A post about ear lobes.

[le_chien]

Yesterday my 9/16" glass plug popped right in my left ear! No pain or struggle at the entry! Magic! I love taping up so freaking much, because when I finally get to wear the pieces I've been eyeing for so long, it's incredibly satisfying and exciting 8D I remember when I first started stretching in early 2005 and I would stretch up every few weeks

Eeeee, conguratsuuuu! I haven't known what to use for lube, i've just been using the plainest, simplest lotion i can find, but since my jewelry [plugs especially] are still so small, it's so fucking hard, lol. my ears aren't ready for plugs with flares yet still, tho. what is this tape? and i imagine BAF carries that holey butter stuff? i shall look into thattt. i can't decide what size to do... i mean 4g was my goal and i reached that from 16g in just a few weeks and my ears aren't lookin' catassy, but the holes are still so teensy. plugs look way nicer when they're larger [and you can actually SEE them, you know] but. i kind of prefer hanging jewelry around the 2-6g range, otherwise i start feeling like it'll look overpowering... IDUNNO WHAT TO DOOOO
i wanna see all your jewelries. i've seen a lot cos you post pictures when you sell it, but i wanna see more! you find SUCH amazing shit. i should also try and sell the few tapers and smaller earrings i've got, hmmmmmmms.

I use Astroglide! It's slippery as SHIT and it's super safe and hypoallergenic! PTFE tape is also called plumbers tape, or thread seal tape too, and you can get it at Lowes or Home Depot or any big harwarey store like that. It's super thin teflon tape that doesn't use adhesive, so it's super gentle on sensitive lobes, like my bitchy lobes which are allergic to EVERYTHING AND AIR! I need to make a new jewelry post or something sometime, because I just sold/bought a crapload of new stuff :D You should post yours too! I love seeing collections! Oh hey, do you have your internet back now?!

[sub_terra]

Wait but what do you do with the tape?! put it around the jewelry to very slowly enlarge the diameter of your holes, or something??? D8 i don't think i have allergies to anything that i know of, which is awesome. i was just perusing BAF and next time i buy something from there i'll get some jojoba oil and some emu oil [to try both, u kno]. i also need to like... if i stretch any bigger, i can't really be keeping the tapers in all the time, it'll get too hard to sleep with. i've been using acrylic, which i know isn't very breathable at all so i'll use i guess steel or something for bigger stretches.. ::taps chin:: IUNNO i'm just babbling ok

[le_chien]

Yeah! I usually put one layer on every other day. It's a slow process, but totally worth it! Emu oil is AWESOME! People say it smells, but I don't think it does at all. I use it all the time for lobe massages! And I used to love jojoba oil....until I became allergic to it like everything else, though I think I'm just problematic like that. It's still super useful to have around to rub on organics though and keep them all hydrated and maintained! OH! I feel like I've seen a pair of bug in amber plugs around in the internet recently...I'll have to check my bookmarks for them. I'll link you to them when I find them!

i like yer icon. i want one too. :3

i got a little impatient and stretched to 2g this weekend (it'd been 2 months). oh man were my ears angryyy. the swelling finally went down and they stopped weeping. but they look so awesome now in my SF tunnels! YAY!

and HUZZAH FOR ART DUMPS. *jeluz*

[chiff_tan]

Hurray for ear lobes! :D

And man, those time plugs look totally awesome! :D I can't wait to see you wear them. (O, and btw, cute lj icon :3)

Well, now I have some lovely arts to brighten my day Wednesday since I'm predicting that I'm going to totally bomb my finals since I have the two hard ones in 1 day. ;___;

Now I must go back to studying Chinese and animal mating systems and hormones....D:

[le_chien]

I'm super excited to wear them :D My lobes can't stretch fast enough! I hope I can still do an art post on Wednesday...I just learned I have an exam at 4:40 and I may be dead tired...or really super pumped! We'll see! Omg animal mating systems...I'm learning those IN DEPTH down to penis shape and different positions! I had a whole lecture on teats the other day. It was crazy. You have to love animal majors!

[chiff_tan]

Hahah!
O animal repro systems.....I have some of that on my exams too! Sigmoid flexures?

[le_chien]

OH! And sorry I missed you on Friday :C I had to run to my stat class at around 11. Did you go?! DID YOU SEE THE INDIGO SNAKE?! Holy crap I almost died when I held him! Snake of my DREAMS!

Those are RIDICULOUSLY gorgeous! Oh my gosh, if OneTribe jumps on the bandwagon and offers a limited discount, I'm going to be so incredibly broke. But happily broke. OneTribe is too fantastic for words!

[theburntcereal]

When I saw those I thought of you and your new 9/16 wondersss.
