BASE LABORATORIESBASE LABORATORIES Base Labs Piercing Aftercare Swabs for Piercing Bump Treatment Earring Cleaner for Pierced Ears, Nose Piercing Aftercare Keloid Bump Removal 36 Saline Cleaning Solution Buds

I recently two extra stacked piercings in one ear. I tried using the sea salt spray my piercer recommended, but that didn’t help heal my new piercings. I then tried everything else, but still it wasn’t healing properly. I’m a side sleeper, so after the standard set time I swapped out the studs to shorter ones, so they were more comfortable. This helped, but I was still getting inflammation and slight amount of bleeding from the back of the piercing. I did some research on Amazon and found these. I really liked that they were portable, and not messy ie. Needing an extra cotton pad, liquid dripping everywhere. These are compact and easy to use. You tear off a cotton bud, remove the wrapping by tearing one end and pulling out the cotton bud. You then snap the end that has the line on it, keeping the cotton bud upright, the liquid then runs through the inside of the cotton bud in a few seconds, and collects at the bottom soft part of the cotton bud. Be mindful that there maybe a drop of the liquid that falls from the bottom of the cotton bud when holding it and waiting for it to fill. You then use the end of the cotton bud to wipe around the affected piercing. I’ve been using them just once a day for 5 days now concentrating on the back of the piercing, and I have little to no blood on the cotton bud anymore after cleaning even after just 5 days. The piercing is much less sore too, especially when sleeping on my side. I shall continue to use them until there is no blood after cleaning. They have no smell, and the liquid is not sticky. I can highly recommend these if you have a sore piercing that won’t heal.

These were brilliant for clearing up an infection.

Despite meticulous cleaning my helix started to get a keloid and these got rid of it so effortlessly and quickly. Love the pre filled swabs for extra hygiene. Great price too.

so easy to use and portable if you are going away. Quite expensive when used up quickly (2/3 cotton buds a day). Product flows out of the cotton bud quickly so I would recommend holding it upright over the piercing

I'm on my second box of these, following a helix piercing two months ago. Compared with the bottle of solution that I bought from the piercing salon, these seem to help the healing process much, much better, are very easy to use, and convenient for taking on holiday. The reason that I've only given 4 stars is that they are currently £12 for a box of 40, and you can only use one end, as you have to snap off the other end to release the solution. If you use one for the front, one for the back, morning and night, a box will only last 10 days, so this may be beyond the budget for some customers. Overall though, an excellent product.

I’ve tried many different products these are by far the best for clearing up lumps and bumps and for the grumpy piercing that every so often likes to get sore. They are really simple to use snap and go overall my favourite to use on new and old piercings.

I've been using this product just over 2 weeks and honestly blown away with how much it's helped my piercing heal. My piercing got infected after I used a pool I had thought it would be fine as the piercing was done 3 months beforehand but boy was I wrong. Was on the verge of taking it out but decided to give this a go and it's helped reduce the bump a fair good amount and I will continue using it till its full healed. Ive also been using thier after care spray too. Cannot recommend enough

Despite these claiming to be soaked in saline, opened a few of these and every single one was dry as a bone. Ordered them 3 weeks in advance of needing them (like to be prepared) and by the time I opened them they were useless, likely were well before this. Shouldn’t dry up in such a short time. Buy saline spray instead.
