What do you use as lube?

For your ear stretching? Pretty new at stretching, I mean I did months of research before actually starting and started around 3 months ago I'm currently at 12g. I've heard people use anti-bacterial soap, oils and other things. Just wanted to see what every one prefers since I'm stretching again soon and think I might need some lube for the first time. thank you!

I use Durex lubricant it is on water based and it's fine for me. I think it's should be on water base becouse it not remains nothing after use.

I don't use water-based lube because it made the plug I inserted after stretching STICK! It was bad. I use emu oil.

Jojoba oil.

You should also stretch right after a long and hot shower so it softens your ear and improves the elasticity.
CURRENT:
Left lobe: 5/8". Right lobe: 9/16"
Goal size: 3/4" (both ears)

RETIRED:
16g Snakebites(x2)
14g Septum.

SOON:
Snakebites again.

Emu oil! Jojoba is also good if the idea of emu oil grosses you out, haha.

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!

It is gross seeming at first. But I figure I eat meat and wear leather, not a big difference. It doesn't smell and helps heal super fast.

There are grosser things, like petroleum jelly, which is a byproduct of oil refining.

I use jojoba regularly too, and I like to use it on my body after showering. I am not a fan of vitamin e oil because it is so tacky. I have heard of people mixing jojoba and e oil together and having great results.

I take a vitamin e supliment daily too, it is good for skin that way too.

Re: What do you use as lube?

Yeah, I love emu oil. I was always afraid to use it because I've heard people say it stinks but to me it doesn't really have a smell at all. I prefer vitamin E oil for massages because it breaks down scar tissue, but I've always thought it was a little too thick to use as stretching lube. Probably because I just squeeze it out of the pills and don't buy the actual oil.
