Unscented panty liners may be worn in case of bleeding.

If your piercing is uncomfortable once the numbing has worn off you may wish to take panadol or nurofen, remember to follow the manufactures guidelines regarding these.  
 
Remember that your piercing is a wound, there will be a little tenderness, swelling and discolouration and possibly bruising and itching.

Never touch your piercing without washing  your hands    
 
The best place to clean your piercing is the shower, use Protex  antibacterial soap Lather the area well  and leave for a minute before rinsing  the piercing thoroughly

To ensure no trace of soap is left behind. A clean cotton bud will help remove any crusts left behind.
 
Twice a day for the first 2 weeks, soak your piercing in a saline solution, for around 10 minutes. A saline solution can be made using 1/4 teaspoon of salt to one cup of warm boiled water. .
 
Drink plenty of water (6 to 8 glasses  a day ) to dilute your urine .

Take a clean piece of toilet paper and hold the piercing away from the flow of urine if possible to avoid stinging the piercing. 

Healthy urine is bug free so if you cant do this don't worry.

Take care with alcohol and fuzzy drinks as they can make the urine quite acidic.
 
DO NOT use any creams, ointments on your piercing , this includes betadine  and antibiotic creams, as they may irritate  the sensitive surrounding skin and kill off the normal healthy bacteria that live in that area . This  can  cause thrush and other types of infections.
 
DO NOT swim in any public swimming pools, spa pools or baths for at least two weeks. Swimming in the sea and rivers is fine just make sure you wash the sand out of the piercing.

Depending on the type of jewellery used check the balls are on tight at least once a day, after washing your hands

If your jewellery comes out put it straight back in, a lot of genital piercings close very quickly
