Well I got the taper through one ear
I've been trying to get the 4g taper through for like 2 weeks now, and everytime I tried it just wouldn't go through (still won't go through on the left ear). So I tried putting it in again on my right ear, there was some resistance although I could feel it "just" getting over the bit where the taper increases to the next gauge.
Sighing, i just left the taper in my ear, went back to browing the forums and playing with the lobe a bit, tugging it gently etc when all of a sudden I felt a little tug and I realized the taper had gone through.
OMG!! I was so happy ^_^ I had tried taping with PTFE but I found the tackiness of it sticking to my ear was making me paranoid that It would get stuck to me forever so I didn't do it o_o
Anyways, I'll have to leave the taper in for a while (don't worry it's stainless steel not acrylic), since the plugs I have for 4g are externally threaded screw ons, and I don't want to cut my ears when I put them through.
My ears will be uneaven for a while too, until my other ear decides it's ready for 4g as well, but I don't mind ^_^
yay for upsize :3
