    ear cheese is fairly common; it's just a build up of skin oils and cells. Yeah, basically, just clean those plugs often. If its a fully healed piercing, its not a bad idea to take them out and clean them a couple times a week.

    Also, some people say wood plugs limit the smell because they absorb the oils, but I've never used them and they shoould only be used on fully healed holes.

    Peace

    Yes, in fact the bigger the gage got the stinkier they got. I am currently at 5/8" and they smell pretty bad. I massage with tea tree oil to help it go away.

    I don't think anybody can resist smelling their ear cheese.

    Dunno if it's the same with dick cheese. I'd imagine so.

    let it smell, never wash them, then you can have fun picking the remains out of the pits in your ear things if you have interesting ones rather than just ordinary plugs or metal flesh tubes etc. ;)
