Nose Screw Fit & Insertion Guide

Sizing is familiar territory. 20G for most noses, 18G for thicker piercings, with wearable lengths of 1/4" (6mm) and 5/16" (8mm). One naming note. A "twister" is the same corkscrew family, and our Micro Twister series is the best-selling example, so screw, twister and corkscrew all mean this page.

The insertion secret that makes converts is to follow the spiral and never push straight. Tip the end into the piercing, then rotate the jewelry along its own curve. It feeds itself through and seats with the curl resting flat inside. One practice run in the mirror and you'll see why screw loyalists don't wear anything else.
