wha--

It supposedly helps the healing process when you stretch your ears.

it will also help them from getting infected

<-- fighting an infected piercing and it fucking sucks

you stretching your ears as well?

no, just got more holes put in my ears

I'm too much of a chicken to stretch them

ahhhhhhhhh because i was thinking you were injecting saline solution into your ear canal.

lols

hahaha, i never had my ears pierced and just got a 8gauge piercing right out of the gate, didnt hurt as much as i thought it would.

impressive

only one 8ga piercing & maintains a 14ga perma-hole in my septum

how bad did it hurt to stretch your septum?

if its stretched at all

i stretched it to 8ga and it would ache for a few hours, then be sensitive for a few days. at worst, it made my nose run and my eyes tear up

immediately, then fade as time went on. protip: never have a cold while maintaining a pierced septum

thanks for the heads up

gah i'm trying to stretch my ears from 7/16" to 1/2" and they

're having none of it!

(stupid enter key being next to the apostrophe..)

geeze, 1/2" ?! You're a brave soul. I just want to get to 00's (3/8"

yeah well that's the curse of stretching.. i thought i'd stop at 2... or 0... or 00... or 7/16"

True, I'm just REALLY not trying to pass the dreaded "point of no return". I'm gonna need these lobes to seal back haha

if I need to soak them every day.

with a fresh piercing, yeah

in fact I think ideally it's twice a day

but it's been a few years since i had a new piercing
