Hi, recently I stretched to a 10mm and I can't seem to get my double flared plugs into my ears, even when I was at 8mm I found it hard aswell. So I was wondering if anyone has any tips for getting double flared plugs into your ears. Thanks

Hmm. I'm not sure about the o-rings unless they're cutting into your ear. It definitely doesn't sound like an allergic reaction, that would usually be more itching than anything.
