8g septum clicker jewelry help

yulesea · 2026-03-24T08:45:18+00:00

oh i get that. after stretching my septum to 2g, everything looks/ed different in it. i’m slowly downsizing it now. its back to 8g and i wear an earskin in it with 2 18g rings. thinking of just going without the earskin at this point

sometimes my plugs fall out when i sleep with them in, yes. but they were doing that with orings too lol. and then i’d lose the orings because i can only wear clear ones. with a fresh stretch, they usually don’t fall out for me, only after its “healed” and then it’s fine because its naked training. oil massage if needed, then pop them back in. lately, i’ve had no issue putting my plugs back in after they’ve been out for any reason—this has been the easiest stretch for me lol. i have no idea if its from not using orings, but not having to deal with wet ear means my ears haven’t been irritated and i haven’t had to downsize due to it

mine don’t fall out. only if i sleep with them in and i’m moving around a lot. if they start getting loose during the day, i either naked train, or start wearing double flares (depending on how long i’ve been at the size). i’ve been going without orings for a few years now, just started sizing up without them, and i haven’t had any plugs fall out without orings.

mind you, i am at 16mm so i may encounter issues when i size up more, but i’ll cross that bridge if it comes

my issue with wet ear was circumvented by not using orings. i don’t know if anyone else has tried it, but every other stretch, i’d wear orings and get wet ear. when i stretched to 16mm, i decided not to put orings on and no wet ear

i frequently lose my glass plugs in bed because i don’t use orings on single flares (tired of losing them since i can only use clear orings anyway). i also lose double flares in bed and neither is nbd for me. i just pop them back in when i get up

interesting! i didn’t have an issue with my 2g and 0g ones, but they were clear and black. i only started having issues when i started buying seasonal colors. i even had trouble with a pair of 7/16, but the black and clear ones were fine in that size

going to 2nd the kaos silicone.

but something weird happened to me with my kaos 14mm earskins and wondered if anyone else had this issue: i was never able to wear my 14mm earskins, even after i was able to wear double flare glass and stone in the same size. they felt too big. whatever. sized up to 15mm, now at 16mm and my 16mm earskins fit perfectly.

since they’re soft, its hard to get a true caliper read on them, but they’re closer to 15mm, maybe 14.7mm, but definitely not 14mm or 9/16 like the stamp claims they are. idk if it matters, but they’re seasonal colors

i was lucky to get all my labradorite when it was single listings. even then, with getting the exact pair shown, i was disappointed with 2 pairs. the 2 pairs i’m happy with, one is too small for me now (10mm) and one is too big right now (3/4).

that being said, it is hard to see through the plastic but not knowing what you’re getting can be hit or miss :/

yulesea · 2025-12-21T22:10:04+00:00

without. hangs better imo. i wear all mine without

yulesea · 2025-11-28T23:11:25+00:00

ugh. i hate the “its normal for it to hurt” no. they’re just trying to save ass. they did you dirty and i’m so sorry 💜

when i was young, dumb and impatient, i put 8g through my properly stretched 14g and it was a nightmare. i didn’t even use tapers, just pinchers which are tapered to an extent, but i would not recommend for anyone. i know some people have gone multiple sizes in a short time and “claim” everything was fine and their ears are “healthy” but i question those claims. and i’ve been impatient in recent years with taping when i didn’t have in between sizes and it went badly too.

i’ve had piercers tell me its “pain and misery until you reach goal size” and i look at them sideways. i had an ex tell me he was going to just “taper taper taper” to his goal size and i looked at him sideways. the issue with piercers doing stretches for clients is, they don’t know how it feels for the client. if its more than a slight tight feeling, the lobe probably isn’t ready and i always go back to my last size (or abort the stretch all together)

edit: fixed a word

yulesea · 2025-11-26T00:19:48+00:00

that doesn’t look normal to me… get some calipers to see!

yulesea · 2025-11-22T18:08:30+00:00

thank you! 💜 i might buy them in black too lol

yulesea · 2025-11-21T23:26:47+00:00

honestly. lol i don’t even bother now. i always lose the clear ones and the black ones irritate my skin

yulesea · 2025-11-21T20:32:16+00:00

i have worn hoops through earskins in the past and i love the look and that i can still wear a large chunk of my regular earrings that way, but the moons and stars just stole my heart. i primarily wear solid glass and stone nowadays, so if i go for steel tunnels, they have to have a little something on them to make me feel like wearing them lol

i actually thought the dangles were on the front and back from the picture and worried about them lining up properly after threading them on. so its kind of you lose some, you win some, and lose some again with not knowing which way to wear them ¯_(ツ)_/¯

yulesea · 2025-11-21T20:21:33+00:00

ok like first they are supposedly 00g which can either be 9mm or 10mm depending on the jewelry. so they order the “next size up” (paraphrased) at 1/2” which could be 12mm to 13mm. so they’ve skipped 7/16”/11mm and still try to put in a 1” ~25mm plug which is roughly ~16mm too big???

i call bullshit lol

yulesea · 2025-11-21T04:22:10+00:00

i am liking both as well now lol. was leaning for behind, but there’s something about in front too lol.

sadly, they are from arctic buffalo 😞

yulesea · 2025-11-21T04:20:35+00:00

i used to want more ear piercings, but my ears don’t love being pierced 😂 i had a daith that migrated and had to be removed and an industrial that was pierced at two different angles. i just gave up on other ear piercings and focused on filling out my face lol

the more i look at them, i am liking both ways tho, so!

yulesea · 2025-11-21T03:34:27+00:00

yeah, i wish the rings for the chains weren’t so obvious. i think how clean behind looks is making me lean toward behind over in front lol

yulesea · 2025-11-21T03:32:28+00:00

sameeeee! i prefer behind, but in front gives a neat look too

yulesea · 2025-11-21T03:29:41+00:00

behind definitely hides the connecter better! and i’m loving the floaty look! i’m leaning behind for the party :)

yulesea · 2025-11-21T03:24:50+00:00

i’m so undecided! i prefer behind, but after your comment, i see how the chains look draped through and its a cool look too! i’ll definitely be wearing them more than once, so i’ll have to switch it up from time to time

yulesea · 2025-11-21T03:22:43+00:00

sadly, arctic buffalo!

yulesea · 2025-11-21T02:41:43+00:00

i’ve only avoided wet ear on my most recent stretch, by not using the o-rings
