Our aftercare is based not only on our experience of piercing since 1989, but with research in the field of external skeletal fixators (ESFs), the ONLY medical field that comes close to body piercing.  We believe in purity in products, not harsh chemical soaps and cleansers.  Please click one of the links below to find out how we recommend for you to care for your body piercing.

Holistic Aftercare for Problem Pierces

Compiled report on Hydrogen Peroxide

Products...

Soaps:
Certain types of soap should be avoided for a body piercing to heal properly.  Additives like fragrance, deodorants, colors, moisturizers, and harsh anti-bacterial chemicals can be very irritating to a fresh piercing.  Here at Warrior, we recommend the use of "pure" soaps, such as Ivory and clear glycerine soaps.

Here is a listing of ingredients from the labels of these products.

DIAL SOAP Contains the following:
     Active ingredients: Triclocarban, Triclosan
     Other ingredients: Sodium tallowate, sodium palmate, sodium cocoate, palm kernalate, water, PEG-6 methyl ether, fragrance, glycerin, sorbitol, sodium chloride, tetrasodium etidronate, pentasodium penetate, BHT, FD&C Yellow No. 5, D&C Yellow No. 8, FD&C Red No. 4

IVORY SOAP Contains the following:
     Ingredient:Sodium tallowate

CLEARLY NATURAL SOAP (Unscented) Contains the following:
      Ingredient:Glycerine

Solutions:
    Hydrogen Peroxide is colorless, odorless, and does a fine job as long as it is rinsed off after use.  Preservative free saline solution is very helpful.  Solutions of iodine (Betadine) and Bactine are not conducive to the healing of a body piercing. The use of rubbing alcohol (isopropyl) is also not recommended.
      Lately there has been some controversy about the effect of hydrogen peroxide with body piercing.  Here at Warrior, we have been recommending peroxide for over a decade without any problem.  We base our aftercare on extensive research done by surgeons and specialists in the field of External Skeletal Fixators, the only field in the medical industry that comes anywhere close to body piercing. 
      We have compiled a report based upon numerous articles in medical journals regarding the use of Hydrogen Peroxide and its effects on healing tissued with external skeletal fixators.  Please click HERE to view this report.

Mouth Washes:
     Listerine brand is an antispetic mouthwash.  The anitseptic qualities of this brand kill many types of bacteria in the mouth.  Other mouth washes on the market that are not antiseptic are not recommended for oral piercings.  We recommend Listerine (any flavor will work, although it has been reported to us that the original is the most disagreeable in taste) for tongue, labret, Monroe, scrimpers (scrumpers), lingual frenulum, and all other oral piercings.  Due to the increased amount of rinsing necessary in a piercing, it is recommended to dilute the solution 50/50 with water.
