Cathleen answered Tuesday January 30 2007, 2:54 am: another thing to clean it with which really helps and heals it fast is sea salt. you can buy it in a grocery store. yeah i know it sounds weird but thats what i used.

What i also did was soak my belly button in saltwater for 20 minutes a day, i've had mine for 4 years now and its never been infected, just make sure to clean it with the saline at least twice a day. hope i helped. -Angel [ Anq3L_xO's advice column | Ask Anq3L_xO A Question ]
LaceyIsPrettyBomb answered Monday January 29 2007, 4:35 pm: a good way to do it is to lay down on your bed or something like that, and completely saturate a Q-tip with the saline solution, then move the ring or barbell, whichever you have, around, and clean around both sides all the way around. you can go around the ends in circles a few times.using a Q-tip works best because the end is small enough to move around both ends of your piercing easily. cotton balls work also, but with a cotton ball, you might not get down into the holes. you can also pour the saline directly around the holes and let it sit for a while to get it really clean. good luck!

sneevley answered Monday January 29 2007, 4:27 pm: In my opinion, Hydrogen Peroxide works pretty good with preventing infections. It stings a little bit on a open cut or something, but it will keep the hole really clean, with a low risk of infections. also, you should probably soak the ring in the stuff before putting it in, that'll also help with keeping it clean. You can get it at pretty much every drug store, like CVS or Rite Aid, and I know we got ours at Target. [ sneevley's advice column | Ask sneevley A Question ]
