I cant seem to find an answer anywhere to this on here or the internet, but i feel like an idiot asking :/

I just went up to 6g after a month an a half, little pinching feeling and trouble getting the plug in, but not the taper, so all and all a good stretch I think. Question is how long should i leave the plugs in before cleaning them? and can i twist them?

I leave fresh plugs in for about 3 days before I take them out to clean them ( just clean them with plugs in for the first few days )- and Ive heard twisting is a myth and only irritates the lobe , so I wouldnt bother with that

Thanks, I've been hearing to many different numbers 3 days sounds fine to me. And im pretty sure twisting is a myth too, its been fine the 3 days ive had them in and ive twisted them everyday.

When I got my gauge in at a piercing place, the woman who put in my gauge said that twisting is a terrible idea and you are far better off moving them front to back once in a while after a few days of having the gauges in!
