If you’ve ever tried sleeping on a fresh ear piercing, you know the pain and consequences. One wrong toss-and-turn and you’re waking up with a swollen ear, a wonky piercing, and a healthy dose of regret.

Sound familiar? Then it’s time we introduced you to the hottest hero of the healing game: the piercing pillow. It’s the realest hack we preach about nonstop in the D&J HUB, as many of you will know and for good reason. These babies protect your piercings, prevent them from healing at wonky angles, and stop that nasty pressure-induced irritation that will only prolong healing!

And guess what? We just dropped our own line of piercing pillows in-store, and they’re launching online on 30th May 2025. Cute, cozy, and way too stylish to be basic, your healing just got a major upgrade.

Why Sleeping on Fresh Piercings is a Big No-No

The Struggle Is Too Real

Cartilage, conch, helix, tragus, whatever you’ve got, fresh piercings and pillows don’t exactly mix. Regular pillows press against your jewelry while you sleep, and that pressure? It’s not your friend.

Think:

• Soreness 

• Piercings healing at wonky angles

• Swelling and pesky piercing bumps

• Extra time added to the healing process (ugh)

Sleeping wrong on a piercing can undo a whole lot of good healing. But don’t panic, there’s a fix.

What Even Is a Piercing Pillow?

It’s like a tiny donut for your ear with big benefits.

A piercing pillow is a small cushion with a hole in the center for your ear to float while you sleep. It keeps pressure off your piercing and helps your jewellery stay aligned exactly how your piercer intended. 

Why Everyone in the D&J HUB Swears By It

We’re obsessed with good piercing care at the D&J HUB. We talk about it constantly. And if there’s one thing we’re always recommending? A piercing pillow.

Here’s why it’s our go-to healing hack:

• Prevents angled healing: No more wonky piercings.

• Fights off irritation: Reduces friction, rubbing, and pressure bumps.

• Soothes while you snooze: You can actually sleep on your side again without any pain!

• Looks super cute: Ours aren’t boring or clinical. They’re pretty, plush, and proudly displayable.

Whether it’s your first piercing or your fifth, a piercing pillow is seriously the best sidekick.

Let’s Talk About Our Piercing Pillows

We couldn’t just preach about them, we had to stock them. Our brand-new D&J piercing pillows are everything we wanted and couldn’t find:

• Soft and breathable – because healing ears deserve luxury

• Machine washable – because hygiene is the vibe, just unzip the outer fabric

• Cute Frills & Colours – so your healing setup looks as good as your piercings

• Perfectly compact – easy to toss in your bag for travel or throw on your bed

How to Use It (aka Get the Most from Your Pillow)

1. Pop your new pillow on top of your normal one (or use it solo).

2. Rest your head so your ear fits through the hole.

3. Enjoy pain-free, angle-proof sleep.

4. Wash regularly to keep it fresh (because clean = happy piercing).
