I got mine a week ago after valentines day I forgot to clean it but I did now I got my second piercing and cartilage a wal-mart the about a week ago and like they gave me two little boxes that says E•A•R Piercing Kit I used it twice for both piercings it says it's for newly pierced ears am I doing right I use a qtip and cotton ball.

@SliverRose1 I prefer using my own solution, but it should be alright. Try to avoid using cotton balls, the have a tendency of loosing fluff which could potentially get caught in the new piercing

How long do you soak it for?

[Caillou1231]

@CupcakeStefy About 10-15 minutes

i've got my helix pierced about 2 months ago and i went back to the store to put a new piercing in it, but now it kinda hurts and when i lay down on it it hurts, but i don't think it's infected or anything, is that normal?

@Kimberley255 Until a piercing is truly and fully healed, it will hurt a bit when you change the jewelry. It is normal, just continue to look after it, and it will get better the longer you have it.

@Caillou1231 ok thank you

@skatefreek97 Table salt is iodized. Iodine = bad for piercings.

whats the harm using table salt?

[Caillou1231]

@hnakmk Any grocery store should have it. Just make sure it is sea salt, and not table salt.
