Happy stretching

Advantages: Looks, makes you stand out.
Disadvantages: Smells bad if you don't keep them clean

...Right, first of all, what is it? Well, stretching a piercing can be used on some but not all piercings, Ears, lips and nose piercings are the most popular to stretch and ears are the most popular out of those three. Some piercings just shouldn't be stretched; Genital and nipple piercings spring to mind! When stretching a piercing there are a couple different ways. You can either do it by adding more normal earrings and tugging on them. This is rarely used now or the obvious reason that it looks kinda strange and you could just pull through your lobe. The other option is to use tapers, such as the metal spike in the photo. Not only do these look better but also they let you stretch in gradual steps. These metal tapers come in various sizes, the minimum is 2mm and although there is no maximum, most shops only stock up to 20mm stretchers...

Get Stretched

Advantages: Quite a page turner, easy enough to follow
Disadvantages: Too lame, perhaps?

...When gang boss Terry Greene is sent to prison for a murder he says he did not commit, his estranged wife and mother of three is forced to take over in his absence. Here she finds the extent of her husband’s involvement with serious crimes including countfeit money and the importation of drugs… So begins this novel written by exciting thriller novelist Stephen Leather. Often compared with the likes of Clancy and Higgins, Leather writes good page-turners that don’t let go and The Stretch is no exception. Fairly easy to read, his books are well written and popular. He also writes screenplays, which include episodes of the Bill and Murder in Mind. The Stretch was made into a film for Sky TV and starred Anita Dodson and Leslie Grantham. I have read several of his books before and look out for them in the bookshops. Other...

Ear Stretching advice

Advantages: Looks good,,
Disadvantages: hurts if you do it wrong, can get infected easily,

...Okay, so I'm only 15 and i have a 10mm tunnel in my ear :) I like it, but it was sooo painful. So, if your planning on strecthing your ear, try not to do it how i did it, I'm an impatient person and couldnt be bothered waiting months inbetweem each gauge. I started stretching about 6 weeks ago., from a nomral piercing to a 2mm. Then a week later, i went to a 4mm, then a day later, to a 6. Then it swelled up and stung really bad, and i was scared it was going to get infected so i took it out for a bit. Then about a week later i got an 8mm, and a few days later put a 10mm tunnel in. NEVER DO THIS!It absolutly kills. And can infected so easy. My two freinds tried doing this as quick as i did, and they both got minging infections, and had to go antibiotics from the doctors,the infection spread onto their faces. Just to warn you,not do...

Addicted and Stretch Mark Oil from This Works - simply WORKS!!

Advantages: smells and feels expensive- ultra absorbing
Disadvantages: pricey but worth it!

...Every so often you come across a product which just makes you stop in your tracks. This one made me and WOW - I LOVE IT. A friend introduced me to Stretch Mark Oil as an all over body lotion versus just a solution for the dreaded SM's !!! Coming up to summer, we buff and polish and prep our skin trying to make the best of the English weather and quite frankly I would be lost without this little gem now. Dont let the price put you off - comparing ml for ml its as good as many out there and i prefered it to plain Cocoa Butter and Bio Oil. It has made some of my stretch marks finer and improved my skin on my arms, chest and legs -its now my gift of choice for friends who are having babies!! I found mine at John Lewis but now having looked into it the brand has its own website and its sold on lots of other websites too. I will be...

stretch power ranger

Advantages: does stretch well
Disadvantages: could be of better quality

...I bought a stretch power ranger for my 4 year old son and while it does stretch quite a bit and he had lots of fun with it, the foot came away from the body by day two of having it and some of the rubbery covering on the figure peeled off.The inside is made from silicone gel and as its a gel there was no mess from it splitting and it is also non toxic or so i was informed when returning product to manufacturer. It is quite a good idea as it does stretch well past double its size and has no sharp edges it could possibly be that the one i got was faulty.However i refused a replacement just incase same thing happened again. Son did have hours of fun with it before the foot came away and it is quite amazing how it goes back to the same size after it has been stretched....

Review of Character Options Power Rangers Stretch Power Ranger

If 9 inches isn't enough, stretch it!

Advantages: Power Rangers theme
Disadvantages: Limited play value

...book' fashion. During his Power Rangers obsession, my son collected quite a number of plastic characters from the series. He actually has all the different coloured Rangers from this particular series in smaller hard plastic figures and did get a lot of pleasure from make-believe games with the figures. One thing that he kept on and on asking for was one of these stretchy power rangers which seemed to be advertised on Jetix constantly! I was really reluctant to buy him one of these because they cost £10 each at the time and really didn't seem to do anything apart from stretch considerably when pulled and then snap back into shape. I just had visions of this being one of those expensive novelty toys that was played with once and never again. My son did genuinely want one though and continued to ask for one so, eventually, pester power...

Decleor Firming Stretch Mark Cream

Advantages: Makes skin feel soft and smooth
Disadvantages: Haven't really seen the desired effect!

...I really like the Decleor range and when I saw this product I really wanted to try it to see if it really did what it said on the tube 'Firming Stretch Mark Cream'. The design of the tube is simple and attractive. Like a lot of other Decleor products it comes in a nice yellow colour. It has 'Decleor' written at the top of the tube and then the product name in French, and then its translation in to English. It comes with a yellow screw top lid so it is easy to squeeze the lotion out of the tube. The cream has a good 12 month shelf life once it has been opened, and if you use it everyday it shouldn't be a problem using it up in this amount of time! The Decleor line isn't that available on the high street, although I know John Lewis stocks it. It is quite widely available on line and Decleor have their own UK website, and amazon...

RODIAL STRETCH MARK ERASER REVIEW

Advantages: it actually works
Disadvantages: might run out a little fast -

...Before buying this cream, i searched and searched the web for a review and couldnt find any, so i took the risk and bough the cream and thought i HAD to write a reveiw. A little background: I had one baby (boy) 20 months ago and i was COVERED in stretchmark and gained 4 stone, after giving birth the strechmarks were red and angry looking and on the bottom part of my belly, where the womb was - so after losing the weight - the stretch makrs looks wrinkley and hence made the belly look like it has loose skin when inface it didnt. I used bio oil every day of the pregnancy and its rubbish, didnt do a thing, wish id discivered this product back then. This is an oil and is FANTASTIC is has collagen which pumps the stretch marks and makes them less 'deep' hence filling them in more so they look better dont expect miracles,no cream does this...

Review of Rodial Stretch Mark Eraser

Don't bother stretching the pennies for this!

Advantages: Comes in handy pump action bottle.
Disadvantages: Doesn't have the same smell as the origional Cocoa Butter.

...I realised the other night that i'd nearly come to the end of a bottle of a product that i was trying for the frist time, and had not yet written a review about on Ciao! Well, i thought i should immediately set to work writing a review so that you could all benefit from my impression of the product. So, what product is it? Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Massage Lotion for Stretch Marks, of course! ***THE COMPANY*** Palmer’s is a brand owned by E.T. Browne Drug Co., Inc (E.T. Browne (U.K) Ltd). On the back of the bottle is says that Palmer’s does not manufacture store brands, so I’m guessing it means that the only brand E.T Browne Drug Co., Inc manufacture is Palmer’s various ranges, and Palmer’s only manufacture their various ranges, no others. Anyway, on the bottle is says to go to www...
