Parylene coating is a process widely used in the medical industry to provide silicone with a low-friction surface. This means that instead of a rubbery surface, the jewelry now has a smooth, almost slippery finish. This coating has been found to effectively eliminate mechanically induced sensitivities related to the sticky surface texture of uncoated silicone body jewelry. The coating also makes the silicone slightly firmer, which helps with insertion.

Ideal for fresher piercings that need to be temporarily hidden (work, school, job application, etc.) or when metal is not allowed.
