How will exercise, sports, or sweat affect my piercing?
In most cases your piercings will not interfere with or be affected by exercise or sports. But you should use common sense. Before being pierced you should find out if your team or school has rules against wearing jewelry, as unless your piercing is very well healed you will not be able to take out the jewelry without it closing. If your sport is a rough one you may want to pad the piercing with gauze during the game. You should discuss your sport with your piercer before having it done so a safe jewelry choice can be made. For very active people a bent barbell may often be better than a hoop. Bicycle riding is not recommended if you have a healing genital piercing. After you are done with your workout or game you should shower following your after care instructions. Wearing loose, comfortably fitting and absorbent clothing can be a help.
