I've just got my bellybutton pierced, and I was wondering: when, in six weeks, I change the bar I'm currently wearing, should I sterilise the new one?
I would be grateful for any information from those with experience with this. Thank you.

They maximum probable will peierce good above it. I paid approximately $50 dollar to have mine achieved yet that grew to become into approximately 5 years in the past. I reomend using dial cleansing soap and cleansing it two times an afternoon to ward off a an infection. it extremely is straightforward to get a an infection with a abdomen peircing due on your every day sitting status, sweating clothing rubbing it and what not. the least complicated way is to stand interior the showe r and pump the dial good on the tummy button ring and then pass hte ring up and down. infecetions are grose and can be painful so save a eye on it the 1st few weeks and months. additionally ward off swimming pools or lakes till it heals that may take at leat a month. additionally whilst choosing a abdomen ring to apply once you first get it peirced make confident oyu extremely like it because of the fact it iwll be some weeks earlier oyu can replace it out. good success!

My advice? Leave the original barbell in for six months and continue treating it the way the piercer advised, even if it feels healed up.
You should ALWAYS sterilize any jewelry before you put it into your body no matter how old the piercing may be. Navel piercing don't need a lot to become infected, even when they are old.

yes you definitely should sterelize the new one- just in some boiling water with salt. I found salavon spray was amazing when i had my belly button pierced id advise using that on your belly when you take out the piercing stud and while its healing. Also use it on the new bar before you put it in. You should always sterellise a new bar before you put it in even when its completely healed- i always do this and have never had problems and ive had my belly button pierced for 7 years now. Make sure you sterillise the area with salt water or something like savalon spray every day while its healing so you dont get any nasty problems. Good luck & take care x

Always sterilize any bars/jewerly you want to put in, this cuts down on the bacteria, etc. that is present. My recommendation (takes 30 secs): take a q-tip, dip it in rubbing alcohol, and rub the q-tip along the post of your jewelry.

If all goes well, it should be healed by that time so as long as the bar is clean that should be fine. When I got mine done (about 10 years ago) jeans were not low cut like they are now so I can remember my jeans pulling and tugging on the piercing....OUCH! It took forever to heal for this reason! It finally did, and I still wear jewelry in it even if I'm old. :)

use an antibacterial soap for your belly, and use betadine, or something like that to steralize it. i would go back to the guy who pierced it, like the other person said, have it changed for you and let them give their recommedations on changing etc.
had mine done 8 yrs ago. still love it! took forever to heal and i had to use betadine for it, wore an apron for work and kept catching on it. ouch! beware of infection! also, to help it heal, my tattoo guy told me to use SEA salt on it, just get a small CLEAN cup and warm water adn just a bit of the sea salt and let it soak on there for a while. clean the edges with some of the sal t and water on a q-tip.

Just put the new one in some salty boiling water for a couple of mins and it'll be fine.
I have a five millimetre thick, twenty millimetre diameter, ultra-violet glow ring in my bellybutton.
A bit wacky I know, but it looks cool.

Yes, you should.
Although, you should leave it longer than 6 weeks before you change it.
