Can you change earrings before 6 weeks?

Of course you can. I changed my first ones after 13 days.

All you need is a good astringent and cotton buds.

First of all, I poured a little distilled witch hazel into a small bowl (this is the astringent I used). I then soaked the earrings I wanted to change to in the witch hazel while I swabbed the front and pack of my current earrings with it.

Then I took the earrings I had in out, swabbed the back and front of the exposed holes in witch hazel and slipped the new ones that had been soaking in. It's a good method because I then know a little amount of the astringent is getting into the hole and helping to keep it clean.

DO NOT use saline solution to clean your piercings or earrings with! It is NOT anti-bacterial and it WILL NOT CLEAN ANYTHING. Sea salts are good for helping to heal, but they are not anti-bacterial either. Don't use normal table salt either as this contains iodine that WILL NOT help the healing process.
