ive only been at 8mm for about a week or so now and off break i placed in a pair of glass plugs with a minimal flare (no pain) ...fri night i decided to take them out and put in a pair of synthetic amber plugs with a huge flare on both sides (mistake yea i know) using the button technique they honestly popped right with minimal effort...today is now sunday and i decided they have been in long enough but ding ding they wont budge...i made an attempt after a long hot shower with no positive results...my buddy says wait a few days then give it a shot with tons of lube n oil...my piercer says if all else fails jus grab some sandpaper and take down the flares to the point were they would pop right out my ears...
any solid advice from the community would be greatly appreciated

Re: df plugs stuck!!!
if your dont wanna ruin the plugs that you have in i would just take a breathe and leave them in. Sea salt soak as its apparent that your ears were strained in this mix and vitamin E them. Wait til they get loose and 'pop'. But there could be a better way them keeping them in all the time as i know thats not exactly good for your ears either. just my go at it though. rhymes.

I honestly don't care about these plugs I jus want them out as soon as possible im going to give it 5 more days then its sandpaper time...

Re: df plugs stuck!!!
try tugging and playing with them every now and again, when its time to take them out first take a shower, then get a q-tip slather it with lube pull on the plug just enough to get a lil space in between your lobe and the plug. get the q-tip and squish it against the wearable area of your plug to get the lube to come out, twist, tug, and rock the plug back and fourth then try popping it out. if not repeat with the backside of plug. good luck.

Re: df plugs stuck!!!
welp mission accomplished my left ear took a bit of work and ky lol but no blood no mess...my right ear on the other hand got a bit bloody in one spot but thank god i finally got them out!!! no blowouts which was my major concern...i guess i have to wait an extra 2 weeks to try and stretch to 00 which kinda sucks but its a learning experience and i have learned dont wear the df plugs to jus look cool at a party lol...time to kill a bunch of oj (vitamin c) and pop some zinc to help with the healing process...thanks to all who helped
