Hey all. I don't know if anyone on here is as in to tattoos and stretching your ears but I am in high hopes here.
I am currently sitting at a 2g, I believe, and my tapers are acrylic. I have a Nickle allergy so I came use any kind of metal, including Sterling silver or tungsten.
I am having a major issue with keeping them free of "smegma " and it's disgusting. I wash my tapers and my ear lobes EVERY SINGLE DAY with Irish spring. Sometimes I use rubbing alcohol because Irish spring doesn't rid the smell away and neither does antibacterial soap.
Is there another type of taper that isn't a porous or as prone to bacteria that would work better?
