I I screwed up and forgot to order gel to be shipped with my conversion return… so no chance of it getting here in time
and I’m semi locked in for install later today/tomorrow depending how you view time relative to sleep
Might try @Backpackingvet’s suggestion of 4% lido cream from a local pharmacy if they have it and I get it applied in time
Or I just do it raw out of simplicity, it shouldn’t hurt THAT much more than a large x series right?

If it is cream, I would put it on thick a few hours before and wrap it in saran wrap.
If it is a patch, I would put it on asap.
Kinda what I figure though. I think I could do one install and be fine, as long as there is lube. Two, I would be pushing it.
Best case? You say ouch. Worst? You pass out, just set yourself in a good position.
Still trying to figure out why I passed out with my last install. I really don’t mind it happened, it was a rather fun few hours in my head, and I woke up a few min later.

Yeah, no issue at all for me…
However
My installer didn’t have any needle lube and mine was before DT was selling it.
My installer struggled alot to penetrate me fully and deeply without lube
(I sent my install video to Amal)
My next Flex install I will also do without any pain meds/ numbing, but to make it easy on the installer, I will grab some lube.
Pain is an individual thing.
Some hate it 
Some like it 
Some just don’t care

I feel you 
Gonna get my xSIID installed next week (found out my local piercer does this as well, so no need to drive 2hrs by train for that 
), and I guess it will be without lube and without numbing. Pretty curious on how it works out, but like you said:

Ehh it will probably be fine. Aren’t all xseries installed without either AFAIK?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not worried at all - just really curious. Another thing I didn’t get done yet, so I can’t say how much or little it will hurt, but it will definitely be less than some other stuff I already did
And it’s not really a problem for me if bodmods hurt…

The needle is pre lubed for your pleasure.
I think.

The x-series are but not the big guy

Though “squishing” a unicorn feels… violent, somehow 
You’ll be happy to know that in our VR space that @RyuuzakiJulio is working on there is a relevant Easter egg.

I’m wondering if you’re talking about something unicorn-y or rather something that has to do with lube and penetration…
Guess I’ll pay it a visit either way
That is, in a few months… renovation still takes some time^^

Well half hour for payment flex needle install, looks like I’m doing it raw, hopefully I’m not terribly stupid

Try to concentrate on your breathing, literally “breathing the pain away” - or just enjoy
Anyway, wish you a good and easy installation!

How did it go?
Did you have and use needle lube?
Disregard, I’m just playing catchup and saw it here
