I'm at 8mm!

At last :O I know people said i should have waited a couple of month before i try to get to 8mm again but i've been doing sea salt soaks massages etc. Just there i tried to get my stretching crescent in and it went in with ease no pain or nothing I'm so happy :). I know probably someone will have something bad to say about this - but i really don't care I know when my ears feel healthy or not like the last time my ears were stinging and making my hole head thump theres nothing this time apart from the large weight difference on my ears :O. Yays.

Well if there's no pain or anything you should be okay, but be careful stretching with the crescents. Like you said, they weigh a lot and can put a lot of pressure on your ears. They can also move around too much, cause uneven stretches, and all kinds of stuff you don't want. Crescents look nice but try just getting some single-flare plugs. Congrats on reaching 8mm, though!
I'm Lindsay.
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!

I realised tonight that they are really too heavy so i will be investing in some plugs there the easiest thing i have ever stretched with though. Nothing else works for me apart from crescents ^.^ Plus there not really that heavy on my ears there just heavy because i was so used to my 6mm's. :]

Re: I'm at 8mm!

I will probably go much bigger than 10mm :). I have my 10mm tunnels already and there a little too small for my liking.
