Can plugs get stuck?

Hey, I've have my ears at 2g for a while, and last night I put in my 0g double flared plugs because my 2's were falling out and my ears felt real gooshy and pretty much ready. So I used a 00g taper because of the flares and got em in pretty easy but my right ear feels a little swollen and the plugs feel like they are in there kinda tight. I am just curious, will my ears over the next little while get a little more give and stretch? I'm going to do a sea salt soak tonight. Has anyone had any experience with this? I am just concerned about the flares because they extend to 00g, if I need to get them out, I don't want my ear to rip!!

Thanks a billion!! :)

If you can't get them out leave them in for a couple more days gently tugging on them periodically. If you can get them out I'd go back to 2g and get some non-flared tunnels or somethin and use those instead.

try to tug and twist from time to time, and try to take them out after a shower, maybe some oil will help too.

good luck!

I twisted them every so often, and they come out now!! Sea salt soaks did wonders with un-angering them. :)))
I was just getting paranoid they they never would come out lol. Thanks!
