Sea salt soak?

Hope this is the right spot to post this.

How do I go about doing a sea salt soak?

I usually just take my plugs out, clean them and my ears with antibacterial soap. Then massage with Holy Butt’r.

Re: Sea salt soak?

Sea salt soaks are really only necessary if you have some type of open wound in your lobes, like a tear. They're usually just used for new piercings, not stretches. Sea salt soaks are done by mixing no more than 1/4 teaspoon pure sea salt in one cup of hot water, and soaking your piercing in the solution for 5-10 minutes.

If your lobes are well-behaved and you've been stretching slowly and carefully, soap and water should be fine for cleaning your plugs and ears.
I'm Lindsay.
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!
