double flare help

I'm currently at 00g.
I just bought the only pair of 7/16g that the was at the store.
they're double flared, and I'm convinced it's impossible to get them
in.
any tips?

Don't buy things you know won't fit.

They do make single flares. You don't have to buy "what they have."
It's called patience.

Yes. Go back to the store, buy some 000g plugs. Use Teflon tape to
stretch from 00g to 000g. wait a week or two. then start using Teflon
tape to stretch from 000g to 7/16ths.

Remember this information, and apply the basic principles to all aspects
of your life.

Me, too!

Yeah. Hang padlocks from your lobes. Um, small padlocks. Or find some
other way to slowly and gently stretch those holes.

For my own info, 00 gauge is 9.5 mm while 7/16" is 11 mm. Doesn't seem
like a hyoooog jump, but I can empathize on double flare
uncooperativeness. I rarely wear my tunnels anymore, perferring single
flare color front glass plugs.

Regardless, here's a Wiki link you may find useful:

Best of luck. Please post a follow-up.

And you don't have to be a "poop."

Hth.

The OP wrote, "I just bought the only pair of 7/16g that the was at
the store." Which, hey, from my perspective, sounds more like they
were excited to get the only pair of 7/16" available at the store.

Or maybe it's called reading comprehension?

00 g = 9.5 mm
000 g = 10 mm

Hardly seems worth the expense.

7/16" = 11.11 mm according to http://www.anotherhole.com/. (HA! That
Web site's worth a visit if only for their Featured Model section. Too
cute.)

But not removing a band-aid.

Or driving on US81.

Or choosing your Internet connection. (Hey, this from Mr. Dial-up,
okay?)

Or...

Oh, okay.

Oh, except that maybe the gauge size does not include the flare. so
it's NOT 11mm that has to go through the hole at first, but something
greater. And being clever, "ooog" does not equal "uge." But the Navy
probably didn't think to teach you that.

Why not something from personal experience? Oh, wait, you never get
that far. You abandon before you heal. You call it "the
experience." Funny, that's exactly what you CAN'T draw from when you
give advice.

And then you wrote:

And the OP was whining about fit.

YOU are just showing again your hard-on for me.

Keep it up. (bad pun)

I'll take that as a compliment.

Yeah, that was priority one.

What?

What, to 7/16"? No, but I did stretch from 2 g to 00 g. I've chosen
not to go any larger.

> You abandon before you heal.

Broken record, Kavvy.

And, fwiw, I've healed nipples and then abandoned. Several years with
no problems at 8 g.

No, YOU're "the experience." The boooooring experience.

Zat so? You mean advice like you offered the OP initially? Be still my
heart!

I'm sure it does, but I'm not spending on DSL when the tower I have at
home is so near death's door.
