According to the QOD archives (http://iam.bmezine.com/qod4.exe?) at BME, the only thing you really should do is be gentle and use protection during the healing process of a genital piercing (to prevent bacteria from getting into the open wound), and to be sure that it's pierced at a large enough gauge that it won't rip (they take a lot more "abuse" than other piercings).
None of the piercers I've known have ever recommended that someone abstain for six months, considering that genitals heal more quickly than most of the rest of the body. The longest I've EVER seen any piercer recommend is 4-8 weeks (and here's a professional piercer over at BME saying the same thing (http://iam.bmezine.com/qod4.exe?cmd=entry&tprm=386), if you want a reference).
As for what feels good, it all depends on your body. There's no harm in trying it and seeing how it works. After all, if it's too uncomfortable it can always be removed...personally, I love the way an apadravya feels more than any other kind of below the belt piercing, but I also know women who hate them.
