy fun loving bears

We don't have ours done but my friend has a tattoo shop and does piercings. He said that you should get bars first and then hoops if you want later just like everyone else is saying.

I absolutely love my barbells, I have smaller boobs and nipples so I thought the barbell would look better, it's just a silver ball on each side of my nipple, you can't see the bar and I have them done horizontally??

I have barbells they don't get hung on everything

Nipple stretchers are the extreme end of barbells.

I don't have them done, but if I were going to get them done it would be side to side with silver simple barbells to start.

Barbell seems to be the overall consensus.
