Just stretched up to 1g. When I was stretching my fistula got caught on the lip of the plug where the o-ring sits. It was stuck, so I just pushed it through instead of pulling it out. Do you guys think that could cause any complications? Thanks!

Not really sure what happened, but earlier tonight I noticed one of my ears was slightly red and also slightly sore which seemed strange because my last stretch was about a month and a half ago. I took out my plug to investigate and noticed a small amount of what looked like dry blood or puss. I ...

Hi everybody
I was just wondering if anybody had any experience with wooden double flair jewelry. Recently I bought some and wasn't expecting them to be harder to put in than flat flair, but I was very wrong haha. Does anybody know how to do this? I've tried to use minimal oils, because I'm ...

Meaning leaving ears without jewelry, of course.

I was just wondering the best way to go about this. I've tried for the past few weeks for a few hours at a time and was curious a good amount of time to leave them out. Suggestions?

Yeah, I've been using the PFTE. I'm pretty safe about stretching, so I'm pretty surprised!
Thanks for the oil advice. I typically always use my jajoba once a day in the shower, but I'll be sure to be more active with it. I already downsized back to a 2g. Thinking that maybe even 4g just to be safe ...

Well, after about a month and a half of being at 2 I started taping my way up to the next size. One layer every 5-7 days. The most recent time that I went to tape I noticed that there was a very small fleshy lump right above the fistula. I'm a little worried that it may be a very small blow out ...

It doesn't seem to be irritated. I'm keeping a pretty good eye on it to make sure it doesn't do anything it's not supposed to.

Yeah, I was thinking about taping. Not 100% sure what I'm doing there, but I hear a layer of Teflon tape every week and new tape every month is a pretty good method.

So, I've been sitting at a 2g for about a month and a half or so, and decided I would try to put in a 0g taper. It went in part of the way, I could definitely feel a stretch, but the whole thing wouldn't slide in, so I decided to take it out. I guess it's because 0g is such a big leap compared to ...

Your piercer messed up in all sorts of ways. Your ears need a good 6 months post piercing before they're ready to stretch, and after at least 4-6 weeks between each stretch.

Agreeing with Corazon, It would probably be best starting over after letting your ears heal for several months then taking it ...

Two weeks for each size is not long enough, even at small sizes. Small sizes are just as important as bigger ones. You should be waiting about 6-8 weeks, or until you can put in the next size without pain or a lot of resistance.

If I were you I'd downsize to 8G. Also, don't wear tapers as jewelry ...
