WHAT ARE THE PROS AND CONS OF A PLASTIC INDUSTRIAL PIERCING RETAINER?

I am presumably removing an industrial trenchant tomorrow as well as we fool around in a small soccer rec joining as well as someone upon here pronounced which we could get a cosmetic servant barbell. What would a pros as well as cons of that, instead of a steel or titanium one?
“What have been a pros as well as cons……”

My bad. Typo. =P

    I’ve got my belly button done and i work as a beauty therapist we can’t have them in cause we use a lot of electrical treatments and either treatment won’t work or i’ll get electrocuted! so i have to have a plastic one, they don’t break easily which is good! but if you just gotton it pierced then you’ll need one in just in case it closes up.

    Plastic ones are good especially if you do football saves any chance of someone ripping it out by accident!! you haven’t exactly said where it is though! but you can get coloured ones that look wicked and make it your own style!

    If you mean a plastic barbell that goes all the way through both piercings, it has a couple of downsides.

    1. Since you’ll have a big piece of plastic running across your ear, you will still be in danger of getting it caught on something or getting your ear smacked with the ball. If you’ve ever gotten whacked in the head with a soccer ball and thought it hurt, you will not believe how much worse it will be with a new cartilage piercing in your ear. Cartilage piercings are slow to heal and industrials have the extra aggravation of one piece of jewelry through two piercings, so they take a long time to be happy. Your coach may not allow you to wear such a large piece of jewelry just because of the risk of it getting pulled or caught.

    2. Plastic barbells are flexible. As you wear them, they will start to form a curve to fit the area they are in. Since your’s will be spanning the gap across your ear, it may start to sag with gravity. This can alter the angles of your piercings and make it difficult to wear a metal barbell if you wanted to. Plastic being flexible makes it nice for things like sleeping and talking on the phone, but having it flex out of shape and distort your piercings is a definate downside.

    If you meant to get two seperate retainers and have the piercings angled to match once you are healed, that is a more practical solution. You can put a small plastic barbell in each piercing and they will not be subject to flexing over time the way a larger one would be. Once you’re healed (6 months to a year) you could switch to a metal barbell for daily wear and use your retainers for practice.

    Talk to your coach and see if you would be allowed to wear retainers in your new piercings. Explain how each option would fit and see if the coach will allow two seperate retainers.
