Sorry to bug everyone again, but is it okay to use tcp to clean my ears? -diluted- just until I can get some more salt?

I'm not sure what that is, but to be honest if you stretch properly you shouldn't have to "clean" them like a fresh piercing since there will be no open wounds. If you have an open wound though, sea salt soaks are the best. Or just leave them alone and spray them with hot water in the shower.

Yeah, I google searched tcp and couldn't find anything relating to a cleanser... what is it? I would stick with sea salt or anti-bacterial (Dial) soap. Sea salt is (obviously) organic so there's nothing in there that could hurt the body. Unless you are making too strong of a mixture, then they will get irritated.

It's basically liquid antiseptic. Fights against infection, and can be used for sore throats, cuts, grazes, stings, new peircings, spots, infected cuts/blisters ect.

If you are diluting it, it should be okay to use... it sounds like it could be harsh otherwise.
Sorry I have been away for a while. Got bit by a black widow so I have been on a lot of muscle and pain medication.

It sounds a lot like Bactine, and the company even tells you not to use it on piercings, so I'd say no. Piercings heal a lot differently than cuts and stuff like that.
Anyway, for me, piercing aftercare has always been more about promoting faster healing than "cleaning" or fighting infection. Infections are pretty rare in piercings (most people mistake irritation for infection) and killing bad bacteria can kill good bacteria as well. So the best thing to do are sea salt soaks in my opinion.

Holy crap.... Okay, so if any of my posts from here on out end with "I have been on a lot of pain medication" please ignore whatever the hell I have said! I don't remember posting that!!!
