sorry ive already asked this question, i just rlly need answers !
i got my belly button pierced may 16th, and i want to take it out on june 20th because im going to the bahamas on the 21st, and id like to put in a barbell.
ive been cleaning my piercing as told and its healing up very good so far, ill be also swimming in alot of salt water which is good for peircings.
anyways, would it be okay if i changed it then? that is exactly a month , and a couple days .
thank you !

it sould be fine. soak the ring in rubbing alchol and make sure your hands are clean before you do it. if the ring and your hands arent clean, then it could get infected so just be clean lol have fun at the bahamas! im jealous by the way lol

You need to leave it for 6 to 8 weeks before changing it. It may look healed but on the inside it isn't it actually takes months to be fully healed, if you change it before 6 to 8 weeks you could risk infection and the chance of having difficulties when putting the new bar in as the tissue is still soft and there is still not exactly a clear straight hole to go through. Dont risk it, as seeing as your going to be swimming alot, salt water is ok but only in little bits its the germs that will be in the water that wont help so if you take it out replace it with a different one then go swimming you will be aggravating it, so i would just leave it in and as much as possible cover the piercing with a plaster when swimming as it is not fully healed and you will be risking alot of germs getting into it, the infection your risking is worse then they way you think you may look with it being covered with a plasters

You need to wait at least 2-4 months to change the ring since it's so fresh. After you go swimming remember to rinse it with regular water & cleaning solution, since oceans aren't clean.
