Review (5/5): MIRACULOUS.
This stuff is AMAZING. I am in LOVE. I will never again gauge my ears without this. At first I thought, "Why buy this one? There are much cheaper types out there." (I know this isn't expensive but c'mon, we're all looking for a bargain!) So I found a couple of different types but this stretching balm had the best reviews by far - I always trust the reviews.
So I bought it.
I am seriously amazed by what this stuff can do. I have always stretched my ears, technically "dry" before I bought this, and it doesn't feel great. After a hot shower, I would push in a new size and I had to push and push and it would usually tear and bleed and throb for days afterward. Not fun at all. They say that if you stretch it improperly, it will never heal or be able to shrink back to the small size. And I like to go back and forth from regular sized earrings to a double zero gauge - so it's important to me that my holes will shrink back.
ANYWAY. I bought this stuff and freaked out. I lathered my ears up with it and, like a freaking miracle, the gauges slipped right into my ear! I had just tried one size up, the DAY before and it hurt so badly that I couldn't even get them in. For some reason, when you use this stuff, you ears just take it! The next size up went into my ear, very easily, no pushing, no bleeding, no tearing, no throbbing! I was SHOCKED. It was so incredible! I actually can't wait to go up another size! I am so excited because it's EASY to stretch my ears now!
Don't think about it anymore, just BUY IT. This stuff is miraculous. You will not regret this purchase.
