New Piercing Aftercare
1) Clean your cartilage piercing twice a day for the next 3 days, once in the morning and again at night. You can do this in the shower or bath but you must always rinse the piercing out using fresh running water.
1a) Shampoo, Conditioner, Soap-up and Rinse off using your normal bath products. We don't want any other cleaning or grooming products to enter a piercing we are trying to clean. Leave cleaning your cartilage piercing as the last thing you clean before exiting the shower or bath.
1b) Using your Soft Soap brand liquid anti-bacterial soap apply a small amount to your hand and lather it up. Once lathered, apply this to the cartilage piercing and jewellery, working it around the piercing by rotating the ring or shuffling the stud. Once the Soft Soap is in the piercing wait a few moments then rinse the piercing in running water again rotating the ring or shuffling the stud to ensure all the soap is out of the cartilage and piercing.
1c) Come out of the shower or bath and towel dry, but use a tissue to dry the cartilage piercing out thoroughly (towels can retain bacteria and should not be used on new or fresh piercings)
After 3 Days
Follow the above steps 1a through 1c only once a day for the next three to four weeks. Between actual cleanings you may rotate the ring or shuffle the stud only under running water after you have soaped up and rinsed off and don't intend on using any other cleaning or grooming products.
After 4 Weeks
Follow the above steps 1a through 1c only once every 2 or 3 days for the next three to four months. Over cleaning is the number one cause of irritated piercings. Striping the natural skin oils will tend to dry the cartilage piercing out causing it to look red and irritated.

If your flat back labret won't go in, it could be due to swelling or irritation in the piercing, making it difficult to insert the jewelry.
