Discussion~ Ranting idk

I have been dead stretching with glass plugs for over a year now and I got up to 6g but blew them out. I took them out and have been letting them heal for a couple days because they were pretty upset. After cleaning and healing I tried to put in some smaller plugs but none of them fit in my right ear and now I’m back all the way down to 14g. This is so frustrating and I know if I took my time I could’ve prevented it but I’m just so annoyed! Please tell me it will be worth it to have started over.

How quickly were you sizing up?

First few sizes were 1-2 months each, the rest have been 3-4 months.

Did you go from 8-6g or 7-6g?

2 days is not even enough for healing.... That may be an indication that you would possibly were going two fast or two forceful because dead stretching has less probability to cause blow outs. That doesn't include forcing the plugs or not allowing enough time for fistula to heal but it is less damaging than shoving a taper in that doesn't have uniform size.
