Prince Albert Piercing Pain Experience
The question on everyone’s mind: how much does it hurt? Pain tolerance varies, but most describe it as sharp and brief—over within seconds.
What to Expect During the Procedure
- The piercing is done with a sterilized needle—not a gun.
- You may feel intense pressure followed by a quick sting.
- Most report it’s less painful than it sounds, thanks to the soft tissue in the area.
Post-piercing soreness can last a few days. Avoid friction during this time—our water-based lubricants can help reduce irritation if intimacy resumes later on.
Prince Albert Piercing Installation Tips
Getting the piercing done by a professional is non-negotiable. Here are some tips to ensure a smooth installation and healing process.
Before You Go
- Choose a licensed body piercer with experience in genital piercings.
- Avoid alcohol or painkillers, as they thin the blood.
- Eat a meal and stay hydrated to avoid dizziness or fainting.
Aftercare Essentials
- Use saline solution 2–3 times a day to keep the area clean.
- Wear breathable, supportive underwear to minimize movement.
- Refrain from sex or masturbation for at least 2–3 weeks.
To enhance control and reduce sensitivity post-healing, consider trying a delay spray to manage sensation comfortably.
Prince Albert Piercing Care
Proper aftercare ensures clean healing and reduces risk of infection. Expect the full healing time to be around 4 to 8 weeks, depending on your body and hygiene habits.
Cleaning Do's and Don'ts
- Do: Rinse with warm water daily and use saline spray.
- Don’t: Use alcohol, peroxide, or scented soaps.
- Do: Pat dry gently after showers—never rub.
- Don’t: Change jewelry before 2 months without professional advice.
Keeping the area lubricated with a clean, safe product like those in our lubricant collection can help avoid pulling or discomfort once healed.
