I took it out to clean when bushing my teeth, placed on the shelf under the mirror as always, I clean it after, and my wife decided that would be an awesome time to start cleaning the shelf. It fell in the sink before I could catch it. 💔I will admit I was absolutely heartbroken as it's my favourite one I own. She's just so pretty!.😭 But it will live on! I Contacted stonewolf, and Russell is going to use it in a Delrin piece! So I get to keep a bit of it. I won't be putting ANY of my more fragile ones anywhere but in my hands in future when I'm cleaning them! Considering guilt tripping the Mrs so I can order another one! 😅but I think I'll go for super skinny oval.. As I don't have that shape yet. And getting the same shape wouldn't be the same.. (If that makes sense?) My labret jewellery box will be moved to the bathroom I think, for safety purposes! Bloody sink! But Russel to the rescue! 💖 xx

Well I finally made it to my goal size (12mm/ 1/2" for all the freedom unit users) and thinking I might have to go larger at some point but currently I'm just stoked on making it to the goal size. I dead stretched with glass plugs and got some flesh tone silicone tunnels just because I could.

Was tiny and I lowkey wish I kept stretching. Now I just have the ring in last 2 pictures in. Which do yall like better?

I recieved a pile of used jewellery from a mate, and now I need to clean and sanitise it all. There is a mix of stone, metal and some acrylic, or similar plastics. The metal I know I can just boil for a bit to clean, but I'm unsure about the stone, plastics and all the Orings. I have some 99% isopropyl alcohol, but I am unsure if its OK to use on anything.

Looking for some advice.

nothing’s wrong I’m just looking for advice to start my stretching journey. I think the most I’d ever go is like 2mm (? im not sure what my kit has but it’s pretty small) idk let me know if you have tips or warnings🤷‍♀️

my septum is currently at 6g, and i’ve been wearing pincers with o rings constantly. and they are not loose, my septum and o rings never move. but last night i went to bed, with no problems. When i woke up, my o rings and septum pincer were under me, i felt it press into my back . i don’t even know how this happened. i’m a back sleeper and my piercing came out with the o rings and it magically went under my back 😭. i put it back in but god knows how long it was out for. it took a minute to get it in, it was very tight again. i’m sorry if this post is odd, i literally just woke up, and im a loon

Hey all,

sorry if this is a no brainer, I'm looking to start my stretching journey soon (dead stretching with glass plugs).

One thing I haven't read about in any guides so far - how do I sleep "during" a stretch? I read here somewhere not to sleep with the plugs in, but won't the lobes be back to the same size after an entire night, when the ear isn't used to the size yet?

Thanks for any input!

Edit: Thank you so much, your advice really helps me out alot! <3

(My dummy account had no karma so reposted with my proper account)

I am just curious how did it happen? Were they stretched too fast? Were they healthy and you had an accident? What exactly caused the rip and what was the state/health of your lobes when it happen?

So far, I only have 2 lobes on each ear. In the picture attached, the black dot is where I want to stretch to a max of 8g-6g. I wasn't actually sure if that spot was available to stretch, though, because I haven't seen it on many other people. The white dots are where I want 2 stacked lobes. Should I switch their placements?

I feel like I'm running out of room for piercing ideas 😭

Hey guys. So I just wanted advice and/or other people’s personal experience on this. I had my ears at 19mm until march 2024 when I decided to have them sewn up by a professional body modder (@xbrondecourx on instagram, phenomenal work) anyways, my ears are very healthy looking & have very faint scar lines on each ear that you wouldn’t noticed in passing.
For my right ear, the scar line is diagonal but for my left ear the scar line is straight up and down (that ear had some damage so it needed to get sewn differently). I got both my ears repierced evenly two months ago, but my left ear is pierced near the scar line. Has anyone safely stretched their ears back after lobe reconstruction, near a scar line? I told the guy I wasnt planning to restretch back in early 2024,but I probably want to start again in 2027. (Biggest I would go is anywhere between 8g-0g most likely).

New 00g 40mm Tigers Eye Spike. I wish it was a bit longer but like how subtle it is too. Wearing through kaos eyelet.

I bought a black onyx one as well that I will post later

Both purchased through Etsy.

New to stretching with questions

I've started stretching my ears, one is at a 5mm while the other is at 4mm (heals slower), I wait 2-4 months in between stretching but when I stretch it hurts A LOT but usually fades within a day. Is this normal?? What can I do about it, I did research and it just says im stretching too early, even though I'll wait months and im still at a small size?

I recently started using jojoba oil just 1-2 times a day, is there a specific way I should use it?

i love the snug septum hoop look, the smallest my nose fits is a 5/16, but i have a 6 gauge 8mm hoop in there now and i can live with that lol. problem is i can’t find a 4 gauge hinged hoop smaller than 10mm!

any clue where i could get one like that, or one of those cool magnet closure ones (in canada)?

So next month I'm finally about to reach 00g, but its been the goal to go bigger. I am struggling to find kits that are 00g plus, goal size would be around 25mm or bigger but if a kit is smaller I'd still be interested.

The kit that i had originally was the stretch it dead stretching glass kit

Context: not sure what I did wrong but after I stretched my ears to 8g, my right gauge fully went into my ear. I had to uncomfortably push it forward back into the hole. Now if I put to much pressure on that side the gauge fully goes in my ear and I keep having to pop it back😐. Messed up how my earring hole looks, you can see my right does not look like a circle while my left ears hole is circular. Any hope on saving? Any advice on how to help this is appreciated !

i got my septum pierced on june 5th, and i want to stretch to a 14g, how long should i wait? this is my first time trying stretching anything so any advice would be lovely :) thank you all!

I just started stretching 2-3 weeks ago, I’m doing the dead stretch method. I’m wanting to go to like a 1/2” 3/4” size

Edit: currently at a 14g

I only have one unstrecthed lobe piercing at the current moment but i plam to change that soon

I was just wondering if my lobe piercing looked to be in a good spot to stretch to 10mm if i get my seconds and stretch that to 5mm. (Lobe currently at 1.2mm)

The other two picture are plans for the rest of the ears (bad angles i know) if anyone has any opinions on that

I’d probably be at 00g by now but I kept 0g for awhile because I bought the wrong half size and never got around to buying the correct ones and I liked how 0g looked lol
