dont remove ur plug after a fresh stretch. Let it sit for at least a week before taking it out. Its ok to do sea salt soaks tho, but dont take out ur plug. Ur ear needs time to heal at that size. gud luck an happy stretching =D

It depends. If your ear is sore and crusty (which it really shouldn't be if you took your time with stretching), don't take the plugs out because they could get irritated. If not, you should be fine to take the plugs out. Honestly I've never done sea salt soaks or anything on my stretches; if you stretch slowly you won't have any open wounds to heal. Sometimes at smaller sizes when I got a lot more "ear cheese" I'd take them out and wash my ears and the plugs with unscented antibacterial soap but then I'd do an oil massage so they wouldn't get dried out.
