Re: No longer using jojoba oil

Hi,

I use unrefined organic Shea butter. I'm sensitive to a lot of things and this is the only one that I can use without getting sore lobes etc.
Nice and cheap but good for stretching :D you could also try Organic Coconut oil I've that is also very good too.

Re: Healing timeframe/expectations for 4g piercing

Hi,

I'm no expert so this is just my opinion......try swapping your plugs to Glass and see if that helps. Maybe your lobe is not happy with the material you have in it. I can only wear glass due to over sensitivity of othe materials. Are your O rings on quite close to your skin? Try going without ...

Re: 8g to 6g stretch bleeding again ... advice?

Hi
Sorry to hear your having trouble with stretching from an 8-6g.

I had read that it was a not so pleasent stretch due to the jump in size! Like you I did all the sizes stretching up not missing any at all, and I must say I ended up having to wait nearly 4months before I felt I could do it..... I ...

Weights

Hi all,

I have been wearing my 3.2mm Screw backs and single flared tunnels (8G) for roughly 3 months now and still my ear lobes are not ready for the next size up. I do my lobe massages everyday and still nothing. I am not wanting to force the taper through as I don't want to damage my lobes.
