Exploring Apadravya Piercings: A Comprehensive Guide

The Apadravya piercing is an intimate piercing that goes through the head of the penis. Unlike the Ampallang, the Apadravya is placed vertically.

It's considered one of the more painful intimate piercings. But don’t be scared off: while it may hurt a little to get it done, the pleasure for both you and your partner is easily worth it.

How do I get an Apadravya done?

An Apadravya is typically made with a 1,6 mm to 2,0 mm needle. Naturally, only get pierced by a professional, experienced piercer.

A long straight piercing barbell with a ball at each end is inserted. The length of the barbell varies from person to person, depending on the size of the erect penis. Initially, many people use a slightly longer barbell to allow for swelling during healing.

If you already have a Prince Albert piercing, you can easily have this converted into an Apadravya, as it already goes halfway through the head of the penis.

What if I’m circumcised?

Before you get an Apadravya, you should know that it’s an advantage if you are circumcised. If not, you and your piercer must be careful when choosing the size of the jewelry balls. That’s because it might be problematic for the foreskin not to reach beyond the jewelry.

How does my Apadravya affect intercourse?

The Apadravya is so old that it is mentioned in the original Kama Sutra scriptures.

Be careful in the period after an Apadravya is made, as having sexual intercourse can be a very painful experience while it’s healing. Just keep it quiet until you feel ready.

Throughout the healing period, which is typically at least three months, you should use a condom. Your intimate piercing will be exposed to less friction and irritation. Besides, foreign bodily fluids in a new piercing are never a good idea.

How should I take care of intimate piercings?

Your new Apadravya needs to be taken care of like any other intimate piercing. That is.

You should clean it at least twice a day and always follow your piercer's advice and guidance carefully.
