I got a Prince Albert!

[bobby_rogers]

This past Saturday I got a Prince Albert piercing. It is my first piercing of any type ever. The shop I went to had great reviews for service and cleanliness, and they deserved them. The tech was great. My wife was there to hold my hand, but it hurt only for a quick second. Since then there has been no pain and no real discomfort. It bled a little bit for the first 20 hours, and then stopped.

All in all, it was surprisingly easy!

When I am convinced it is fully healed I am going to order a PA-5000. I just can not use the CB-3000 any more as it hurts my balls.

Good for you

I've had a Prince Albert for over 10 years and the only question Mrs Ringo and I have ever asked is why on earth did we not get it done sooner.

We both love it.

Just don't try to rush things and take it gently and slowly when you come to going up in ring size.

Congrats on your piercing! I agree with Ringo, don't rush it, you don't want to screw that up... it's a delicate piece of equipment, in my opinion!

Do take time in letting the piercing heal well. The PA5000 will put some pressure on your piercing when you get excited and if you rush it, it could cause migration in the piercing. Congratz!@

A PA takes a while to heal. The temptation is to rush it. My frenum piercing (which is way faster healing) took 6 full weeks before I could go from a barbell to a ring and 3 months before I could wear a Lori tube. If you do anything too soon, you risk infection and poor healing. Hard to wait, isn't it?

Congrats on your new PA!
It is a wonderful addition to your world. As the other posters have advised do take it easy, it's very tempting to play with it too early on. Let it heal and it'll be your friend for ever. Mine is up to 12mm now and can easily fit a padlock hasp through. I found once I was stretched up to around 6mm it just set off getting larger on it's own, a condition that is normal apparently.
Take it slow and let it grow. It the makes a great anti pull out option which is how we use it. i have a padlock through my PA and then through the bars of my cage, nowhere to go at all!
Have fun.

It has been 18 days since the piercing and I am surprised how easy it all was. Healing appears from the outside to be done, but I have listened to all the posts that say wait even longer before doing anything. I have the 5000 but am not going to try wearing it until after 30 days. My wife has enforced a no play rule since the piercing so I am trying to be patient.

Any more advice would always be welcomed. Thanks for all of the advice so far.
