Yikes I just uped to a 4.. I've been taping my 6s so this jump was easy for me.. I used pinchers and left them in over night.. after a shower tonight I put my left ear plug in.. no problem.. but my right plug will not go through the back and i refuse to force it thru.. anyone else have this problem before? Any solutions?? Thank u

You may have to re-stretch that ear. It shouldn't tabs too long, but I highly recommend you avoid pinchers in fresh stretches. You can end up with an uneven fistula which leads to this kind of issue. Try to stick to jewelry that is uniform in diameter until you've let your stretch has healed completely.

Also, with stretches that are smaller, some people encounter fast shrinkage, so wearing jewelry which isn't uniform in size to bed may lead to what you ran into. That said, even if your fistula is healed, it might be best to wear plugs to bed anyway.

Anyway, short answer, take the tape off your old plug, rewrap it so it fits and restretch the last few wraps and you should be golden.

Good luck!

Grr... Stupid autocorrect. I meant it shouldn't be too long, not "it shouldn't tabs too long."
