Square Plugs?

Hey guys, new to the forum. I've been a lurker for a while but i finally got up the courage to create an account. But on to my issue, last week i put in 9/16ths and the pain was pretty minimal, so today i went to pick up a new pair. i was having issues with finding some i liked, but i found these square onces that i liked quite a bit. I just finished getting them in and its the most pain ive had since i've begun stretching my ears. Im not quite sure what is causing it either, i was thinking it might be the irregular shape that has the pressure not evenly spread through it that could be doing it, but im not completely sure. Anybody with some experience of different shapes willing to give me some input? And does anybody have some ideas of what i could do to get the pain to go down?

Re: Square Plugs?

im pretty sure that the pain comes from the shape of the plugs, because you should not stretch with triangular orr square plugs.

I kinda figured that. I woke up at 4ish in the morning and it was hurting about 3x as much as it did before. So i toughed it out and figured my best bet would to switch em back to the circles i had before, and the minute i slipped them in again the pain went down sooo much. So needless to say im going to be trying to find a 3rd pair of 9/16ths. Ive been having a great deal of trouble trying to find stores with that size stocked though...

Maybe you know someone who has? Then you could just pay them in cash and they could order for you? That's how I did online shopping before I got my credit card.

^^ Same. Although now my mum gets me to use my partner and I's credit card on ebay and she pays us in cash, cos she doesn't trust using her credit card online -_-

Re: Square Plugs?

The pain is due to the plugs you are using. Some plugs cause big pain. My girl friend had this problem before.
