Frequently Asked Questions about size small medium large
How should I choose piercing jewelry when I see sets labeled small, medium, and large?
Start with your piercing type and comfort level, then match the gauge and hole size to what you wear most comfortably. Sets labeled small, medium, and large typically include three different sizes to accommodate multiple piercings or to experiment with fit. The included sets in this range feature piercing jewelry such as horseshoe earrings and septum rings in materials like surgical steel or titanium, providing options for beginners seeking a gentle fit and experienced wearers who want variety.
What does 18 gauge surgical steel mean and why is it used?
18 gauge refers to the thickness of the piercing jewelry, and surgical steel is widely used for its durability and corrosion resistance. In this range, many sets use surgical steel for reliable wear without excessive irritation, making them suitable for initial piercing or daily use. The material choice helps minimize nickel exposure and is often chosen for its compatibility with sensitive skin over time.
What is internally threaded vs external threading in these sets?
Internally threaded jewelry has the screw-like portion inside the ball or end, which threads onto the post, offering a smoother finish and reduced snag risk. This range includes internally threaded pieces, which are generally easier to wear and less likely to catch on clothing. External threading, by contrast, features threading on the outside of the post, requiring care during handling. Both options are offered in small, medium, and large sizes to suit different piercing needs.
Which set is best for beginners versus experienced wearers?
For beginners, start with a small size and simple designs that are easy to insert and comfortable for daily wear, such as basic horseshoe rings. For more experienced wearers, medium and large sizes allow more expressive styles and thicker gauges. The availability of three sizes per set helps new users learn fit while giving veterans options to rotate styles and gauges without purchasing new configurations.
What should I consider for safety and hypoallergenic use?
Choose sets made from surgical steel or titanium, as these materials are widely regarded as hypoallergenic and durable for long-term wear. Check for smooth finishes and secure ball ends to prevent snagging. If you have sensitive skin or a history of metal allergies, avoid lower-grade metals and look for sets explicitly labeled as medical-grade or stainless steel to reduce the risk of irritation.
How do I care for new piercings and avoid irritation with these sets?
Before wearing, sanitize the pieces and wash your hands to prevent introducing bacteria to the piercing site. Start with a conservative size to reduce friction during healing, and avoid sleeping on newly pierced areas to prevent pressure and irritation. Clean daily with a saline solution, and remove or adjust jewelry if you notice redness or swelling. Always choose sizes that fit comfortably and avoid forcing tight fits that could cause tissue irritation.
