so i was curious about silicone ear skins and solid silicone plugs in general and was curious if they were like most double flares even though they were squishy? should i use 2 gauge silicone plugs and skins since i am in 0 gauge or would 0 gauge be fine? i just dont wanna put a 0 gauge silicone plug in and not be able to get it out and be in a world of trouble lol
thanks logan

Re: silicone plugs
Nah, go with your regular size. Double-flare silicone is much easier to get in than regular DF; your ears don't have to be super loosened up or anything. I've never been able to wear DF plugs but I wear silicone just fine. The whole plug folds up which makes it much easier to get in.
I think solid silicone plugs are slightly harder to get in than earskins, though. And definitely don't wear them until a few weeks after you stretch. I tried to wear my earskins about a week after I stretched last time and they irritated my ears.

I have 1/2" lobes and 11 piercings: left helix x2, both conches, both nostrils, septum, navel, and VCH.
My lobes are small but I know a lot about stretching and how to do it safely, so message me if you have any questions!
