Downsizing <3

SO i tore my ear a little when I went from a 4g to 2g with a taper which was 1.5 mm instead of 1mm so I downsized, waited a month or so (I know I should've waited longer but I felt my ear healed up nicely) and I stretched back up with tape and voila, my ear is HAPPY. Just wanted to let you guys know even though downsizing doesn't sound so appealing it'll probably be the best thing you do for your ears. I hated it at first but in the long run my ears are happy and back to normal.

That's good! I'm glad your lobes are happy now. When I was stretching to 2G I had no idea it could be either 6 or 6.5mm, but I was lucky and got a pair of plugs that were 6mm. Half a millimeter doesn't seem like much but at such small sizes it definitely makes a difference!
