how about, you take two seconds to use the SEARCH fuction on the top menu bar and type in PIERCINGS and see what comes up.
theres a good chance someone has already asked your question.

very true allison.. :)

I've had mine done for about five years now. And no infections to date! All I did was clean it once a day with anti-bacterial soap and ear piercing solution for maybe a month or so.

^ ear cleaning solution...
hmm i dont think thats ment for your belly button piercing.

also epsom salt works for sum..not me though.. didnt do nothing for my piercings

follow the care instructions you got with it, which should say something to the effect of: wet a q-tip with warmish water to remove all "crusties", then suds up with antibacterial soap, then rinse with bactine solution (available from drugstore). After youve gone thru the 4-6 weeks of "healing" (please note navel piercings take much longer than that for most), then treat any flare-ups by going back to clenaing routine, and perhaps give contact solution a try if it seems too irritated by bactine. My mum uses it on her navel when it acts up (And I've used it on just about every other piercing I have).

Dragon Mist is a wonderful all natural product


It works great even on the most sensitive of areas trust me on this

i have the bottom of my navel peirced. worst pain ever.. since the braod couldnt get the needle thru.

anyways....

i jsut let it heal by its self.
like any other cut you get.

turned out fine.

tho I did take the jewellery out and clean it.

buy this moisturising solution called "satin", usually you can get it at a professional piercers it's very good at cleaning your piercing and not as drying or harsh as bactine or other anti-bacterial solutions. i beleive they even use it in hospitals. that's what i've used on all my piercings and i haven't had a problem with any. except two that got ripped out in a mosh pit...but that's not due to cleaning problems.

and hopefully they put in a CBR ring when they pierced you because they are much easier to care for than barbells, and heal faster.

hopefully you don't sleep on your stomach because...well...good luck with that

People still get their belly bottons pierced?

Try H2Ocean...AMAZING stuff. You can find it at Body Mods kiosks in the mall and some piercing places.

yeah but it's quite possible that since those posts have been made that there have been new members to join the board, with new and possibly different advice.

HAHAHAHA best thing I have heard all night I thankyou for this

[gratia]

i am curious, where did you get it done?


ps. sea salt is the shit. mix a bit with some warm water and soak it every night before bed..............and like janette(sorry if i spelled that wrong) said.....it will heal itself....sea salt speeds the process. but it can also dry it out too much.....so be cautious ;)

sea salt does do wonders!....make sure you don't use regular table salt tho, cause it's deffinately not the same as it will burn like hell and hurt your piercing

^^^^ it's a true story ;)
