I dont use anything at the moment. If they are sore, i soak them in salt water. It really helps alot. Really hot water with like 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt for about 10 minutes, then rinse with hot water. I was thinking of picking up some vitamin E oil just to keep my lobes nice and soft, they sometimes get dry from using Dial soap daily to clean em.

I got my lobes pierced in February I think at 14g, and pretty quickly moved up through 4g, which I stayed at all summer because I had a job and the sillicon hider plugs I had were 4g. Since then I've already moved up to 00g, and my job lets me keep in my 'conservative' ear piercings so thats cool.
I got mine pierced at 6g and immediately got them stretched to 4g. It hurt like nothing ive ever felt. I dont even think my job noticed theyre not 'normal' piercings. I guess being 6'3" helps hide the fact you can see through em.
