I don't know if this helped anyone else, but my piercer instructed me to use Tegaderm bandages until they are healed. He told me to just leave them on until they start peeling off and then put some more on, and to put a piece of gauze in there if I knew I was going to be very active to catch sweat. Also, the shop I go to encourages everyone to keep piercings dry and only clean them if they get bumped around or dirty. I haven't had the displeasure of any catches or anything like that yet, and I am very glad for it. All of their technique and aftercare info is on their website, which I can give in a PM if requested.
