    You shouldn't be turning them :/ it makes infections more likely.

    Clean with 9% saline solution and disposable tissues or cotton pads. Soak them for 30-60 seconds a couple of times a day, if possible. I found that wound spray was helpful. Dry with disposables again.

    Where did you get them done that they gave you such out of date, bad aftercare info:/

    Yes, it's normal for them to hurt, when I first got my piercings it hurt for a couple of days after aswell. I think it depends on how sensitive your skin is, and how your body reacts to foreign objects.
    I wouldn't be worried about infection unless you see any obvious signals. Wish you the best, Ivan.

    Put rubbing alcohol on your ears and earrings.

      Lol butt plugs are similar to earrings? They require blunt force trauma or needles pushed thru skin for insertion? Youre doing it wrong.

        Not similar in THAT way, but its a foreign implement into a human orface. And its the closest thing to ear piercings that I have experience with, so I'm just trying my best to relate.

          If you are piercing your skin with butt plugs, you're doing it wrong.

            I know. And I have cut my anal lining with them before. Don't remind me! But I think I have it figured out now.
