I just stretched my ears, the plugs won't fit. Help from someone who knows !


Question: I just stretched my ears, the plugs won't fit. Help from someone who knows what they're doing please?
Alright, I just stretched my ears up to 1/2" two nights ago. The tapers were a bit stubborn going in at first, and giving me a bit of resistance, but I slowly worked them into my ears using a lot of baby oil and neosporin. They bled at the initial shock of the tapers sliding all the way through, but have been fine since. After the tapers went through, I tried to put in my black Kaos Software 1/2" silicone tunnels, which I could not get to fit for the life of me. Are my tapers not big enough? My ears are very sore, I just want to leave then alone right now, but leaving the tapers in isn't doing me any good at all. Can someone help? I haven't tried to get to silicone softwares in since I first stretched them a few nights ago. What should I do?

You shouldn't wear any silicone jewelry in a fresh stretched or pierced piercing hole, it can get stuck in the ear because it is an adhesive material and the ear can swell over the jewelry. Silicone tunnels are really flexible, so think about it, wearing flexible jewelry like that in a fresh stretched lobe will most likely not be able to maintain the stretched size because it is a bendy material. Leaving in the tapers is a good idea so your ear lobes will be used to the new size, but leaving tapers in after 2 or 3 days is not really healthy for your ears, you should buy some plugs.
Also, some tapers are not the actual size of 1/2", actual 1/2" tapers are supposed to be 12.7mm, but some places only make/sell 12mm, so that might explain it.

5/8" ear lobes

I would try leaving the tapers in for a bit. Do you have other plugs/tunnels besides the silicone tunnels? I wonder if they might be a little big, i know some tunnels are measured by the size of the tunnel hole and not the tunnel themselves. I would try another set of plugs/tunnels until you can get the ones you have to fit.

how about going au natural?
Leave your ears alone!
Take out the tapers& let the holes you inflicted on you body close.
...mmmmmmmmm....... could be a sign dontcha think?
