You can just use antibacterial soap if it's easier for you; otherwise, measure a quarter tbsp. of sea salt & pour one 8 oz. glass of warm water & clean your piercing with that.
It needs to be said that "sea salt saline" is not in any way a "cleanser", and if made and used in the above method will actually burn the piercing and do nothing for aiding in the cleaning.
Common Sense seems to go out the door when folks get piercings, they don't stop to question "why" they are instructed to do "something" with the piercing.
If you cut yourself, are you ging to be dorking around with it every day soaking it in salt water? Ahh..... No chances are high that you will simply wash the cut, dry it, then put a band-aid on it. You will leave it till tomorrow where you may put a new band-aid on once the old one get's dirty. There's no soaking, or building a caustic concotion to clean it with.
With a piercing (any piercing) all that is required is to "flush the piercing daily", this is simple to do and will keep the piercing happy and healthy. No need for sea salt soaks or woo woo magic stuff from a jar or tube or spray bottle.
It's all hype, really it is.
In the shower, soap up and rinse off shampoo and conditioner done and finished. Now before exiting the shower, simple let the water hit the piercing and move the jewellery back and forth throught the piercing. Once the water gets into the piercing, the jewellery will move much easier. That's your cue to stop with the flushing. Exit the shower, dry off and dry your piercings with a clean towel. That's it your done your after care.
Any time you are in the shower just flush the piercings in the same manner and nothing else needs to be done. Too simple huh, yup and a lot less expensive than all that screwing around buying bottled stuff or making a caustic solution to soak your piercing in.
A real professional body piercer with years of experiance who knows how the body heals piercings will never tell you to buy this or that or make this stuff up and do this with it. It's a cash grab, money out of your pocket and into the shop's till. The routeen I laid out has worked just fine for all my clients over the past 20 years, and it still works today. Try it it's too simple.
