strange thing with double flares
so i have been at 2 gauge for about 3 months and have been wearing 4g double flares roughly 3-5 times a week since being at 2g a month.. i always slept with single flares in and recently started sleeping with naked lobes now i can put my single flares back in no problem at all in the morning time but i have been having some resistance getting my double flares in and out! i dont get it they go in easy but are a pain in the arse to get out? i use oil atleast twice a day and wash my ears without plugs atleast once a day and never sleep in DF plugs always single flares... any help or explinations? lol thanks logan

Re: strange thing with double flares
I've never used double flares myself so i can't really give any advice but i've heard from others that they are a pain in the butt XD
Right ear: 0g, two 6gs on lobe; 2g on cartilage....
goal: 00 on lobe! perhaps a 0g on cartilage?
Left ear: 8g, two 14gs on lobe; 14g on cartilage
goal: 00 on lobe!

Re: strange thing with double flares
Since you've been sleeping naked your lobes are likely tightening a bit. How long have you had your ears at 2g? They may loosen more over time, or you may always have some difficulty with DF plugs. Honestly, though, at 2g, you're probably still safe to sleep with plugs in, if you want to maintain the hole at a loose 2g. That said, cheers to you for giving your lobes freedom to breathe overnight!
As far as the oil, are you just putting oil on your lobes or are you massaging it in? The oil itself will do little other than act as a lubricant. The massage will, on the other hand, encourage blood flow and tissue growth.
Cheers!
