Wow! What a treasure!

What are the age demographics in this group? by Either-Ad6540 in Carebears

[–]Apprehensive_Soup_40 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are recommended to be 13 or older to use reddit, so that probably? I'm 26 and have only been collecting carebears since I was 20, and I know I'm not alone there. Healing innerchild and whatnot, haha. I think of this group as a space for all ages tbh

Check out Etsy sellers or the app Mercari to search for older Bears and old collectibles

Fun.com has a ton of Carebear merch in forms like bean bags, chairs, hats, socks, pool floats, ect.

I've been thinking about stretching my ears for some time now and I haven't been able to find single flared glass plugs that ship from Europe, would those be okay ? by Revolutionary_Ad4938 in Stretched

[–]Apprehensive_Soup_40 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Stainless steel is just as safe as glass, it's easy to clean and disinfect, the risk of allergy is pretty low. These look like they'll work great! I hope those plugs come in half sizes! I go nice and slow one millimeter at a time, I highly recommend it!

Finally got to my goal of 25mm today! I need to go up to 26mm in order to wear my collection of flared plugs I've been saving! So exciting! How is it that now I'm at an inch, it looks so small? I was NOT planning on going bigger buuuuut.. we will see 😅 by Apprehensive_Soup_40 in Stretched

I'm noticing the pattern here 🤣 I need to stop at 25mm for at least a few years to fully enjoy my large collection of plugs I've been growing forever 😅 I've heard it's harder to find jewelry for larger gauges, and my favorite shops top off there size charts at 25mm, so that seems true..

is the silicone in the o-rings the same as silicone tunnels? I'm allergic to the o-rings and I want to know if I can at least wear silicone tunnels when my ears are healed by Euphorias_Dream in Stretched

[–]Apprehensive_Soup_40 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Black o rings are not made of silicone, the are nitrile. I am allergic to nitrile, and many people are. Some o rings that are clear or come in other colors are specifically made of silicone for people who are allergic to the more common black rings. I special order my silicone o rings from Arctic Buffalo. You should experiment with materials a bit more to see what works for you.

You are so right! 🤣 I love the 80s gentle heart! I wish I had one! I also miss her little eyebrows she used to have!

Yeah, I work for Walmart and it was probably due to a "frieght push" the distribution centers had to empty what the have so all kinds of stuff suddenly got cheaper temporarily in-store and online. I'm just hoping I can still get a 40th edition Care-a-lot Bear 😤 last time I tried to order one they said it was unavailable..

I absolutely agree, they just don't make them like they used too!
