When is it okay to start moving a belly bar up and down?
So i got my belly pierced yesterday. It doesnt really hurt at all, unless I touch it, clean it, or bend over (I have a bit of tummy fat that sort of squishes the piercing.) So i have a few questions:
1. When should I start moving the bar up and down so it doesn't get 'stuck?'
2. Is it normal for it sting when I clean it? (Probably a silly question) I'm using an ear piercing antiseptic spray and an iodized sea salt solution i made up, and putting them both seperately on a ear bud.
3. When will the pain/discomfort wear off? I'm currently making my mum pick stuff up i drop and that sort of thing, so it would be nice to be more self efficient soon. :p
4. Sea salt soaks - Good, or bad? I've heard the salt can dry up the skin, so I'm a bit unsure about soaking it or not.
Any help is much appreciated, thanks a lot! [:

1. It's not going to get stuck. Moving it up and down drags in bacteria and crust and tears up the fistula that is trying to heal. Don't move it up and down.
2. Antiseptic is bad for piercings and you should be soak the piercing with a non-iodized sea salt soak with 1/4th of a teaspoon of it to 8oz of hot water. Soak it twice a day for 5-10 minutes each soak.
3. Varies from person to person
4. If you're using the right sea salt, it's the best way to clean your piercing.
