hollister_lover09 answered Saturday July 7 2007, 7:51 pm: you can swim. i have mine done twice. just dont go swimming in a lake or river. mine got infected by simming in a lake. make sure you clean it only 3 times a day. dont touch it more then you should, and make sure you twist the ring when cleaning it. dont use rubbing alcohol!!

Mine has been in for maybe a month and a few weeks and ive already taken it out, switched it, swam, done evrything and its fine. [ bLue_in_tHe_faCe's advice column | Ask bLue_in_tHe_faCe A Question ]
