i know you could just use dial soap and warm water if you wanted to, but you're not supposed to use hydrogen peroxide

I always use peroxide. But before I put them in I put neosporin on the post or wires. It works pretty good.

you're not supposed to use peroxide for piercings, it will just irritate the skin more.

Peroxide eats at the germs but also at your flesh. Alcohol has worked for everyone I know that has used it.

why would any guy want to stick things into his daughters ears??? She was obviously growing up naturally beautiful till you came along. Why dont you stick something between your ears? Theres obviously nothing there right now?
hey now before we get into a big fight you must understand i did not do it to her my x wife did so you might want to think about what you say their pal

the yellow liquid Dial antibacterial soap is the best it's what most professional body piercing (not just ears but the other parts as well) recommend, clean in the morning, dab a little neosporin on the earring before putting it. She may be allergic to the metal as well, so you may try the hypoallergenic steel, or pure gold or silver, see which one causes the least irratation.

Some cannot tolerate metals other then silver or gold even if they are hypoallergenic, something else to consider.

shoot that reminds me..
my daughter stuck her upper lobe..
(cuz the mall doesnt do UPPER lobe piercings)
gotta go to a body piercing place..

without numbing it or anything.. (SHES 12)

and actually it got red and infectd for awile but stayed in..

she used the ear piercing stuff to clean it..like 5 times a day.
they have it at the ear piercing places
