I do it everyday and they last about six to eight weeks . <| sep |> yep . Hudson has gotten magnitudes cleaner over the last few decades , thank god . <| sep |> LOL ! I ' m sorry for laughing but yesss I am very familiar with the struggle that comes with CBRs and I totally feel your pain . I used to wear them in my septum until I reached 6 g and just about suffered a raging meltdown trying to get that shit open and closed . NEVER AGAIN . The smaller gauge ones shouldn ' t be as troublesome just as long as you make sure to adjust it to the appropriate tightness before you try wearing it but it does take a bit of getting used to ! Good luck though . haha . <| sep |> Sewing , poetry , and thinking up clever names for things are the first things just come to mind .
