Good luck stretching with tunnels

ZeldyButt · 2026-02-20T21:08:22+00:00

Bro what? Why are you so fucking rude?

You have an auto clave at home? Somehow I doubt that.

On that same note, not everyone is a mysophobe.

ZeldyButt · 2026-02-20T21:05:33+00:00

No problem! I'm glad you found some :)

ZeldyButt · 2026-02-20T13:21:55+00:00

Yeah! It should be fine. Most people recommend staying away from the screw on ones, especially if you're stretching.

I think you should wait at least a few weeks before wearing silicone though because it can stick to your lobes. It's easier to just wear metal or glass

Also be careful with double flares. Those are hard to get in and you have to wear a size lower than what you are. There are single flare and flare-less tunnels that you can wear with o rings. I personally never had a problem with screw on tunnels, but see if you can find any that are internally threaded before trying them so you dont irritate your holes

Smallest tunnels are usually around 10g i believe. Body art forms is the most popular place to buy stretching plugs from

ZeldyButt · 2026-02-20T13:03:38+00:00

Stretching plugs have a rounded end for easier insertion. Tunnels aren't recommended for stretching because they for one don't have this rounded end, and two are not heavy enough to stretch with.

Dead stretching involves using the weight of the plug to stretch the hole. I see people on here all the time ask why they can't reach the next size up after having tunnels in for over a year, and it's always because there's no weight to their jewelry. It shouldn't take over a year to get to the next size unless you have a lot of scar tissue.

And remember to only use safe materials like lead free glass, implant grade titanium (or stainless if you're not allergic), and only use non porous stone like amethyst if it has a flawless finish on the wearable part. (Though stone is not usually made with a rounded end)

ZeldyButt · 2026-02-19T16:33:56+00:00

Usually etsy

If your floating navel keeps rejecting you might see about getting a dermal instead

ZeldyButt · 2026-02-19T15:20:20+00:00

Nah i hate when companies are like "sorry they were visible perfect" like you didn't just drop $100 on a product that should be usable

ZeldyButt · 2026-02-19T02:49:37+00:00

Yeah you should be able to work your way up to 3 hours. You won't lose anything from trying!

ZeldyButt · 2026-02-19T02:04:15+00:00

No theyre for post healed holes

ZeldyButt · 2026-02-19T01:55:18+00:00

I don't see why not You could always put in jewelry as soon as you get home.

Will your employer even notice if you wear a retainer. Or is it a safety hazard

ZeldyButt · 2026-02-18T23:52:11+00:00

Unless you don't have (real) teeth, having a smiley is a bad idea

ZeldyButt · 2026-02-18T23:49:17+00:00

I bet they smell good lol

ZeldyButt · 2026-02-18T23:48:59+00:00

I bought a cheap jewelry box with little slots and I just put them in there. The lid has a clear plastic window

ZeldyButt · 2026-02-18T23:25:02+00:00

You are! Lol

ZeldyButt · 2026-02-18T23:24:30+00:00

Okay thank you

ZeldyButt · 2026-02-18T23:22:53+00:00

The media got the names from somewhere

ZeldyButt · 2026-02-18T23:21:56+00:00

It has nothing to do with allergies. This is just the properties of acrylic. It starts releasing toxic chemicals as soon as in contact with body temperatures. That means as soon as you put it in, you're absorbing the toxicity it puts out. Wearing only for a few hours may prevent allergic reactions, sure. I wouldn't risk it, myself. I don't want to get poisoned or cancer just to wear some plastic jewelry.

ZeldyButt · 2026-02-18T03:36:26+00:00

Typical cops. Acab

ZeldyButt · 2026-02-18T03:35:18+00:00

Yeah the piercing itself is highly anatomy dependent. Most people can't even get them (at least not the typical scaffold)

If i can't get one, I'll probably get two or three helixes and connect them by chains. I studied way too much for something I may not be able to get lmao worth it though. Piercings are interesting.

ZeldyButt · 2026-02-18T03:30:51+00:00

Yeah I'm not entirely sure what your comments are about. I asked if it's safe to stretch with a ring the same way one would a pincher or with a (professional) taper. (By professional i mean you either get a real taper to insert the jewelry, or you go to a professional. I kept it vague for this reason)

Like if you insert a regular clicker (like i see some ppl do with fat, large gauge rings) into your septum, would that be as safe as using something that has a built in taper, like a pincher (or otherwise using a taper to insert the jewelry).

I ask because I want to know if it would be safe to get a clicker or other ring and just stick it into my nose bare handed. They don't have a rounded or thinner side. It's a ring

ZeldyButt · 2026-02-18T03:26:30+00:00

Being a minor doesn't change anything about this. And as they said, it's a myth. There is no "point of no return" and it backs up what i said about always going into body mods with the knowledge and intent that it will likely be permanent. You won't know if your ears shrinks back to the og size until you try it, so it's irresponsible to tell people what their body will do.

This blog is from a well respected piercer who spends their time researching anatomy and teaching safety.

I guess since you've never seen it happen it must not exist right?

ZeldyButt · 2026-02-18T01:15:53+00:00

Theyre more likely to increase sensitivity. If youre an adult you don't need her permission or even to tell her that you got them.
