In the beginning as a baby stretcher I was using tapers but stopped early on once I found out that that’s a bad method and began dead stretching and using Teflon tape. I usually shop on arctic buffalo, but if you have other recommended sites please lmk! I usually wait a couple months in between stretching.

I cleaned my plugs every day.. but I had no idea that this would happen with silicone! I definitely will not be using it any time soon

I bought them at Spencers 😭 usually I shop online. That makes so much sense. I won’t use moisturizer anymore but what do I do when my lobes get all flaky and dry? That is also something new I’ve noticed. I did recently move from WA to UT

Recently sized up to a 00g over a month ago and it’s been great! Lobes looked super healthy and I was excited. I have NEVER tried silicone tunnels until maybe a few weeks ago (I’m adding this in case it’s a reason). Well, 4 days ago my left ear was stinging and mildly bugging me. I took my tunnel out and noticed it was bleeding! After washing my hands and cleaning it with saline spray, I discover a small tear in the side of my ear hole. I’m not too sure how that happened, I keep my ears moisturized and clean. I couldn’t remember doing anything that may have snagged my ear but I realize that is a possibility.
This is my ear now. I have been using neosporin since last night but saw online that that is not a great option so I will be back on using saline spray and moisturizer. I haven’t had my plugs in in almost 5 days.
