I dont see anything wrong with stretching with ptfe tape or tapers especially if you do it right and use high quality material.bradykay90 wrote:Umn ok never stretch with silicone ptfe tape or tapers but any ways u dnt care about ur ears like u done stated only thing i can say is sea salt soaks or epsum salt hope ur lobes are going to come out even
Anyway to answer the question, theres really nothing, if you stretched with silicone, you made that decision, and honestly you should be fine as long as you clean them out daily. Cleanliness is very preventative for infection.

Re: Stretching with silicone
Its all good, I was just extremely confused as to how you were going to argue that taping with ptfe is bad, because that is by far the best at larger sizes, and tapers are the best at smaller.
