Briana Williams Septum Retainer 14G & 16G Clear Bioflex Septum Rings Flexible Piercing Retainer with 316L Stainless Steel

1. Do NOT try to use this before your piercing is healed adequately. I tried to use at seven weeks post piercing, and it did not work. It hurt to high heaven, and I think my septum was still swollen. Lost faith in this product, but decided to try it again after another six weeks. 2. Is 100% secure. Very small and discreet. I have large nostril Openings and you can see inside my nose pretty well. This little gem is not visible unless somebody is purposely looking up inside my nose. It stays completely hidden as long as the tabs are pointed upward. Even if the tabs move, nobody has ever noticed it. 3. This piece is extremely comfortable! A little difficult to get in because it’s small and has 90° bends but is absolutely great! 4. One photo is a full picture of my face, not trying to hide the piercing, but you can’t see it. Another photo is a close-up of my nose where the piercing is. I found this to be a photo I was looking for when I was trying to find, but could not find any photos like this. Another photo is of my nose with the clear retainer Pointing downward. Showing that even if it is peeking out, you can barely notice it. I even went to military drill with it in all weekend and nobody said a word.

I got these septum retainers so that I can easily switch between professional and personal styles. These septum retainers are very small, which made them difficult to put in by hand. I used a set of tweezers to make guiding them in my septum hole a bit easier, and it worked like a charm. It looks like I don't have any sort of piercing in! These retainers are discrete and flexible.

The clear retainers in this pack are pretty flexible, so they are easier to get in your septum than I originally thought they would be. The only thing is that because the "arms" of the staple-shape are so short, I have to use a pair of thin pliers to hold one end while I insert it because my fingers get in the way. It actually does hurt to insert and remove because of the 90 degree angle that has to pass through your piercing, but after a few times it doesn't hurt as bad, and it will probably feel better after another few months of letting the piercing heal (my piercing is only 2 months old). Some reviewers have said that because the arms are so short, the retainer actually falls out. I have NOT had this problem and don't think I will. The width of the retainer is so small on my nose that it hugs my septum perfectly, and there is virtually no movement of the retainer when I'm wearing it. I was pierced pretty low, and even then, the retainer does not stick out of my nose when the arms are pointed down. I keep the arms pointed up because it is more comfortable, and they do not "fall" or flip down during the day. These retainers are quite sturdy and comfortable to wear once you get them in. I purchased the pack that is all clear 16g retainers because I knew the metal ones would not work for me. I was pierced with a large silver horseshoe, but when I flipped it up inside my nose, you could sometimes catch a glimpse of it in one side of my nose because of my deviated septum. I was worried that people might think I just always had boogers in my nose if they saw it on accident, so I knew I needed a clear retainer that I could wear to work instead of flipping up my horseshoe. These are definitely the answer to my problems.

Fall off kinda easily wtv, kinda wish the metal ones were a bit thicker. I also needed to like sand down the plastic ones bc they had a sharp part on the end from the manufacturing, but they still worked better than the metal ones

Love these retainers for my septum! The set has a bunch in it, and they’re super comfortable to wear—even while sleeping. Easy to put in, don’t irritate my septum, and they haven’t tarnished lol. Definitely worth it for the price!

These are tiny. Definitely not 16G as it claims.

I loved the idea of these retainers. They are very short which makes them a little tricky to put in, but not impossible. They are easy to hide wearing them flipped up or down. My biggest issue is that they kept falling out. I don't think I'd buy them again because of this.

I want to start off by saying that any reviews where they can't get it in your septum or it "hurts" to put it in then your piercing isn't healed or is crooked. I've had my septum pierced for 7 years and this went in like any normal bar style piece. It took me roughly 30s to put in. I will admit, it is small BUT this is perfect since it's meant to be hidden and the only way to see it is if someone is looking directly up your nose... which would be weird so yeah. Anyways, I got this for the military as my septum is the one piercing I didn't want to let close up. I can't feel it in my nose, it doesn't itch or poke me, and is completely invisible even with the bars down. I wiped my nose a few times and it didn't out or hurt. It comes in a clear baggie with a firm fabric carrying pouch.
