L-Bend Nose Jewellery at SkinKandy

L-bend nose jewellery at SkinKandy is nostril piercing jewellery with a simple bent post that sits at an angle inside the nose, in Titanium, Surgical Steel and Gold. It's fitted at 18G or 20G, the standard gauges for a nostril piercing, and suits anyone who wants an easy-to-insert, easy-to-remove nose stud. L-bends are a popular choice for people who like to change their own jewellery once healed, since the bent post slides in and out without the twisting motion needed for a nose twist. Whether you're fresh from your piercing appointment or restyling a healed nostril, we've got the fit sorted.

Who is L-bend nose jewellery suited to?

L-bend nose jewellery suits anyone with a nostril piercing who wants a simple, secure stud that's easy to insert and remove once healed. The bent post sits at an angle just inside the nostril, holding the stud in place without a twisting motion or a clasp on the outside. It's a popular choice for people who like to manage their own jewellery changes, since it's more straightforward to handle than a nose twist. Our piercing specialists can show you how to insert and remove an L-bend safely once your piercing has healed.

What gauge is L-bend nose jewellery?

L-bend nose jewellery is fitted at 18G or 20G, the standard gauges for nostril piercings. The bend itself is sized to your nostril during your piercing appointment, so it's not something to guess when buying jewellery online. A bend that's too small can pull uncomfortably, while one that's too large may not sit securely. Our piercing specialists measure and fit your L-bend in studio to make sure it sits comfortably.

What materials are L-bend nose studs available in?

L-bend nose jewellery at SkinKandy is available in Titanium, Surgical Steel and Gold. Surgical Steel is used for fresh piercings in studio, though it contains trace nickel, so Titanium or Gold are better choices for sensitive skin. Titanium is our go-to recommendation while your nostril piercing heals, since it's lightweight and gentle on the placement. Gold L-bends are a popular upgrade once your piercing is fully healed.

L-bend vs nose twist, which should I choose?

An L-bend has a simple bent post that sits at an angle inside the nostril, while a nose twist has a corkscrew-shaped post that twists into place. L-bends are quicker and easier to insert and remove yourself, which makes them a popular choice once you're comfortable managing your own jewellery, while nose twists tend to feel more secure since the twist resists pulling out by accident. Both are fitted at 18G or 20G, so the choice comes down to how confident you feel handling your own nose jewellery. Our piercing specialists can talk you through both styles in studio.

How do I care for a fresh nostril piercing with L-bend jewellery?

Clean your nostril piercing as directed by your piercing specialists, and don't remove your jewellery during the healing phase, since this can affect how well the piercing settles. Nostril piercings generally take a few months to heal, so stick to your aftercare routine even once the area starts to feel normal. Avoid twisting or fidgeting with the L-bend more than necessary while it's healing. For full guidance, our aftercare page covers cleaning and healing in detail.
