For piercings to heal it is important that the area remains clean, dry, and away from areas that may transfer bacteria. We recommend avoiding swimming for the first two weeks after a new piercing. If you must go swimming, we suggest covering your new piercing with a waterproof band-aid (be mindful of your jewellery!). We also recommend that you spray the piercing with Sterilear Step 1: Clean after leaving the water and removing the band-aid.
