Review (5/5): buy this!!
This balm came with the stretching kit I had ordered. Being a first time stretcher, I was a littke nervous about the pain, but this stuff works AMAZINGLY. I didn't feel the taper slide through and my ears didn't swell at all. I was able to switch the taper out for a actualy plug in just a matter of hours. I very highly recommend this product. It doesn't look like a whole lot of balm, but you don't need to apply a bunch either. Just a thin layer will suffice.
