After the piercing itself is done, Mytych says, "We don't twist, turn, or rotate, we leave them alone, [and] we also send you home with saline aftercare spray." Gottschalk says this spray can be applied to piercings twice a day and then dried completely, but not with Q-tips, since their cotton fibres can get inside of the piercing and cause serious damage. He also urges clients to throw their loofahs away, saying, "Once you get your nipples pierced, the world is your enemy. Everything is going to try to snag on them." Beall adds that for successful healing, people should also avoid partner play and oral contact with their nipples for about six months.
