Tried stretching my own septum with a taper and it actually went smoother than I thought

I've been at 14g for like 8 months and finally worked up the nerve to go to 12g with a pincher last night. Used vitamin E oil and a glass taper from a kit I got off Amazon for $12, and it slid right in with barely any pinch. Has anyone else had luck with a certain size jump that they thought would be way worse?

Is it just me or does anyone else feel like they're playing operation when they do this? I tried going from 14g to 12g with a pincher last month and almost passed out from the adrenaline, not the pain. Ended up with a bloody nose and a pincher that looked like a tiny boomerang because I dropped it in the sink. On the bright side, at least your $12 kit worked way better than my attempt did.

Haha oh man that boomerang pincher image is killing me. But for real, going from 14g to 12g with a pincher is a recipe for disaster unless your septum is already really loose. You gotta dead stretch with single flare glass or metal first, not a pincher, that's just asking for a bad time. The adrenaline spike is no joke though, I've been there where your body just freaks out even if it doesn't actually hurt that bad. Hope that bloody nose wasn't too traumatic, I've definitely had my share of those too.
