I've lost 2mm in my stretched lobes over the last two days, because my immune system is fucking around and my piercings have all gotten grumpy.

I was at 14mm (9/16") heading to 15mm, and now I'm back to 12mm (1/2").

😕

That can happen?? That sucks 😞 how often do you stretch?

@An0n - I dead stretch with single flare glass plugs, and wait at least 3 months between (longer if they still feel tight).

Although, aside from this set back I'm having at the moment, I'm also having a hard time getting 14mm double flares to fit even though I've had my 14mm single flares in for over 18 months now and the lobes usually feel loose and stretchy around them.

@aby

I had a similar issue going from 10mm to 11mm in my septum.
I got the smallest flare I could, but it seemed I had to stretch to 12mm just to get the double flared tunnel in.
My lobes are at 9mm, but I'm impatient so Im doing every month (if they feel okay to do so) 😅
Good luck!

@aby damn, sudden realisation that when I had 20 and 10 sleepers in my lobe piercings, it felt like it was playing up when my immune system would go off. Hadn't occurred to me to make the connection at the time when I had em.
@morachbeag - it's my first sign that something is challenging my immune system.. they just feel a little irritated.
@aby oh, I'll have to let my husband-to-be know about this connection! Thank you so much for posting about it. I hope you're okay💜🫂💜
