    What did your piercer recommend?

    For mine, I did them twice a day and I started the day after I was pierced.

    Lobes: 5/8" lobes x2; 2g x1 (2nd hole); 4g x1 (3rd hole). 10g septum. 8g tongue. 12g nipple. 16g eyebrow. 2.5 year old dreads. Sternum microdermal (rejected).

    i fill a small bowl and put it on top of a plate, then soak on the table. works the best for me.

    I use a shot glass for my SSS.  Seems to work okay for me.

    Put it in a deep bowl with a wide mouth and then I stick my whole nose in there and blow bubbles. Gets all the nasty crusties out really well!

    Oh...no worries.  I don't have mine pierced, so I can't help...based on your post about how bad it hurt when you got it pierced, I'd say, it'll probably pretty sore for a while.  But I don't know...

    I used the LITHA method on mine, just kept it flipped up where I wouldn't touch it for about a year.  That and cleaning out boogers with q-tips in the shower Stick out tongue cuz NOTHING hurts worse than dragging crusty boogers into a fresh septum piercing.

    It kept hurting for a few months, but I'm clumsy and bump my face on stuff a lot Wink

    Edit: whoops, sorry for bumping the old thread!

    0g lobes, 3 navels and tongue!
