Hi, I’m Emma – and yes, I’m obsessed with ear piercings just like you.
A few years ago, I got my helix pierced. I was so excited… until bedtime. That first night was awful. I couldn’t sleep on my favorite side, and when I accidentally rolled over, the pain woke me up instantly. I tried using a travel pillow, folding my regular pillow, even stuffing a towel under my head. Nothing worked.
After weeks of restless nights and a frustrated piercing that wouldn’t heal, I thought: “There has to be a better solution.”
I searched everywhere for a pillow specifically made for ear piercings. Sure, there were a few options, but they were either too expensive, too firm, or the hole was way too small. I wanted something affordable, comfortable, and actually designed for people like us who refuse to give up side sleeping.
So I decided to make it myself.
I spent months working with manufacturers, testing different materials and hole sizes. I slept on dozens of prototypes (yes, my partner thought I was crazy). Finally, I created the perfect piercing pillow – one I actually wanted to use every single night.
That’s how My Piercing Pillow was born.
Now, I’m on a mission to help fellow piercing lovers get the restful sleep they deserve while their piercings heal properly. Because you shouldn’t have to choose between your favorite sleeping position and healthy healing.
Sweet dreams,
Emma
