Anw, is olive oil okay? Cause in my area, jojoba oil and emu oil isnt available
Haha, I actually have no idea, I don't really know if Olive Oil is good for anything other than cooking, lol
I bought my Vitamin E oil from a store online called 'Mother Nature's Goodies', it's a UK site though so might be a bit of a pain for you to order from. Maybe try searching for a US site that sells essential oils?
(Sorry if you're not actually American, I just presumed as most other people on here are)

Just wondering, if i were to massage my lobes. Do i have to remove the plugs and just massage the outside?
Damn, im getting paranoid at the fact that i got a lump inside my earlobes):

Yes, take out your plugs and massage the actual holes.

I found that going from 2mm to 3mm seemed to hurt the most idk why.
I think the larger size you are, the less it hurts to stretch. When i went from 5mm to 6mm, i pushed the stretcher through straight away, it didnt hurt at all. And going from 6mm to 8mm didnt really hurt, but i kinda pushed it from most the way through to all of it by accident.
Some people can take pain easier than others though.

I agree, I found the sizes around 3mm the most reluctant, but the 6mm/7mm/8mm sizes have been no issue at all. Your lobes get more elastic though I guess
Knowing my luck 9mm will be an absolute bitch now that I've said that though, haha

Are you using strechers? When I was switching from 2g to 0 I was using a moon shaped Gage and i swear I couldn't sleep the slightest touh would hurt an I thought it was normal but the next morning it hurt so bad I wantd to see how it looked, and to my suprise it looked infected and deformed so I switched to a regular gauge and it was WAY better, maybe you switch gauges.
