I cringe at the usage of bactine! Ladies! While bactine is slightly better than hydrogen peroxide it's still a rough agent and is very drying. Ideally your piercer should have suggested something to clean them like satin or provon soap. Clean with the soap in the shower, and never EVER wipe with cotton because the threads get caught around the jewlery and cause further problems. For all of my piercings I soaked daily with a sea salt mix that has the salinity of tears, so think 1/4 teaspoon to 1L water. Warm it up and always always use a clean container like a dixie cup or something of the sort.
