How do you do your cleaning routine?

I'm curious as to how everyone cleans their mods every day. (:

+1 to this. Fragrance and dye free, hypo-allergenic lotion afterward (even my septum)

I wash my lobes in the shower with hot water, and then I massage them with vit e oil every night before bed.

Now that I've just stretched to a 00g about a week ago, I leave my plugs in and use dial soap in the shower. I will start massages next week. But before that stretch, when my 0g's were good and healed, I would Dial soap em up in the shower and do Holey Butt'r massages afterwards without plugs.

I remove plugs in the shower , wash with soap and water . get out dry ears and oil massage , lube plugs then re insert them and blot off the extra oil .. every day .. directly after a fresh stretch I do seas salt soaks once a day for 3 - 5 days although its not really needed because I wait so long between stretches I dont have any open skin the sea salt in that case is just a precaution

Re: How do you do your cleaning routine?

For my lobes, just soap and water in the shower. Occasionally I'll oil them a bit but since I'm not stretching any bigger (for now anyway) I don't really bother with oil massages. I'm lazy.

For my other piercings... I don't really clean the jewelry in my ear piercings, sometimes I'll wipe away the crusties. And every piercing in my nose is fully healed so I take those out and wash them at the sink when they start to smell, haha.

I have 1/2" lobes and 11 piercings: left helix x2, both conches, both nostrils, septum, navel, and VCH.
My lobes are small but I know a lot about stretching and how to do it safely, so message me if you have any questions!

Re: How do you do your cleaning routine?

@Corazon - septum funk... Sometimes it's a comforting smell and sometimes it smells like rot. Lol I wear an earskin most of the time now and the funk is practically non-existent. Depending in the gauge of your piercing, you might be able to do the same. I don't know if that's even interesting to you.

For the record, I still was my septum daily in the shower anyway. Lol

Re: How do you do your cleaning routine?

It's weird because my septum really doesn't get smelly at all, it's just my nostrils! It's pretty gross. And my nostrils are only 18G, my septum's only 14G. So it's not from stretching or anything. I guess it's just dead skin cells.

Yeah, that is weird. At 14g my septum got really funky, but even without my bearskin, the funk is far better at 10g. A friend of mine says her nostril piercing gets funky if she bumps it. Ah piercings... How different they are from one person to the next.
