Proper Care of Pierced Ears.
So I pierced my ear lobes, and it healed as expected after whatever the suggested time was.
But how long can I leave in the same pair of earrings?
If I want to wear the same pair of earrings day after day, is there anything I should know? Do I still need to spin them or clean them, or?
Any tips or precautions I should take?
I am new at this earring thing, so anything would be nice. THANKS!!

When I got my ears pierced, the guy told me to keep them in for 6 months [so they can heal] & not to change the earrings until the 6 months was up. Once they were up, I could change my earrings whenever I wanted, & could not even put any earrings in at all. But I always kept them in my ears just in case [I suffer from paranoia, and I thought they'd close on me]. Haha. If you wanna wear the same pair of earrings day after day, just make sure you clean them like the person who did them told you to. If you did them yourself, just clean them like you normally would. =) If you take care of them, everything should be fine.

Once they're healed, there shouldn't be much of a problem with the amount of time you leave earrings in for.
Sometimes they do get a bit sticky or crusty if they've been in for a while so spinning them every couple of days and cleaning them once a week will help. To clean them just use cotton wool or a cotton bud to wipe them over with either the solution you should have been given when they were pierced or a homemade salt water solution.
Also, when swapping over earrings, it won't hurt to clean the ones you put in first so you make sure you're not allowing bacteria in.
