I am pretty sure the chlorine will clean it for you. Just take a normal shower when finished. Unless you were told not to get it wet you should be fine. You know you just want to show off that belly piercing!

You can't.


Unless you want a nasty infection comin' your way.


How long ago did you get it pierced.


You probably should have included that.
Reply:Your an idiot..it will get infected. You're even supposed to stay away from chlorine for a few weeks if you get your ears pierced. I would wait a month or two.
Reply:chlorine is bad and all you asking for is infection


salt water is better to swim in but i would limit your time in swimming pool
Reply:YOU SHOULDN'T!!! but since you insist you need a non water-permeable wound sealant such as Tegaderm or Clean Seals CLEANING AFTER WON'T HELP
Reply:If you have to go swimming, make sure you rinse it afterwards and then do a salt-water soak... the piercer should have told you this already?!





To do a salt-water soak:


Mix in a glass 1tsp salt with warm water (make sure it all dissolves)


Then carefully, so you don't spill it all over you, lean the glass back over you bellybutton so it forms a seal around it and the water covers your bellybutton - its best to do this where you can lie down as you need to leave it to soak for about 5 - 10 mins.





This works too if your bellybutton is infected, but if you've just had it pierced you should be doing a salt-water soak twice a day to help clean it and to help it heal...I can't believe the piercer never told you about this!
Reply:in the ocean you will be OK cuz of the sea salt but avoid lakes, creeks, and chlorinated pools for at least a month, cuz if you don't the inside skin will start to come out over your ring and look really messed up, or get infected and puss up and if you remove it during this time even to clean it, it won't go back in. my former sister in law is a piercer, she has seen it all when it comes to what not to dos
Reply:Well your piercing might get slightly irritated from the chlorine if youre swimming in a pool.





But as soon as you get out of the water, wash the area with unscented, anti-bacterial soap. Then mix 1/4 teaspoon non-iodized sea salt with 8 oz. distilled water and soak the navel in that for 3-5 minutes. You could also substitute the sea salt soak with H2Ocean spray.
