@twosharks - My ears have always been very resistive. Even months after a stretch I couldn't leave them out for long. The massages have helped though but I definitely can't leave them out overnight.

@magalo - I can only imagine how uncomfortable that might be. maybe I get to find out some day

After a hot shower, and use more lube. If you're doing that but have cheaper jewelry, then try a long metal taper with a concave end, and a straight plug with a rounded end so there's no break between taper and plug. If you're already doing that then you've got a choice. Try teflon taping , or just ...

I think that is wicked cool. Looks great

I am doing oil massages twice a day actually. Not so much the saline. I did the saline the firt couple of days and that was it. I am definitelly giving it plenty of time this time around.

I started stretching, slowly, from 18g a couple of years back. After 8g I started using tape to stretch rather than using tapers. It worked well until I was at 6g going to 4g. It bled a bit so I took the tape off, went back to 6g for a month tried again and it worked well. I made it to 4g. After ...

New to stretching (sort of) and looking to keep going. I say sort of because I was already at a size 4 then lost one plug the day I left on a trip for work. Long story short had to start from 18g again. They stretched quickly but when I got to 6g again my right ear wasn't ready so now I am letting ...
