piercings, and keeping them happy.

silicone makes my ears smell like SHIT haha.

I got my septum pierced with a 12g... it definitely hurt worse then my prior one which was pierced at 16g.

Okay. I had heard rumors of silicon being the catalyst to the dreaded ear blowout.
I just sized up with a pair, I think my ears can take it.

I think a good rule of thumb would be to only stretch with single flare stainless steel or glass plugs. I would only wear silicon after a healed stretch. I am up to 1 3/4" sized plugs and i always stretch with stainless steel and PTFE tape. Hands down best combination there is.

definitely only wear silicone after healing!

SO I have a question regarding the vertical labret piercing aka angel kiss. I just got mine done about two weeks ago..and its like..trying to embed into my lip at the top hole (bottom hole is fine). I originally had a reg labret and noticed when I wore a stud...then same thing happened to the back of my lip. I would get that circle that never wanted to go away from where the flat back would lie up against my lip. I had even tried a longer stud and it didn't help. I eventually took it out and just got this one done. Im wondering...do I need a longer curved barbell then the one I have in? Would that help? Or would it just be the same as my old reg labret...and just worm it's way down and embed anyway. Argh. HELP!

my oral piercings always did that cause my teeth were pushing on them. my teeth pushed a lip piercing into a vertical lip piercing the body will always move and shift the piercing into whatever position is most comfortable for it. I'd just keep an eye on it to make sure the skin don't seal up over the jewelry leaving you with an implant instead of a piercing

someone suggested a longer barbell to me last night. i think ima try that

Does anyone have any pointers on keeping a clit ring clean?
I got mine done at a house about a year ago, but catch myself still having to remove the whole ring to clean off crust since it seems showers and ear swabs aren't doing the trick. I've searched around the net, but they aren't very helpful or convenient for me.

(Old thread, but I'm not going to start a new one for the sake of a question)
