kenshin_himura 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2006 hmm been away due to prelims and recently rediscovered the small bag of nivea lotion which uncle wilson asked me to experiment on... sorrie for the late report uncle wilson Previously in the UM1 topic, i asked how the triflanges can be soften. Uncle wilson told me experiemtn using nivea body lotion..hmm sounds odd eh? I soaked one of the the tri flanges uncle wilson provided and it worked!!! the tri flanges is softer compared to the untouched one.... still soaking and have yet tried it on but when i compressed it, it veri nua hope this results helps =D perhaps i can soak the other one in olive oil =D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poyo 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2006 Ahhh no wonder Mr W told me to use nivea lotion some time last week when I hurt my ears with ER6 flanges. This solution kills 2 birds with one stone. Your ears smells nice and the IEM slips right in easily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mackie 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2006 (edited) A result of thinking out of the box. Anyway, don't limit yourself to only NIVEA, lotion/moisturizer of other makes should do the job too. Hence, you can "borrow" from your mum or sis or perhaps, you already have a beauty set. Edited September 21, 2006 by Mackie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kenshin_himura 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2006 haha i went to get nivea lotion since uncle wilson said nivea haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mackie 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2006 If you have just gotten the newest Nivea night whitening lotion, soak the flanges at night, as per instruction, and it will become whiter and softer than the day lotion. hahahaha........ Please don't heed this advice, I'm merely joking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mackie 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2006 (edited) Oh yes, it does! Connect a pair of AFA Zeus speaker cables to your speakers and you will see a pair of yellow pythons emulating a cobra attack...must be the doing of snake oil on the cable sleeves........

norseman 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2006 (edited) New discussion thread: What brand oil/lotion/body butter best for your triflanges? Benefit of olive oil vs cocoa? Tea tree vs lavender? Optimum 'soak in' time? Is soak in real or physcological? :D :D :D :D Edited September 21, 2006 by norseman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nakedtoes 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2006 Not only the oil helps to soften.. infact the rubber of the tips absorb the oil and make them easy for insertion. I so much prefered the seasons tips then those new one.. thats why i haben change any new tips yet... maybe until they are black in color Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
