Recently, I been trying to stretch my guages from a '0' to '00' and everyone keeps telling me that jump is going to be the most painful. So, since I don't take kindly to pain, I purchased some tapers for the stretching from one site and some "skin healing" oils and ear stretching balm. The tapers come first, thinking, what the hell, stretched them before with just regular lotion, shouldn't be any different now. Put them in, almost went all the way. Cool. I go to sleep, take a shower and try to push the rest of the way. It goes. Yay. No tear, no problem just soreness. (that's what she said ) anyways. Couple days pass, do signs of swelling just the normal soreness but finally the balm comes in the mail. I thought, maybe it'll heal faster. I lube it up, slips on nicely. Couple days later, its swelling like a mother fucker and hurting like hell. I take it out and some weird crystallized shit is crusted around the lobe... Never happened before. I'm sad now. So close to getting my lovely '00' now I'm probably back to 2's after the swelling goes away.... What have a learned? If it worked before one way, why try a different way.... Fucking lobe lube. I feel naked now =-=*
