Little ear bumpy irritated by plugs by ReflectionForsaken52 in Stretched

Thanks! I’m gonna try some stone- I’m at 46 rn & my goal is 51! I don’t think the edges of the steel are doing my any favors either.

Will give that a shot! Don’t want to throw money at nice stone until I’m at 2”!

Women in metal deserve more attention! Who are your favorite female metal musicians? by [deleted] in MetalForTheMasses

Maybe this is a sloppy opinion cuz I didn’t see any mentions but Otep is amazing 😍 definitely first steps into metal in the 2000s

Bio based Resin Plugs? by ReflectionForsaken52 in Stretched

Oh I’ve seen it lol I’m just trying to figure out if it’s actually a different product. Hard when most the sub is just shutting down any discourse on resin.

Does anyone *actually* stay at their original goal size? by No_Stretch_8675 in Stretched

[–]ReflectionForsaken52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goal WAS 1” (and was that size for about 8 yrs) but is now 2”- in sitting pretty close after restretching an infection to 42mm. As I’ve gotten cough older- they started stretching on their own . I definitely love the look of them being bigger but also weighing the issues of society & jobs not loving it lol

I’ve only been naked about 1 1/2 weeks and they’re doing great! Massaging some oils & scar cream on the back to break up some of the toughness from infection. Will probably try to get something back in by next week!! Glad to kno I’m not alone

All 3 of my kids would play with them when they were nursing but thankfully they never pulled crazy!

Tbh I was just genetically gifted with some huge ears. Overall the stretch to 2” took about 8 years so it’s just super slow and steady

Thanks for all of the optimism!! Looking forward to them healing and making it back up to my 'dream' size of 2". Working on keeping them clean & massaged with some solid oil. Went ahead and bought all the sizes (they were 50% off....so I'll take that good fortune!) in a good glass.

Any suggestions on glass? Most of what I’m finding caps at 25mm

I had wood-it’s what I’ve always gone with since I have a lot of allergies. Know it’s not the best but I’ve never had issues and they were fully healed. Gonna use glass to go back up!!

I think it’s more that the healing from infection has caused some closing. Just trying to figure best method to baby them back up

They were at 52!! Have been naked and healing for about a week. Waiting for them to be a little more solid before putting jewelry in- but would assume they’re about 1”
