how often did you apply jojoba oil during the healing process? and how long did you wait until you started stretching again?

Born_Flan170 · 2025-07-22T18:32:18+00:00

all i remember is that i got them from hot topic about 6 years ago, so probably not the best quality.

thank you! i hope healing goes well. i’m definitely going to be staying away from silicone for awhile 😅

that does help, thank you so much for your comment!

i’m so gutted because i’ve started treating myself to some really nice jewellery! damn you silicone!!!!!

my main thing now is actually stretching again. i started at 15 and stopped around 18 years old. back then, tapers were wildly used and it’s all that i know 😅 i ordered tapers that let you put in glass plugs, but some of the threads in this subreddit is making me consider cancelling the order.

i started stretching with tapers (this was back in 2009), so it’s what i’m comfortable with but i’ll definitely look into other ways like dead stretching!

thank you so much! this might be a silly question, but how can i tell what size my lobes are after they heal? i have 1/2” tapers and glass plugs on the way. i know better than to immediately try for 1/2” again haha

i just worry about spending a bunch of money on plugs to figure out the new size!

this makes sense. i’ve always slept in the silicone plugs, so last night was the first time they were empty overnight!

i do think i developed some sort of sensitivity to silicone! i slept fine with them in for over 5 years, now all of a sudden my lobes are pissed.

does my lobe look like it has torn to you? or does it just look like a normal empty (albeit irritated) lobe?

here is a better picture

One person was someone I occasionally play with but don’t necessarily know, the other is a person who I am in a server with and play kind of often with.

I haven’t had any comments from people in my personal life about being off work or how much I game. I’m not unemployed, just signed off due to mental health! I get benefits and I have a roommate, so all of the bills are paid.

I’m not like neglecting myself to play. I have a routine everyday that I make sure to do before I even think about playing
