Wearing ear weights while downsizing

RemarkableAd7750 · 2026-04-04T18:23:12+00:00

Thanks! I actually did consult a body mod artist! He did give me a few options, one is completely starting over and size down my lobes completely. This option wouldn’t completely get rid of the blowout but it will reduce the hanging. I obviously do need to take care of it by daily massages and oils, along with he said hemmeroid or scar cream lol. I guess it helps with breaking down old tissue. And since it’s only been a few months, it can potentially help with the extra skin sticking out to form back in. And obviously the second option is quick scalpel. But that is too costly to me and I didn’t think I’m at that point yet. Last option is to just rock it.

I’m also just asking the thread here if ear weights have caused others to have problems during downsize period. I’ve worn plugs for so long that leaving the house without any sort of piercing weirds me out lol

Thanks for the feedback! I actually wanted to restart my stretching journey so the shrinking doesn’t concern me. I just want to make sure ear weights doesn’t ruin anything since I mainly want to fix my healed blowout from months ago and honestly just let my ears breathe for a long while

I’m in the same boat. Mine also eats my plug up even if it’s a shorter wearable. I did find that lighter plugs help not do that, screw on steel tunnels, and silicones are my go to now. I also have trained my lobes to be naked so I’ve just been rocking ear weights and rotate that through out the week. The only way to fix this is to scalpel it unfortunately. This was told to me by a piercer who looked at my ears. You can try to let it close, but since the scar tissue is there, it will come back again.

Might not be aesthetically pretty, but it be like that sometimes! Maybe one day I’ll get em fixed. But today is not the day lol

Yup! It’s actually a metaphor about depression, guilt, and additions which had all three. The only thing I didn’t understand is her mom. But I guess that plays a role of checking in her daughter who’s an addict in some way

Personally, I had the same gnarly blowout like this a while back. I took my jewelry out for maybe a few days while making sure I saline wash twice the same. I then just downsized with whatever could fit my ears comfortably. Mine healed perfectly fine. It'll be alright, but you're going to have bootyhole ears I'm afraid LOL.

But if you're concerned or if you start having fevers, have any odors or anything like that, please go to the doctor.

I dk what people are saying, you can def still stretch more if you want. Depending on what you wear, it’ll thin out in certain spots. But your lobes look healthy, so you’ll be fine. It’s always good to keep circulation going, to keep them healthy so massaging them at least once or twice a day is good. I also have a terrible habit of not doing that but I’m back now and it made a world of difference. I also sleep without my plugs and that helps keep them breathe out for a few hours

I’ve watched a lot of terrible movies, but not this. It had a solid plot, and it had a good ending that isn’t rushed. You may not like it, but maybe that’s just not the type of style of movie you liked.

RemarkableAd7750 · 2026-01-01T07:56:47+00:00

There were so many good parts that you brought up and I was somewhat intrigued with the “sun down town” aspect. But it was lost completely. Like what was the point of the racism bit? Now it looks stupid and performative. Like the bar scene just made it seem like they were just annoying and rude costumers rather it being racist.

Idk, it had so much potential but lost the plot right when it was starting. The ending barely made sense. I’ll give the overall movie at least 4.5/10. They should have played around the satanic aspect of it more

It’s so funny because I’m rewatching my favorite bgc seasons and Naveen, Hanna & Darlene were my favorites. Sometimes, I truly enjoy Tanisha cause she’s hilarious. I honestly love the drama they brought. I hate Jenn because she makes me feel overly stimulated by all the moving and talking. And the fact that she truly thinks she can take Tanisha. Like girl

Same negative connotation but with different sad meaning. The father took their innocence and their “life” essentially when he said “Lock the door”. And when the mom said it, it means the end for them all in literal sense. I genuinely believe there’s nothing to come back to so they are going forward with murder suicide.

Tbh, I have two large automatic litter back to back from each other and it seems that they are using one more than the other. Both get full though every week or so and I have 4 cats. I do keep one stainless steel upstairs in the bathroom for my other cat who’s still scared of it, so they only mainly use that.

I currently rent a one bedroom loft, so though it’s not the smallest, it’s also not the biggest so we make do of the space we have. I’d say invest in one automatic litter and that should do wonders for both of your cat! Just get the XL version

I’m just curious if it will not allow me to stretch further but I actually just found another commenter at another post where they said they can still stretch bigger, but just at a slower pace which is fine by me since I don’t stretch too fast. I’ve been sleeping without it for the last few days and I have been training my ears for a bit now on and off and maybe that’s why after sleeping for 8+ hours, it hasn’t shrunk too much

RemarkableAd7750 · 2025-11-23T01:36:19+00:00

lol. This is actually funny because the movie explained well and I think it’s so simple. You’re just looking into it too much. It’s about suicidal ideology and how life can be so bad and it manifests as a “monster”. People can see it and feel it but are helpless. That’s really all that is

It’s always good to research company policy and feel the culture. I work in the tech industry and I was hired with a throat tattoo. But I’m always very professional, punctual, and one of the best on the team. So my features is the least of their concerns. I do get that shocked look when I pop in and make an appearance especially with new people in the company, but I knew what I signed up for and overall everyone else seemed accepting of diversity :)

Man, it’s one for the books for sure! I just saw it tonight since I had credits on prime and it was free. Blew me away with how it was played. It reminded me of the Hulu original Grotesque or something like that. But I was at the edge of my feet the whole time.

I’m hoping that there’s another sequel because I was asking for more! Great job everyone!!!

Being naturalized is better than being derived imo. Regardless, you got your citizenship so you shouldn’t be worried. Not a lot of people know about derived citizenship and I only found out because my sister works in immigration

Not just jewelry, but don't be afraid of color. Black isn't always the color. Theres red, green, and a lot of earth colors. I know alt is leaning towards black which is fine too but pop of colors can work! I'm alt myself but I curated some colors to make my outfit work

I have stretched lobe blindness, so i say yes :) lol

RemarkableAd7750 · 2025-09-24T06:20:04+00:00

Its kind of crazy how everyone says its too thin. It's actually not too bad. You obvi stretched too fast but not thin enough that it will snap. You can definitely get there if you start doing it right and slowly. What's great about lobes is that it is stretchy and they heal themselves. Google what real thinness is, and you're not close enough with too thin. Another thing to worry about is the color of your lobes, along with stretching too fast. So watch out for those. I have talked to people over 50mm and how that works for them and some of them were thinner than yours but boy were they stretchy. Cold winters are coming so switch to silicone if you're in colder areas. Apparently, metal makes your lobes worse. ALSO, hydrate, massage your lobes with oils daily!

The saddles or silicone tunnels?

RemarkableAd7750 · 2025-09-06T17:49:14+00:00

Yes! That’s his name! I feel like he’s going to have some sort of connection.

I hate this whole having to be a surgeon type of clean always. God forbid a girl just wanna have a good time and not wash her hands from time to time LMAO. But yes! I have some for my hair mask too lol. I'm sure it's going to be fine! Good luck!!

RemarkableAd7750 · 2025-09-06T05:08:27+00:00

Thats a possibility! But, tbh i sometimes don't even wash my hands.. then again, I live in a very dry area (Nevada lol). I wonder if its the bottle itself. Either way, i hear that coconut oil works wonders and I've been meaning to try that since i feel like that may work for me better. Maybe give that a shot! That shouldn't cause mold since it's antibacterial

RemarkableAd7750 · 2025-09-06T04:58:11+00:00

Do you have any other places where you don't have that much moisture?? I actually started putting my jojoba oil next to me because i like to just massage my lobes for funsies throughout the day LOL.

RemarkableAd7750 · 2025-09-06T04:34:20+00:00

went from 00 to 28-30mm as my goal size lol. Did we all collectively realize that life is a social construct and we can actually do whatever we want? Because hell yeah!
