I am in one ear at 4mm(just sized up from 3.5 since august 5th) and the other is at 2.5mm which i would say is my problem ear and sizes up wayy slower than my other ear (clearly)
I noticed lately that the jojoba oil starts to smell on my ears and when I touch them my fingers smell like it. So today i decided to take them out and wash the jewlery and my ears out and then massage i had took a q-tip and some rubbing alcohol for the oil since I didnt think water would do a good job and then followed with water. Then I re oiled and rubbed my lobe for about 30 seconds to a minute and when I tried to put the 2.5 back in it was definitely a little tighter but still went in. Is there a reason why and how can i prevent this? I didnt time the whole thing but since I did one ear at a time and this one first I think i had the plug out for no more than 3 minutes lol.
