Really the best thing to use is NON SCENTED soap an warm water twice a day. I have never used anything else an have never had any problems an im about to goto a 00g.

Soap can really just dry out your lobes and it won't do anything for the actual healing process. It will kill bacteria but that's about it; sea salt soaks are best because salt is in your body and the heat encourages blood flow to the area.
As for jojoba oil vs. Holey Butt'r, just use whatever you want. The actual massaging is more important than what you're using on them. Vitamin E oil, emu oil, bio oil, and Naked oil (vegan alternative to emu) are all okay too.

Pure sea salt is the best thing to use because it has no additives, it's just pure salt like your body has. Just make sure you're not using too much in your soaks (1/4 teaspoon per one cup of water at the most) or it'll do more harm than good.

Also, you don't really have to do sea salt soaks unless you tore your ears. Stretching shouldn't really cause any open wounds that have to heal; soaking is more for new piercings. And make sure you're not massaging your lobes or using oil on them if they're sore/irritated.

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: Which is better?

Soap and water is the best thing for any cut or piercing on your body, Soap an salt both will dry out your skin if you use to much of it. A cut or piercing are both the same thing all you have to do is keep it clean with soap an water an wait for your body to heal itself. I've been getting pierced for almost 20 years i know what im talking about.
