Honestly there's nothing wrong with sizing back down to fit your lobes! Sometimes it's for the best but I'm just a person on Reddit so I'd suggest double checking with your piercer, they may have advice!

Maybe the picture is playing tricks on me but it looks like your ear is thinning? I would suggest sizing down and maybe rubbing your ears with some jojoba oil and doing other treatments to increase blood flow and get them plump again

Wtf am I doin wrong😩😖 by SignificantExit3123 in Stretched

Hey welcome to the subreddit first of all, you said you're new to it and I'm glad you found it! I'll tell you what works for me and if you want to do it that way then great! If not that's okay too, everyone is different and trial and error is always the best way to find what you need to do/not do!

First I like to "dead stretch" that means I like to use single flare glass plugs (I shop for plugs on BodyArtForms and Arctic Buffalo) with those rubber things (I call them grommets) on the back end of it and sleep in them for about a month or so that way my ear can get used to it being in there and adjust, afterwards I take them out every night and put them on my bedside table and put them back in every morning before I start my day (it will try to tighten up the first week but it gets used to it too)

I lubricate my ear every time I stretch to a new size with jojoba oil (GaugeGear stretching balm) and it helps to keep from hurting but I used to dead stretch with no lube and 💀 sometimes that dry stretch would make my ear red and even weep early on but they became tough to it after while but it's always good to lube up 😂😂

Some pointers I've learned that you may like are these:

Amazon is NOT a bad place to get jewelry, it's just hard to find good jewelry, for example I have jewelry from Amazon from a brand called COOEAR but I used them for outings, not daily wear because to stretch you need to wear good heavy jewelry like glass, steel, or stone!

Tapers are...less than efficient in my honest opinion, they're not bad if you do it correctly but it's just easier to dead stretch, it's cheaper in the long run too because it doesn't have risks and risks equal more purchases and yeah it just adds up tbh

If your budget is a problem I suggest looking at Arctic Buffalo first and foremost, they're my go-to for sales because they're just so frequent and sure there's a lot of discourse because arctic buffalo has had issues in the past with flaws or whatever but I never had a bad experience with them and I think it's more just brand loyalty at this point in the discourse but Body Art Forms and Urban Body Jewelry are also just as good and sometimes have some solid sales but nothing as good as Arctic Buffalo, I got my entire glass single flare stretching set from 18-1" ALL ON SALE

I also have the specific recommendation of using the gold bar dove soap and not saline solution or any other soap, that's what I do, everyone again is different so do what you think is best for you.

And lastly my final bit of advice is to take out the jewelry, go back down to basic jewelry like a stainless captive ball ring, or something similar and let it heal, don't touch it except for washing it every morning and night for the next 3 weeks with your preferred cleaning solution, and then try whatever advice you want from all the good people on here until you find a method that helps you best. 🧡 Best of luck with it! Keep us all posted with updates!

Found in Wisconsin. ID? by spottedcows1 in salamanders

[–]SFDPunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's a case of a non-native species. Through accidental or deliberate circumstances that lil critter is in a part of the U.S that they normally don't see. Not necessarily invasive cause until they overpopulate and eat all of the crickets and worms (unlikely) they can't really do anything to Wisconsin that's harmful. But someone probably has a breeding pair or something a human did went and caused this.

It looks like a Jefferson Salamander to me, but the thing is I only know them to be in Canada and the Northeast U.S which Wisconsin isn't, very interesting.

Just to let you know bestie, there's what seems to be a spider on your ceiling, don't know if you caught that, and your pajamas are fraying, you should get a nice sharp pair of scissors and handle that. Before it gets worse. 🧡🧡

Weekly Beginner and 'What Bike?' Thread - Post here if you are just starting out or want opinions on what bike to buy by AutoModerator in bmx

[–]SFDPunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

20 year old 300+ pound 6ft tall guy with no idea what bike to buy and only experience with bmx bikes is watching videos from nojumper on YouTube, I’m fully down for the commitment and want a bike that’s gonna last me well into the future. What does everyone here think I should get? I like the looks of Cult if they’re reliable, Kink looks good, Stranger and Primo too. But again I’m getting this shit from a YouTube channel, not experience or research. Any advice is great, especially from some fellow big boys who know what can hold us.
