metrablue 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2006 some people feel that the silicon oabsorbs the oil in the moisturiser, hence makin it softer and easier to insert~ any by soakin it in moisturiser for a few days... itz hasten the process as compared to seasoning by repeated use~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Cruise Report post Posted October 28, 2006 yep, i heard abt using nivea body lotion to apply on the tri-flange.. u need to apply them routinely for sometime before it could soften.. i tot its a great idea, if u dont mind the perfume smell from the lotion..

Guest dogfight Report post Posted October 28, 2006 actually i think its not very hard to insert after 1 week of using, if you listen to it for an average for 2hrs a day...definitely much more easier then inserting complys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
