Can anyone tell me if the saline solution you can buy to clean contact lenses in pharmacies is suitable for cleaning the outside of an oral piercing? It's the only pre-mixed saline solution I've been able to find.

This is ok to use but the best thing for a piercing is ROCK SALT, you cant beat it, dissolve some in boiling hot water wait for it to cool then dip a cotton pad in the water, place it on the piercing and leave it there for a couple of minutes without touching it, allowing the skin to soak up the salted water.

Saline solution will work fine, however Listerine mouthwash has antiseptic properties that will clean AND may even help numb the area.

Yes it is suitable.My husband has contact lenses,and we have used the Saline solutions on many different things.I have my navel pierced,and so has my 13 year old daughter.It's perfectly safe.
I have my tongue pierced too.
I have even used it in my eye and that was safe too.

Boil some water and add a pinch of salt, wait for it to cool (keep it covered whilst it is doing so. That works just as well.

as much as i admire physique mods, there's a line and this "piercing" crosses it. that's strategies sugery. you're drilling a hollow on your head, exposing your strategies to the exterior worldwide and all infections that comprise it. that's in simple terms soliciting for Menengitis and different infections.

It will work just fine but boiled and cooled salt water (home brew) will work just as well and save you the expense.
