Obviously I fail at wording my subject lines.

I've only recently stretched to 10g, but I'm having an issue with my 10g tunnels. They seem to not want to stay in when they're touched (even gently) or when I sleep (on the flared end). I'm a bit wary about stretching again so soon but I'm just having trouble keeping these suckers in and I'm worried that there's going to be some damage done if the flares get pushed all the way through because the size is awkward. I don't think I can take them out to sleep at this stage, either, but it hurts having to push them forward again.

Any advice?

What kind of material are they?

Surgical steel.

I had the exact same problem at 10 g- the flared end would go into the fistula and sometimes it was quite tricky to get it out.
I ended up buying som e bcr instead and was soooo happy with them, so that would be my advice

That's a good idea... do they stretch evenly with BCRs? I can't imagine at 10g they'd be too heavy.

They're not really heavy at 10 g at all, I had no problems at all. It was such a relief to have something in that didn't get caught all the time and didn't wander into my fistula. And they're easy to clean, cos you can gently twist it round so that it get clean.

Awesome, I might do that. What size are you at now?

6g

It's almost comforting to know that I'm not the only one who doesn't have huge stretches yet. I feel like a noob sometimes.

Don't feel to bad, I'm only at 14g . Then again I've only had my ears pierced for 6 months too..... Because of my dam school I never got them pierced before I graduated, but now, I'm taking my time and working my way up!!! I'm also totally with you on wanting to have even stretches. I want nice looking "naked" lobes.
