Hi,

I stretched my lobes to 6g approximately half a year ago and figured that I was ready to move up. I recently purchased a quality pair of 4g spring loaded CBRs but can’t get them through through the fistula. The ends, as you know, are very different from the standard CBR. I’ve tried twice in 4 days without any success.

Does this kind of jewelry require my lobes to already sit at a larger gauge or am I missing something? Is there anything else I could do?

Correspondence is appreciated!

The other thing you can do, is simply wait longer. As sometimes the body just needs longer time to become more relaxed and uniformed to slide another larger size in. If the jewelry isn’t going in, don’t force it. Massage your lobes in a warm/hot shower and even try to perhaps use some Vit. E, Neem Oil, Jojoba Oil based products, personally Neem Oil works very well on relaxing and loosening up my lobes.

Continue doing these two methods until when you gently tug down on the jewelry in your lobe and if you can see a little bit of light through the lobe, attempt to slide the jewelry through. If it does not work, give it more time.
