Is it safe to wear plastic piercings on freshly pierced nipples?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: If it's freshly pierced, you should clean it with alcohol several times a day and avoid changing it out for at least 4-6 weeks until it's set. Otherwise, you may encounter infection or close up of the hole.
