That's Really Gross!!!!

What else is left but to be Random.
=D

They soak up all your sweat and when you shower the water gets in there and sours... It's just part of gauging out your ears, the stench is just always there. That's why most of the people I know don't use the cork kind, cause they seem to smell the worst. It is one terrible stench. It even happens to smaller earrings too, I have 10s and they get pretty foul.

Because they probably didn't clean their ears and the sweat.

Because they are made of rubber. You smell the rubber mixed with the ear wax if used.

Its really obvious.

because.
they are in your ears.
come on now.
earwax isnt the most pleasant smell.
and besides...
why would you smell them?

If you're referring to plugs as in gauges as in ear stretching,
bacteria and pus fester on them all day long.
They smell really gross once they're healed.
I have to clean mine about 3 times a day just to be able to stand it.
It's worth it though.

you really need to use a new pair often.. like every day...

NO

i think it's just natural when you stretch the earlobe, i mean you don't see it happening to people who just have pierced ears.
my ears are gauged and i find the ones made out of metal to be the best to control the stench...haha. but i clean them daily.
