I like these so much I keep buying them.

I think this product might work better for people with thick skin. I have very thin skin, this silicone is as rubbery as my skin, so it just slips around the piercing hole instead of actually going into it. It is incredibly frustrating to put in, even with following the directions to a T. If it takes me .2 seconds to install other jewelry, but this piece takes me 5 minutes to insert, I'm not really seeing the value here... The wearable area is also quite small. I ordered two pieces of jewelry, both at 1/4" and the Kaos silicone is very small in comparison to the other 1/4" pieces of jewelry I purchased in this same order. In terms of retainers meant to hide a piercing, this is the best you are going to get which is why I've still rated it at a 3/5. If you are thin skinned and very pale like I am, this piece is still going to be very, *very* noticeable. Unfortunately, this piece of jewelry isn't a magic solution to hide a piercing, the only real option is to take it out entirely.

Such a great retainer to wear in my philtrum piercing for trips to the dentist.

Difficult to install, almost too easy to remove

Love these; they're perfect for hiding lip piercings from family and nosy coworkers.
