I'm beginning to get tempted by stretching too. I don't know though, i don't wanna do anything that isn't easily reversible because I am quite a fickle person. And not til after the wedding anyway. | |

I used the bullet things to stretch, quite expensive way of stretching but it's fairly easy. | |
