I resently stretched with silicone tunnels and I was wondering if any one had any advice they could give me to prevent infection and I don't want to hear about how I'm a dumb ass for stretching with silicone because I don't care I just need some advice

I dont see anything wrong with stretching with ptfe tape or tapers especially if you do it right and use high quality material.

Anyway to answer the question, theres really nothing, if you stretched with silicone, you made that decision, and honestly you should be fine as long as you clean them out daily. Cleanliness is very preventative for infection.

Its all good, I was just extremely confused as to how you were going to argue that taping with ptfe is bad, because that is by far the best at larger sizes, and tapers are the best at smaller. :P
