Can you sleep on daith piercing?
It is best not to sleep on a daith piercing, especially while it is healing. Sleeping on your daith piercing will apply extra pressure to the wound which can cause it to take longer to heal.

Can you put a septum clicker in a daith piercing?
It is not recommended to wear a septum clicker in a daith piercing. This is because the septum clicker has a straight bar whereas the daith is usually pierced with a curved needle.

Can you put a straight bar in a daith piercing?
You cannot put a straight bar in a daith piercing, unless you have been pierced with a straight needle.

Once your daith piercing has healed with a curved barbell you will always need to wear curved jewellery in your piercing.

Picking Out Daith Rings
It is important to choose the right size and material for your piercing jewellery as your body may react differently to different materials. Getting the right size of daith ring is important for the health of your piercing.

- Material: Choosing a high quality material such as titanium will provide you with a hypoallergenic material that is perfect for everyday use. Surgical steel is also a good choice for healed piercings as it is durable.
Inserting/Removing Daith Rings

Changing a daith ring is a simple process that can be done at home but if you would like help, especially the first time, then it is best to visit a piercer.
It is important to be patient and not attempt to change your piercing jewellery before the wound is fully healed as this can cause complications. However, once it has healed you can start exploring your options.
Most daith piercing jewellery including the ring, heart, and star a seamless rings. This means they are made of a single continuous piece of material with a small break in the ring for removing and inserting the jewellery.
