Discuss all things ear stretching

Seriously, if there is a god he will empower me with the ability to stop buying body jewelry. I bought a new storage container for all my jewelry last night and spent the better part of 3 hours sorting it all out. I'm pretty sure I have an addiction. Does anybody else have this problem. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yes, I have a little box with labelled compartments and everything, haha :)

My wishlist on Body Jewellery Shop atm still adds up to about £90 though :/

And I'm really after something like this to use as a seperate plug/tunnel box:

I bought a big tool box from b&q (with some extra dividers), and spent 2 days cutting holes in foam for plugs. Filled it up, but i'm sure i still spend at least an hour a week rearranging and generally staring at it.
now i've gone bigger, my plug selection is rather diminished. something like 8 pairs? ):
i think my current wishlist is $800, plus extra one off expensive pretties i don't really NEED (Like quetzalli carved amber nd more abaraka). i'm waiting for luciferin preorders next.

yeah..
anyone wanna buy my old 5/8"s? XD
i can't possibly end up with two boxes...

I think if you buy more jewellery at one size it deters you from stretching bigger, because you have to buy the jewellery again. I could do with getting a proper thing to keep my jewellery in, i keep mine on a desk xD.

I have a little tackle-box type thing from Body Art Forms for my jewelry. =) I used to have a pretty bad buying addiction but now I HAVE to save money so I can only buy the essentials... right now I need a smaller circular barbell for my septum and some bioplast for my double helix. Wouldn't mind getting a new pair of plugs, though!
I think the reason I'm waiting so long before stretching to 1G and then to 0G is because I know once I'm at 0G I'll want to buy every pair of plugs I see!
I'm Lindsay.
I have 1/2" lobes and 11 piercings: left helix x2, both conches, both nostrils, septum, navel, and VCH.
My lobes are small but I know a lot about stretching and how to do it safely, so message me if you have any questions!

I have a little one, which is a nice little size for all my bars and BCRS, ect, but it's way too small for my plugs and tunnels and things unfortunately :/

Omerica Organic do some clever little plug bags, but they're REALLY expensive :(

I dont have anything fancy, i just have cheap stuff.
I want to stretch to 12mm now, 7mm more than my original goal size xD.
Because bodyjewelleryshop have the nicest tunnels ive ever seen, and they start at 12mm.

Bloody expensive though...
