ear piercing

After getting your ears pierced, wait at least a few weeks before swimming to let initial healing take place. Before entering water, clean your piercings with saline and dry them well.

Use waterproof ear covers or silicone plugs to protect against bacteria and chlorine. Avoid diving or full submersion to reduce irritation.

After swimming, rinse gently with saline and pat dry. If you want to avoid infections and speed healing, following these steps carefully is key, and there’s more you can do to keep your piercings safe.
