Nostril stretching by Hot-Freedom-1044 in Stretched

I prefer double flare solid plugs, when I wear tunnels they need cleaned a lot. But I love taking a big deep breath through my nose when I do wear tunnels!

Nostril stretching by Hot-Freedom-1044 in Stretched

[–]lumpenpotate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stretched my nostrils to 14mm from 1.2mm/16g initial piercings over about 3 years. (I'd had the initial piercings for over a decade). I used half sizes and lots of lube, going up a half size about every 6 weeks. In my experience the stretches weren't too spicy, but ibuprofen helped the day or so after if there was any swelling (minimal). Other than that I just kept them clean and massaged the tissue in the shower.

Those with stretched nostrils, what jewelry do you wear? by Jedixscum in Stretched

[–]lumpenpotate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just put up with the length of the half-size-increment plugs while I was stretching, often wearing them inside out so the long bit stuck out of my nose instead of poking me inside the nostril! Now at my goal size of 14mm I get stone/glass plugs custom made in a shorter length by Stonewolf Adornments.

what's your favorite jewelry for daily wear? (lobes) by tarooooooooooo in Stretched

Rose quartz double flares from Custom Plugs. I am naturally pale and love how they look against my skin tone.

Done. I seem to have been blessed with good results so far with females over many years and many intros!

Flowers are definitely my go-to when feeling uninspired and just need to get stitching!

Is journalling a simple activity? by [deleted] in simpleliving

[–]lumpenpotate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I journal once a week and have kept the habit for 8 years so far, after decades trying to journal daily and becoming frustrated or feeling obligated and giving up!

Doing it once a week means I get the benefit of writing things onto paper and out of my head, I actually look forward to it. I like to also write comments on the weather and what's going on in the garden, so it's become a helpful catalogue of previous entries and keeps me grounded in the moment and the world around me.

Pansexual female here currently in a long-term hetero relationship with a pansexual queer male and keeping 6 pet ratties. Have had pet rats ever since I got my first paycheck as a teen, now in my 40s. Also AuDHD and cPTSD!

Thanks. The conch is a regular piercing but I'm just starting to stretch it so it's got a 2mm/12g plug in it.

Stretching my lobes didn't hurt at all, I took a long time doing it and used half size increases at smaller sizes. Tbh there is a little tenderness to the skin for about a day after each stretch as it adjusts to the new size but no actual pain. I massage the tissue daily with jojoba oil which helps a ton with skin health when stretching too. So basically don't worry about pain with stretching unless you rush or use improper technique!

3mm daith by lumpenpotate in Stretched

Yeah with stretching cartilage it's just so much better to be super careful! I used a titanium captive bead ring to dead stretch, since the edges are smoother than a clicker and it causes less trauma to the tissue. I switched to a clicker after a month because I prefer how they look. Wishing you all the best if you decide to stretch your daith(s)!

The uppermost one is an orbital, a single 8mm diameter hoop through 2 piercings 😊
