Review (5/5): "stretching"
I read most reviews and thought nah I don't know how this would work for me because I've tried ALL other remedies to get my double flared plug out of my ear; a hot shower, lotions, petroleum jelly, etc. of which have not worked. My double flared plug has been stuck in my ear for 2 YEARS! and this got it out within a couple weeks along with pulling and playing with it. it did exactly what it said it would do! the smell is great too.
as far a pain, i never really have any pain, i push the taper through until painful then stop and let it rest there and within minutes that sharp pain is gone and this doesn't seem to take that pain away for me it just seems to make getting to the next step go faster and easier.
I love it and I'm recommending it to anyone who's stretching there ears!
