Crumbles?
Like...how? What oil were you using? Odd..

Sometimes it scrunches up. But that generally just means you wait a day or so, and it'll suddenly work. You can kind of overlap around the sides/fronts/whatever you call them/the bit that isn't the wearable!, and then insert the plug from the back, which looks a bit odd. But it tends to stay on a bit better

Vaseline isn't great stuff to use.. but nvm.

Im using olive oil. It's like, the PTFE tape will be too "soft" till the extend that when i put in the plug, then PTFE tape will get push out.

Well, no choice. It's hard to get emu oil/jojoba oil in my area ):
Vaseline is the best bet. And it works kinda well so far

Just did another 5 wraps

Its scrunching up and sliding off? Just be patient, clean them off, and try again the next day. Wrap a little tighter.
I thought by crumbling you meant.. cracking into tiny pieces or something

Olive oil is preferable to vaseline, it clogs skin up something horrid, can't be absorbed and is generally annoying.
Water based sex lube is good. And oils can normally be found in health food/those strange shops full of 'well-being' pills & vitamins. Or pharmacies. Bio-oil works too, but can be kinda expensive.

Yeap thanks

Well, i think i've wrapped till it reaches 0g now. However when i took out the plug with the PTFE, i tried to insert the 0g tunnel but unable to get in ): Im quite confident that it's 0g already cause when i tried to inside the PTFE taped plug in the 0g tunnel, it is unable to go through. So yea.

Any advices?

I'd keep going with the tape a little more, just to be sure. Doesn't matter if it overflows or anything.

Calipers/micrometers are really useful

Yea, i got the 8mm tunnel in already. But realize my actual hole is actually bigger then 8mm. So i insert back the PTFE plug. Well, guess imma let it rest at 10mm.
How do you know if you're adding tapes too fast? Cause to me, there's no pain or swelling, not at all. So im adding around 3-5 rounds every one or two day(s)

lol first it said 8-6g and now ur at 0g. Thats tight. Ummm it is hard to say how much tape is to much per day or watever cuz everyone is different. I personally think that 1-2 per day is fine. I use electrical tape tho so i add a few layers every couple days cuz of how thick the tape is.

Yea, i thought i wasn't at 0g at all.

Anyway, how does a catbutt effect looks like? Is it when you remove your plug and your hole isn't in a circular shape?

I posted a topic on it recently, take a look at that

Everyone's different, but 3-5 sounds like a lot, especially every day. Are you taking a break between sizes? If not, it sounds like you're doing the same thing this girl did: http://news.bmezine.com/2007/05/04/ear- ... -disaster/
