Hmmmmm. Question time again. 6mm-7mm stretch?

[Big Chicken]

Right - another update!! I've just got a 7mm insertion pin (not sure what the difference between this and a taper is - they look more or less the same?!), and a 7mm tunnel. I guess I could have waited and done a dead stretch, but not keen on that idea. I also could have had a go with tape etc but wasn't really sure about that either. It's weird - 7mm tapers are really hard to get. I'd be a bit worried about a 2mm stretch in one go. Perhaps I'm being a big chicken about it. Will probably wait til the end of the month and see how it goes then!

Still not really sure what my final goal size is. Might get to 8mm/0g and have a rest from stretching.

Also, on another note, I give my ears a bit of a massage in the shower, but don't use any oil or stuff or massage them out of the shower. I know quite a few people do, but does it really matter if I don't?
