I really want to keep the hole open, but how do I keep it open without it being ripped out in the pool...

any ideas?suggestions? earring ides? or ways to keep the hole open???? HELP!!

Answer 1

Maybe if you wore a swim cap, and pulled it down over your ears and earring, that would help. Make sure it's a silicone cap, though, cause they're stronger and slipperier on the outside,  and check that the earring is a hoop or something that doesn't have a sharp point that would rip the cap, and be careful about keeping the piercing clean. But, other than that, it should work just fine.

Also, when the piercing is healed enough to take the earring out, I don't think leaving the hole open just for an hour or so of water polo practice is going to cause it to close up again. Just take it out right before practice starts, and put it in right after practice ends.

Answer 2

make sure you have a tight earring in and put some strong tape over your ear like duct tape. (its gonna hurt when you pull it off but it will stay on in the water.)
