Nip n Labret

I have had my nip ring since 98. I left it out nearly a year while pregnant since I wanted to breast-feed. That ended since my baby had to be on SOY not regular milk due to allergies. Well a few months later I decided to see if I could get any ring thru it. I had to work with it a little. Afterwards it was SORE. But it did go thru - soreness only lasted a few days. Guess I'm lucky. Seems like the older it is the longer it may stay open. LOL sounds good anyway. Alto, I have a new labret and my retainer ends are fairly loose. I'm sure that will come out during surgery. (Once I'm approved). I seem to lose the ends all the time. Got to look into this more and find out what retainer ends are ava and tight.
