Will My Holes Close?

Hi guys I'm at a 2G and I run track which requires that no jewelry be present and I was wondering if my holes will significantly close over the course of a track meet (normally about 6 hours) since I've never had my gauges out for an extended period of time. Thanks!

Hmm.. that's actually a very tricky question because it depends on what kind of lobes you have.
But I know that with mine when I would take them out to clean or put in the plugs after having tapers in they would start to retract within the time it took me to clean them and the gauges.
So 6 hours might make them go smaller. Unfortunatly. :(
I'm sorry. D:

You could try to hide them with skin tone plugs. You could also just take them out before your heat. Back when I was in track, I carried around a bag for my spikes. Try putting the plugs in the bag before the heat. Thats all i got.

thanks for the input i'll try the skin tone plugs and if that doesn't work just keep them out as little as possible

It kinda varies from person to person. I've had my plugs out for longer than 6 hours and they didn't close up that much. I mean, I was able to pop in double flared 00g plugs with no problem.

If you live in a cold area, that might also add to the situation.. ):
