Oh my goodness! If you had a bad stretch then what hope do us not so careful people have!?

Hey everybody. I haven't been too active on the forums lately. Just been stretching slow like usual without any problems...until now...lol. So I've been waiting 2 months between stretches using tapers. I've been really responsible, my ears were healthy, blah blah blah.

I was at 4g for two months up ...

Your ear can get really irritated and inflamed if you can't get it out soon enough . There's tons of alternatives. A lot of good options have been mentioned in the thread already or you could find some jewelry that doesn't require plugs to stay snug. Good luck!

Does this happen to anyone else? My right ear is my stubborn one but it's taken to my latest stretch quite nicely with no problems. My left one, however, is sore and painful after last night. After my latest stretch to 8g, my left ear had no problems but I woke up today to find it in pain. I'm ...

lol it's not weird ...

I could see it not being able to hold it's strength very well and it might be really frustrating to keep it evenly layered around your jewelry. I use PTFE tape at small sizes and it's so cheap that I don't see why anyone would have to look for a cheaper alternative.

When I first started stretching the ear cheese was always there. I haven't gotten any gooey stuff on my plugs since I started and that was two sizes ago!

Yeah I think I'm just going to stick with my current routine using personal lubricant and forgoing the oil and massages.

I'm just so surprised how much difference a little bit of lube makes when inserting jewelry. My plugs feel so tight if I don't put any on and they go in like a hot knife through ...
