Review (5/5): 6 piercings, quick and painless!
6 piercings for $9! Not bad at all. Easy to use, common sense really. Tip: be sure to remove white square and push the blue thumb tab in just a bit (until you hear a click) to make it easier for when you are ready to pierce the ear. Not necessary, but highly recommend. Also makes it easier to align the earring to your placement marking. I pierced my second lobe holes myself, easy and painless. Next day, my sister asked to me re-pierce her holes and add her second holes. She took all four like a champ, wasn’t too bad, just sore for a few days because the backs of the earrings are kind of uncomfortable (especially when trying to sleep on your side), but bearable. I’d be sure to have the backing of the earring at the farthest end to ensure space for your lobe to breathe and in case there is any swelling. Also be smart about the whole process, use common sense. Wash your hands with antibacterial soap, wear gloves, clean the lobe and surrounding skin with alcohol (it includes some alcohol pads by the way, so no excuse), mark your spot (triple-check if it is even!), and take the disposable out of its sterile packaging, consider my tip above, align with marking, and push blue tab quickly. Voila, your lobe is pierced. After care is just as important, so clean your earrings and freshly pierced lobes with a saline solution!!! I wouldn’t recommend alcohol or hydrogen peroxide as it can be drying and may irritate your pierced lobes and possibly become infected. So yeah, saline solution, or ear cleaning solution. You can buy a bottle at Claire’s or even here on Amazon. Twice a day, every day, for at least 6 weeks straight. Try to avoid makeup in your ear/neck area, but if anything, just remove your makeup at the end of the day and clean your piercing with saline solution. You can occasionally do salt soaks or saline solution soaks. Helps deep clean and heal faster I heard. Anyway, I’d recommend this product if you’re looking to pierce your lobes and don’t want to pay to have it professionally done at a more costly price. If you have the guts to pierce yourself with a hollow piercing needle, i’d do that instead, but because I couldn’t do it myself, I chose to get the disposable ear gun/staple.
