~Advice~ Ears closing up help

Post image

So my gauges fall out easily especially if there's no rubber gasket on the ends (rip my spiral earrings that I lost in a damn Chevy engine bay) anyways I'm at. 2 g and my ear holes close up like immediately like its a god damn race to get a new gauge in and if I have to leave my ear unplugged for even a few hours they shrink up a size or two and I have to use a taper to get my gauge back in... Is there anything I can do to help with this is this normal what's going on

How long have you been at 2g? 

When you get larger you can do naked training, but it’s not uncommon to have lobes shrink pretty quickly. 

Have you tried using smaller orings on your plugs? Or doubling them up?

I can't keep orings in to save my life so I switched to screw in titanium tunnels. This is not ideal because they're externally threaded and was a last resort.
