The most important thing you should do when you receive jewelry from anywhere is to clean it. Your best bet is to use Antibacterial Soap and Water to thoroughly clean the jewelry. If you want to boil your jewelry DO NOT BOIL ANY JEWELRY WITH ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS, INCLUDING THE Tiggler(tm) Vibrating Barbell, or Jewel settings or acylic. BASICALLY ONLY BOIL JEWELRY THAT IS ENTIRELY STEEL. The Safest and Easiest way to clean your jewelry is with antibacterial soap. Do not use alcohol or any chemicals to clean or sterilize the jewelry or components due to the possibility of discoloration or adverse reaction to the materials. For example: if you use alcohol to sanitize your acrylic balls, the balls will split in two or deform before your eyes. For oral jewelry it is not uncommon for the jewelry to be affected. Like teeth or fabrics, body jewelry can be discolored or affected by ingested chemicals such as alcohol, mouthwash, cigarette smoke, chlorine, soaps, food and/or drinks.
Most body jewelry is designed to allow the removal of components (Barbells typically have three parts to them, 2 balls and a shaft) Be sure to check regularly to assure that all components of all products are securely tightened and in place so they cannot fall off (especially to avoid accidental ingestion of barbell components).
To protect your teeth from getting chipped or cracked, do not bite down on oral jewelry. Do not wear jewelry that has become loose or stripped. For all threaded products, whether metal, Lucite or acrylic, do not over-tighten due to the risk of thread stripping.
