It can be pierced and adorned with various jewelry styles. Septum retainers are typically U- or staple-shaped, and are used to keep the piercing open while remaining discreet and hidden from view. This makes them ideal for individuals who need to conceal their piercing for work or other occasions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"The_Experience_of_Getting_a_Septum_Retainer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Experience of Getting a Septum Retainer<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The process of getting a septum piercing involves a professional piercer using a hollow needle to create a hole through the “sweet spot,” a thin piece of skin located just above the cartilage. After the initial piercing, a septum retainer or other jewelry will be inserted. The entire process is relatively quick and should be performed by a licensed professional to ensure proper technique and minimize risks.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"The_Meaning_Behind_Septum_Piercings_and_Retainers\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Meaning Behind Septum Piercings and Retainers<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While septum piercings have become increasingly popular in recent years, they actually have a rich history in various cultures around the world, including Native American, Mayan, and Indian cultures. Today, septum piercings and retainers can hold personal significance for the wearer, symbolizing individuality, self-expression, or even a rite of passage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In some cases, septum piercings have been associated with alternative sexual subcultures, though this is not universally true. For many, the choice to get a septum piercing is simply about personal aesthetics and the desire to make a unique statement.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Caring_for_Your_Septum_Retainer_Aftercare_Tips\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Caring for Your Septum Retainer: Aftercare Tips<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proper aftercare is essential to maintaining a healthy and problem-free septum piercing.

Your piercer will likely insert an appropriate jewelry piece for the initial healing phase, which typically takes 6-8 weeks (2). Once your septum piercing is fully healed, you can safely change your jewelry to a septum retainer, following your piercer’s recommendations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Q2_How_do_I_clean_my_septum_retainer_properly\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Q2: How do I clean my septum retainer properly?<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To clean your septum retainer, use a saline solution or a specialized piercing aftercare product. Gently clean the retainer and the area around the piercing with a clean, lint-free cloth or a cotton swab soaked in the solution. Avoid using alcohol or hydrogen peroxide, as they can be overly harsh and delay the healing process.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Q3_Can_I_wear_a_septum_retainer_during_sports_or_other_physical_activities\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Q3: Can I wear a septum retainer during sports or other physical activities?<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, you can wear a septum retainer during sports or other physical activities. In fact, one of the benefits of a septum retainer is its discreet design, which makes it less likely to catch or snag during activities. However, be cautious and take extra care to avoid any impact to the nose, which could cause injury or irritation to the piercing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Q4_Are_there_any_materials_I_should_avoid_when_choosing_a_septum_retainer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Q4: Are there any materials I should avoid when choosing a septum retainer?<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It’s essential to select a septum retainer made from hypoallergenic materials to minimize the risk of an allergic reaction. Materials like surgical stainless steel, titanium, and niobium are generally safe options. Avoid jewelry made from low-quality metals or materials that can cause irritation or complications.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Q5_Can_I_get_an_MRI_with_a_septum_retainer_in_place\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Q5: Can I get an MRI with a septum retainer in place?<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It’s generally recommended to remove any metallic body jewelry, including septum retainers, before undergoing an MRI. This is because the magnetic field generated by the MRI machine can cause metallic objects to heat up or move, potentially causing injury. Consult with your healthcare provider beforehand to ensure you follow any necessary guidelines.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Little-Known_Facts_About_Septum_Retainers\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Little-Known Facts About Septum Retainers<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although septum retainers have gained popularity in recent years, they have a long history, with septum piercings dating back to ancient civilizations like the Mayans, Aztecs, and Native American tribes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Glass septum retainers are an alternative option for those with metal allergies or for individuals who need to undergo medical imaging tests like MRIs, where metallic jewelry must be removed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some septum retainers feature a small ball or bead on one end, providing extra security and preventing the retainer from accidentally slipping out of the piercing.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span id=\"References\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">References:<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">APP.
