weirdest thing happened to my ear
about 2 months ago i slowly taped my ears up to 1/2" from 00g, and i've noticed something strange and awful. my left ear is beautifully stretchy and double flared plugs arent a problem. my right ear however has 0 elasticity and wont accommodate even the smallest of flares. i even have to lube up single or no fared plugs for them to go in easily. i havent done anything extremely traumatic to this ear ever, in fact, i tore my other ear quite badly once upon a time but it turned out great. i tried tea tree oil, massaging, moisturizers, only putting plugs in after showers but nothing seems to work. does anyone know how i can increase the elasticity in that ear without downsizing? because i really dont think that would help.

The only other thing i can think of for you is the one you already know, time. In time they will loosen up, you already know that probably, give them another month and see where your at with it.

Yes, waiting can help you and regular jojoba/emu/e-vitamin oil massages too. I use jojoba oil and I think it makes my ears more elastic and soft.
