So, you've just gotten a new piercing and you're itching to dive into the water. But how long should you wait before taking the plunge?
Can you hit the waves right away?
Good news! You're free to jump into the ocean or freshwater straight away after getting a new piercing. However, it's recommended not to stay in the water for too long.
How long should you limit your time in the water?
For the first two to three weeks after getting your piercing, make sure to rinse it out with fresh water immediately after swimming. Avoid public pools during this time as the chemicals can irritate your piercing.
Remember, while you can enjoy the water right away, it's essential to take care of your new piercing to ensure it heals properly. So, splash around, but don't linger too long!
