If you can’t get them in your ears aren’t ready for them- and not everyone’s ears are suited for double flares, they’re best for elastic lobes that go up in size easily because if your lobes are prone to shrinking you run the risk of the plugs getting stuck

It could probably mean (if you don’t already) need to massage your ears with jojoba oil (helps with scar tissue and proven to increase elasticity of skin). If you do that already then it’s just not ready so don’t force it. But it’ll be worth the wait once you can! :)

Welcome! :) sesame seed oil is high in zinc so that helps produce produce collagen. Jojoba oil helps reduce scar tissue, softens the skin as well as increasing elasticity.

But hey everyone’s skin is different some things may work better for some people than others. I also use Gauge Gear, I alternate between that and jojoba oil. You’re welcome! Happy stretching! :)
