Disguising an unhealed new stretch

[redrook]

Hi ppl, I'm new to the site. Just wanted to get some advice.

I'm currently at 6g/4mm and my goal is to go up to a 2g/6mm. I've fairly recently started a job in a coffee shop where 'officially' we can't wear earrings/plugs, but my manager is pretty cool and hasn't really said anything about the silicone hider plugs I've been using. (and hasn't said anything if I forgot to change them either which is nice!)

Obv working with food I need to keep my hair up so can't disguise the taper or anything. So my 2 questions are:

1: would it still be possible to stretch if I take the taper out whilst at work and replace it later, or would it actually get smaller?!

2: what can I use to disguise the hole during the initial 'I've stretched but need to be kept open' healing stage?

Any advice massively appreciated

Well tapers are tools so you shouldn't be wearing them. If you get a pair of plugs and cut a bandaid to fit around the front that is close to your skin tone it might work. That will work for a couple weeks until you can wear silicone

I prefer to stretch slowly and it has generally worked out over a couple of days.

But I'll give the plaster thing a go

Just thought I'd leave a note incase anyone else stopped by this thread.

I found a clear glass top hat tunnel and put this in to the new stretch and to mask the hole whilst at work, I put my (now smaller) flesh color plug into the tunnel. (I had to trim the flare at the back a tiny bit so it would fit).

Anyway, you can still see a small ring of clear glass, but it helps camoflage it a bit
