Women's Body Piercing Screws

Choose hypoallergenic materials like implant-grade titanium, surgical stainless steel (316L/316LVM), niobium, or solid gold (14k or higher) if you have sensitive skin; avoid base metals with nickel if you have allergies

Match the screw's gauge and length to your existing piercing—common gauges are 16G and 14G for body piercings—measure diameter and required shaft length or consult your piercer to ensure a proper fit

Prices vary by material and brand; budget options are often under $50 while higher-end materials (titanium, gold) average around $80 and can go higher depending on design and purity

Look for smooth thread finishes or threadless/twist-to-lock designs, secure screw-back fittings, rounded edges, and low-profile tops to minimize irritation and snagging on clothing

Clean with saline solution or a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser as recommended by your piercer; remove jewelry only when fully healed and avoid alcohol or peroxide which can dry tissue

Decorative coatings, plating, and glued-in gems can wear off over time and may cause irritation; choose pieces with securely set stones and hypoallergenic base metals for safer long-term wear

Consult a professional if you’re unsure about sizing or material compatibility, and seek medical attention for signs of infection, severe pain, unusual discharge, or allergic reactions
