Questions & Answers

How does it work? Does it have a numbing agent? When it makes it less painful, how does it work?

It does not contain any numbing agents. You will have a more elastic skin if you use it. The stretch is less painful when it's made less tight. Additionally, it speeds up the recovery process for your ears after stretching.

Are there only one or more containers included with this product?

I once had just a single container, but it lasted me quite a long time

Can I buy this product without being concerned about cruelty?

The word "all natural" does not exactly translate to "cruelty-free". It is not necessarily cruelty-free to label something organic. It is not necessary to be cruelty free in order to be eco friendly. The presence of honey and beeswax does not automatically guarantee cruelty-free products. Animals are cruelty free when they are not subjected to any cruel treatment. A product is not cruelty free unless it has a logo like the leaping rabbit, or it is labeled as such. (The Leaping Bunny Logo is the only internationally recognized symbol that ensures consumers that no animal tests were conducted on any product bearing the symbol. Logos bearing the MARV logo are seen on packaging, advertisements, and websites for cosmetics and household products all over

Does it usually take a long time Could this be the reason why some people said the package ?

Mine was delivered on Sept 24 ( I ordered it on Sept 20th, and it came on Sept 24

This was a stellar purchase, I will be buying it again
5/5

The balm comes in a very small container (I used an eyeliner sharpener in the photo for a size reference), but a little of it goes a long way, so it is still worth trying. I love the smell, and I have no problem with it spreading easily, and it never leaves me with a greasy feeling. In my opinion, this balm's most impressive feature is how well it minimizes the pain associated with Although it is commonly said that stretching your ears and it hurts means that something is wrong, it is true that even after stretching in a slow and restrained manner, the ears will still have some discomfort after inserting a new plug and taper. I was able to stretch with no discomfort at all, and the taper slid smoothly through my ear without getting stuck. This balm facilitated the transition from the taper to the plug afterward in a speedier and easier manner than before. The product I have is awesome, I'll definitely recommend it to my friends, and I'll buy more when I run out (I feel like that will take quite a while). The only thing I will recommend to prospective buyers is to check the ingredient list to ensure they do not have allergies to any of the ingredients. It just takes a little bit of care when you buy all natural products so you don't break out with a rash. I have a friend who is allergic to jojoba and would break out with a rash if she used this.

We've approved you as a beginner! Initially, I was stretching with the plan jojoba oil, and I was getting along fine
4/5

However, once I reached 10 grams, there were some issues, so I heard about this and thought, "I'll give it a try!". The consistency of this product is excellent. The rubbing will be difficult at first because the fluid will be thick, but the warmth of your fingers will "melt" it and make it easier to work. The cream does not make it easier, especially when you go from 8g to 6g, but I use it every day to get my body used to the stretch, and after I wash the gauges, it helps put them back in place. Thank you for making it available to me. I'm just on my 6th gram and nearly at the end of the In the end, it was beneficial to me.

I recommend that you buy it! We care for our gauges regardless of whether we are sizing up or just taking care of them
5/5

You should take the time to do it. There is no question that I would By doing it immediately following a hot shower, I have gauged up to a 4g without a problem. The tapers never had to be left in the ties and I was able to immediately switch to plugs. In the park the other day I lost one of my ear plugs when I was playing with my daughter. My plan to size up soon had already been set in stone, so I figured that was a good It was the first time that I was unable to entirely get the taper through, so I had to leave it This process was extremely painful, and I didn't want to delay it for much longer so I began researching products to make it more comfortable. The first time I saw it, I was skeptical but decided to try it since I was already planning on going up a few sizes. This was one of the best decisions I've ever made! My sizing had been completed on one side by the time it arrived a few days later, but not on It was amazing! I used it again on the second side. My ear felt as if it had been buttered. As you could see, the taper slid through faster than I would have ever expected. It has now been a few days since I did this, and the side I used the balm on feels completely back to normal, while the side without it feels itchy but not sore anymore. In the future, I will be using it as a general care and hygiene measure for my gauges as well as to size.

The best way to get rid of soreness and the piercing odor! I'm blown away by what I'm seeing here
5/5

Gauged piercings have been part of my life since the early 1990s. My jewelry no longer fits after having recently had surgery because I forgot to put them back in right away, and the holes shrank/healed enough that I could not use them. Previously, I had never used any special stretching products, but once I received the taper, I started trying On stretching, I found this, and it had such great reviews, that I at least thought it was worth a try. It was so obvious they were Efforts to relieve sore, red lobes have been successful. You won't have to worry about putting jewelry in anymore. You don't have to worry about funky ear odors anymore! The balm would have stayed on my lips for the first 20 years of my life. The smallest amount goes a long way, but I will be repurchasing whenever I run out In such a way as to keep my piercings heal, happy, and, most incredible of all,.

I am glad I paid for this
5/5

Reviewing is not something I do I am blown away by this stuff! When I started cleaning my ears, I found that it was hard to get everything out. It hurt to take them in and out to take it all In contrast, with these, they go in like butter and keep my ears moist. That's what I like about I initially thought it was a mini thing of bag balm, but after using it, I realized that it is much more than that. The great thing is that there is only a little amount you need to use, and your fingers don't get greasy afterward. I highly recommend this program to anyone who is just starting out or who has been doing this for quite some time.

This balm works like a miracle! The balm works like a miracle
5/5

It has been the most difficult for me to stretch my right ear since I got here As my original piercing was on a slant, every size up caused a lot of pain and irritation. The third month after I tore my knee going to an 0g, I stopped stretching. I had been stretching my left ear in order to make it one size smaller than my right ear until I found the Besides being smooth, buttery, and smelling decent, it's also nice to touch. Before attempting the 00g taper, which I have never been able to push through without pain after my shower, I massaged the balm for some time into my lobe. I was able to go through this balm the first time I used it. This is the first time that both gauges are the same size. I haven't tried any other oil or lotion that works as well as this. The product really is worth the cost and I can't wait to use it once I have more money to spend.

Worked like a charm
5/5

I'm blown away by what I'm seeing here. The first time I used it I was skeptical. I mean how much easier can it get to stretch your ear holes, but I just used it to taper from a 16g to a 14g and it took me literally seconds. After I massaged it onto my ear and coated the taper, I rinsed my ears with water. There is a noticeable difference between my ear now and when I used to not use this (when I went from 18g to 16g last time). It only takes a little bit to make a difference! The scent is fresh and pleasant, somewhat like tea tree oil, but not overpowering to the point that it can still be detected after you wash your I had set a goal of 00 grams, and I think this will definitely help me to reach it.

This is well worth the money
5/5

I bought these for the first time ever. I'm not an expert on stretching my ears. There was a recommendation for balm and I just noticed it As soon as I saw them on Amazon, I bought them. The album isn't disappointing but they've not disappointed either. The container it comes in seems to never end but I wasn't prepared for it and it's like a never-ending quest Despite the never-ending black hole of cream, I shouldn't be in pain for a long time. After a few stretches, I haven't had any side effects, not even a little bit, or any other issues with stretching that one might encounter. I make my tunnels & my walls stronger with it as well I love how easy it is to put taper in. A good value for the money.
