Made it to 2G
I finally achieved my goal of wearing 2G jewellery. Today, it just slipped right in.
There was a bit of a setback after my last post. I was concerned that the skin was getting too thin, and the piercing felt irritated every day. The irritation bump also didn’t seem to be going away. I honestly thought I was going to have to retire it, so I took the jewellery out completely.
I was pretty gutted because this is the piercing I enjoy the most, and it was the one I’d wanted for years.
I tried not to think about it for a while and let the piercing shrink. After about a month, I checked it and noticed the irritation bump had completely gone. I decided to give it another go, starting again at 10G. I gradually stretched it back up to 4G over the course of about a week.
To my surprise, it felt so much better this time around. No irritation and no bump.
And today, I reached 2G! I’m really happy with how it looks, and I think this is where I’ll stop. I don’t think my willy could comfortably handle anything bigger than this anyway.
Sometimes taking a step back really is the best way to move forward.
