Answer #1

I had mine done about two years ago and I used savalon & when I had a bath they told me to put some salt in the water.. so do they.. and now two year later mine is perfectly fine :) x

Answer #2

I was told that if you use the sea salt to mix it according to the piercing parlors instructions in a CLEAN Dixie cup. I would lay down on the floor and cover the piercing completely with the cup to allow the sea salt to really get into the piercing. I also used ONLY Dial antibacterial soap…It’s the best!

Answer #3

I don’t suggest doing that if it was not reccomended. Don’t listen to anybody besides the person who pierced you becuse professionally, they know what they’re doing. I got mine pierced two months ago and I use antibacterial soap twice a day and clean it with bactine twice a day. That’s what I was reccomended to do, but I suggest talking to the place where you got your piercing first.
