Ok so I have a problem: stretching from 4g to 2g and the taper goes through easily enough, a bit of stinging, a bit of pain, nothing big. Except, when I do the recommended method of inserting a plug in (stick it agaisnt the taper and push) it doesnt go through. It's one of the tunnel plugs and what happens is that it can go through but nearing the end of the hole, skin covers the plug, blocking it, preventing the plug to go fully in. What can I do to fix this? I'm currently wearing my taper, I know it's bad but, I lost one of my 4g plugs.

Try stretching with a rounded plug, or use some type of lube/oil (which you should be doing anyway) and try to put the plug in after a long shower.
I'm Lindsay.
I have 1/2" lobes and 11 piercings: left helix x2, both conches, both nostrils, septum, navel, and VCH.
My lobes are small but I know a lot about stretching and how to do it safely, so message me if you have any questions!

The next to last one.

I got them in, I left the taper in for 2hrs and the plug slid in without much effort.
