So I've been at a 4g for almost 6 months, I've tried several times to stretch to a 2g and the tapers slide in perfectly with little pain; but I have trouble getting in plugs. I've tried stainless steel single flared tunnels and couldn't get them in..I kept trying every few weeks but no luck. Then I Tried again a few weeks after with amethyst plugs and couldn't get them in. Then today(about a month after the last try) I finally got in some silicone tunnels but my ears had a bad reaction so now I downsized back to a 4g. Not sure what to do here; anyone have similar experience or advice? Healing Time definitely isn't an issue I think I just have a shitty time getting plugs in:/ and I will wait another month or 2 until I try again.
