argh. flesh tunnels. and holes in ears..

i used to have mine at 8mm and apparently 8mm is the highest you can go without the streching to your lobe being "irreversible" or whatever.
but anyway i lost both of my plugs once, so just decided i didnt really want them anymore anyway, so left them out and hoped that they would close up (after thinking 8mm was okay). they have closed up mostly after about 5 months but i reakon i could still get 5mm in there, which is a bit not good.

anyway. does anybody know if they will close over time? or does that technique of actually just "lowering" the tunnels by mm work?

say if i put 5mm in now, then after a while put 3mm , then 2mm? would that actualy work at helping it close up properly?

i had 0g and decided last fall to remove them. they are now closed up!

just take them all out and lt them heal on their own, they should with time.

ohh 0g is 8mm i think isnt it?
thats good to hear
did you have yours in for a long time?

i think i had mine for about 2-3 years, which probably isnt a good thing, i imagine the longer you have them the less likely they are to go back?

mine were in for about 2 years. they've healed quite nice.

well im at a 00, when i take them out they close up rather quickly, i have had them for 3 or 4years now, i guess going down might speed the process. ive been thinking to get rid of them but i think how long it has taking me to get this far so, im torn

i can understand your concern cause i asked me self the same question a while ago

haha yeah. the bloody pain. didnt you think the first few mm's are the most painful (i kind of liked the pain though? aha) then the larger you get you dont really notice it hurting as much when you stretch again, it just BURNS?

i didnt really know whether to take mine out or not either as i had these amazing plugs that had bluebirds on, then i lost them. they were the only reason i kept the tunnels, birdy plugs

i guess they might look a bit odd when you get well grandparents old aswell, wrinkley with holes in the body.. scrummy!

thats good to hear about yours bryan (y)

*hopes mine close soon*

yeah i know what ya mean, the pain was horrible, i remember when i was gauging to 00 my right lobe got infected like 4 times i almost gave up, i secretely liked the pain too jejejejeje your plugs sound neat its soooo you btw, i wanna pair of obsidian plugs, but im broke so i cant get them

they look like this

mine used to be 14mm. I took them out in Feb. Even though they have shrunk they are still about 4mm. I doubt they'll get any smaller as i went from a normal earring size to 4mm in one go.

you could try bio-oil or Mdermer (sp?) to try and tighten the lobe??

Lowering the gauge won't work because eventually, the lower you get, they just fall out.

Mine were 00g when I was ~20 years old (25 now) and I was told that going past 3/4" would make it so you would always have stretched out lobes. Even going to 00g, I still can fit an 8g ring in my ears, but the holes are closed enough to look like normal piercings.

Incidentally, I had my septum pierced when I was freshly 18 (the October following my birthday actually), and I only ever wore jewelry in it for about a year yet the hole still remains to this day and I can fit a 12g ring inside of it. Neat! I also have a frenum hole that won't close as well. Kinda interesting and definitely a gag for parties, that's for sure. I can't tell you how many people I have freaked out by randomly running things through my nose. They actually think I've gone and pierced myself right there.

Edit: Forgot to really add some helpful advice. I dunno, I would suggest massaging your ears with cocoa butter. BTW - If your ears ever got "infected" during your stretch, it wasn't an infection most likely. It was you rushing the stretch and tearing your skin, thus having to re-heal the skin tube inside. This causes additional scar tissue and the more scar tissue you have, the less likey you are to revert back to a normal size because scar tissue is more rigid and less malleable than normal skin.

bookstore i had mine at 10mm and then it out. i'd only had mine stretched for maybe like a year? and they went back to normal (almost) within 2 months. are yours back to normal yet?

I think that works with stretched sphincters and butt plugs, unsure about ears
