How long do I have to wait to swim after getting my belly button peirced?

I lay out a lot and then I get into the pool, I’m woundering if that’s not good for it?

Answer #1

You are supposed to atleast wait 30 days before getting into a pool after getting a piercing. Anytime before that and your risking some pretty nasty infections.

Answer #2

Unless its the ocean, My piercer said to wait at least 3 months before swimming in the pool because it takes approximately around 6 months for your belly ring to heal so if you get it infected it can “ migrate” and leave a really nasty scar. Trust me, you don’t want that because that’s what happened to me because the chlorine water starting irritating my piercing
