Jewellery in or out at night?

Do you guys leave your jewellery in at night or do you take it out?

And if it is to be taken out at night, how long should you wait after having stretched up a size?

Would it ever be possible for the holes to shrink/close up overnight ? I can't imagine so, but still believe I have read about it somewhere.... :?:

i leave them in at night, tho steel plugs tend to annoy me sometimes, but just keep some rubber ones in, i wouldnt take them out for a night if you havent had that size for over lets say 6 months, as it does shrink down overnight

I must find steel tunnels a lot more comfortable than anyone else because I quite like to sleep in them :O I also have 6g acrylic tunnel in my conch now, and I have discomfort with it at night either =]

Re: Jewellery in or out at night?

I leave mine in at night, but if you are able to leave it out it's a really good thing to do. If you want you can test it out; try leaving them out for a while during the day to see how long you can. Leave them out for longer and longer each day until it's the same amount of time you sleep so you'll know they won't close up too much.

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!

Good idea, cos I was thinking it must be good to give my ears a break + a bit of breathing time during the night...

I leave them out, at 1 inch they're way too uncomfortable, even silicone one.

I won't take mine during night. But as said by Nic, I too take my plugs during the day time at bath.
