You really should stop recommending silicone for stretching... just because you do it doesn't mean it's a good idea. Sometimes people try to stretch with it when their ears aren't ready but it forces them up a size and they end up with torn lobes.
I like silicone every now and then... I have a pair of Kaos earskins that I love and a pair of solid Kaos plugs. I don't really like wearing the plugs very often at all because I feel like I'm putting a lot of stress on my ears when I take them out. But I usually don't keep silicone in my ears for more than a couple days at a time. It can dry out your lobes if you're not oiling them regularly.
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!
