Herein, what is a glass retainer?
Glass retainers are a great, temporary solution when you’re looking for something more discreet, or when metal jewelry can’t be worn. Each Gorilla Glass straight retainer is made from clear borosilicate glass and consists of a glass post with a flat disk on one end and a removable o-ring on the other.
They’re usually clear or nude coloured and work especially well in smaller gauge piercings. Your lip ring or nose stud will blend seamlessly into your skin before you know it!
Similarly, are piercing retainers noticeable?
Retainers tend to have the clear ball on each end which is actually pretty visible. Ear sticks are basically transparent sticks. If you cut them real short about 1cm or depending on the thickness of your earlobe, just enough to stick out enough that you can still feel it, it’s pretty much invisible.
