I don't want to argue so I'll just stop right here.
EDIT: Actually..
So, Drew, what are you saying? You went from 4mm to 5mm in a stupid amount of time and apparently they're fine so everyone else will be okay?

i'm bored of all this stretching talk. most people say stretching is a personal experience and then tell others how it has to be done - confusing! stretching holes in your body really isn't going to be uber-health-food-shop-healthy, is it not more a matter of safety than health? and it's not even dangerous really!
and the holes can always be closed again pretty easily!

yep, my other point (the uber-health-food-shop-healthy bit... i thought it was funny lol) is that stretching holes is never going to be "healthy" by conventional terms, it's a piercing, not a carrot!

A stretch should be healthy but theres a huge difference between cautious and going ott.
"you've gotta learn from your mistakes!" - So should I shove a safety pin through my lip then? Then I'll be 100% sure its bad when it gets infected!
"stretching holes is never going to be "healthy"" - Erm, yeah it is.. if done properly.
"it's a piercing, not a carrot!" - Wow, thanks for pointing that out.
