The best things to use are oils like vitamin E, jojoba, emu oil, and vegan versions of emu oil. I prefer jojoba and emu for the actual stretching process because they're thin. Vitamin E oil is kind of thick and sticky.

I have 1/2" lobes and 11 piercings: left helix x2, both conches, both nostrils, septum, navel, and VCH.
My lobes are small but I know a lot about stretching and how to do it safely, so message me if you have any questions!

Nah, it has kind of a weird smell but it's not very strong and it's definitely not fishy. I just put some on my hands for dry skin so I'm smelling it right now, haha. The best smelling stuff I've ever used is called Naked oil, you can get it online and some piercers sell it.

The stuff you say that smells like fish might have been emu oil. Some people say it docent have an odor at all and some say it stinks. I could never stomach it. Especially in making soap when the lye warms it up ewwww.

Re: Lube to size up?
I never really thought emu oil had much of a smell. Maybe there's a difference between different brands. Just the idea of emu oil is still kinda gross though but I always tried not to think about it.deviantxy wrote:The stuff you say that smells like fish might have been emu oil.
