hey all :]

so i'm currently at a 00g :D yay mee hehe.
i've never got into the whole massage your ear lobe thing, i mean i take them out in the shower to clean them however, but since imma be at this size for a while i figured might as well make my lobes look better then everrr!
i've read that emu, jojoba, and vitamin e oils are the most talked about in massaging.

which do y'all recommend?
...i'd just be using it as a daily massage type of deal if that makes any difference!

thanks!!

Any of them are fine, its mostly the massaging that does the most help. Right now I'm using jojoba on mine.

I personally prefer vitamin E oil for massages and emu oil for the actual stretching. Vitamin E is good for breaking down scar tissue but emu oil is a little thinner and IMO makes a better lubricant for the actual stretch. I've never used jojoba oil.

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!

I've been usin St. Ives swiss formula vitamin e moisturizer for both stretches and massages
The sound of gun fire so loud and rapid, but it seems to be so quiet around me, and out of nowhere I feel peace cover me. I reach down and reload my ticket home. The taste of cold steel on my lips, and a second later silence fills the January air...

I use holey butt'r now, which is great! Especially as I can't spill it everywhere :)
I'd use jojoba oil for fresh stretches though.
But I mainly used emu oil, cause it was free! Though it does sort of crystallise if its not warm.
Naked oil is meant to be great, but its always out of stock when I go to get some...

I hate coconut, even just the smell.
So, no :)
