Soo, I just bought these 8g silicone plugs theyre double flaired. Ive been trying to get them in my ears for about a week now and They just wont go through. Any helpful ideas/tips on how to get them in? Ive tried searching the internet and everyone says how ‘easy and painless!’ it is.. but they all had larger Peircings.
Im starting to think that buying these were a bad idea for such a small gauge. :/ Help?
Those wee silicone tunnels are a bugger to get in.
Make sure your ears are AT the size you’re trying to get in. They’re not the best things to stretch with and can cause you a bunch of greif.
I’ve found that using little hemostats to pinch down one side of the flares and poke them into the piercing is about the only way to get them in easily.
Make sure you’re using a nice lubricant to get them in too.

I’m a tich late on this bandwagon, but I thought I’d comment anyway.
Try getting those suckers in after taking a hot steamy bath or shower. Your lobes will be so soft and supple, they’ll be smooth as butter to get any eyelets in. Don’t forget the lube! (I use tea tree oil or pure vitamin e oil).
