What kind of oil do you use?

What kind of oil do you use on your ears and why did you decide on that type? (:

[leighmarie]

I use Vitamin E, because I found it was generally the most recommened.

I also use Holey Butt'r, although that's not an oil, as it's specifically for use on stretched lobes. And the little tin is cute

Does the Holy Butt'r work well? I've heard really good things about it. I started using jojoba oil before i even started stretching. My ears were gunned back when I was a little thing and have always had a sort of hard ball around them. So I started doing massages about a month before i started stretching and it did wonders breaking up the scar tissue from that evil gun, ha. Plus I love how soft my lobes are afterwords. (:

Yeah, unfortunately my ears were pierced by gun when I was 18 months old, and obviously too young to know better.

I love Holey Butt'r. I've nearly run out, but even though the tin is small, it's lasted me ages. I plan on ordering some more as soon as I've used it all

I go back and forth between emu oil, vitamin E, and naked oil (they sell it on BAF and at the piercing/tattoo studio I go to). I like emu oil because it's not so thick and it's really smooth, I like vitamin E oil because it helps break down scar tissue, and I like naked oil because it smells amazing. But really, the actual massaging is more important than the type of oil you're using, so just use whatever you want!

I switch between jojoba and emu oil.
I only use joboba for taping.


Does anyone know about the suitability of safflower oil for ear?
I've got some nice bone jewellery I'd rather not slowly discolour. I have lots of safflower oil, and its clear.

Personally I use a vitamin E oil moisturizer that is meant for external use only. I am done stretching, it just keeps my ear happy. I have a lot going on with my ears as far as piercings.

Jojoba oil, since I can buy a big bottle of it and use it on my skin and hair too.
