-- Posted by wrw1821 at 2:23 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 I recently started stretching my ears and i heard it was good to use emu oil to help prevent blow outs and tears, but its a bit expensive. Could i just use regular vitamin E oil instead? Any advice would be great thank you. -- Posted by showgirl xx at 2:24 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 why do people do that? it looks so disgusting... -- Posted by Tubbz at 2:24 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 I just let my ear heal on it's own, I took it out now, but I suppose vit E would work. -- Posted by LucidAssassin at 2:25 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 emo oil is more like it....even though its actually punk....still that makes me want to hit you -- Posted by Randomaster at 2:25 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Ear stretching is hideous -- Posted by wrw1821 at 2:27 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 There is an Emu oil, so before you go correcting people do a little research first and dont be so ignorant -- Posted by wrw1821 at 2:29 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 If your not going to be helpful and just insult me and my choices please do not reply. I am actually lokking for helpful people -- Posted by MixedDelight at 2:33 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 I really have no idea. Wouldn't they have the same properties? I mean the point of the oil is to make sure the skin doesn't crack, right? Vit E should work just fine then. Maybe people use emu simply because it's oilier. -- Posted by RossTheHoss69 at 2:35 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Vit E will work, too. -- Posted by wrw1821 at 2:44 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 thank you to the people that were helpful and not insulting or uneducated. I don't see why people had to respond with things that had absolutely nothing to do with my question, but thanks again to people who actually answered my question.
