I planned to stop at 00, but once you get here it really doesn’t seem as big as when you started out. My new goal is a half inch. My parents are despairing.

How to stretch my ears
It made me
ow
 "I think I'm prone to ear infections, yay!"
How I did it: Well one ear didn't want to stretch and become infected, had to go on antibiotics, this is the second time that same ear gets infected from stretching so I called it quits for good this time, too bad.. I like the look Lessons & tips: stretch slow and clean regularly, listen to your body Resources: antibiotics from the doctor lol |

How I did it: I bought a stretching kit from a website with 6 different sized rings in it. I slowly moved through the rings until I had reached the largest size. I took my time and kept them as clean as possible so they wouldn't bleed or get infected. Read how I did it…

How I did it: stretched up in stages. from lobe to 3mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 12mm, 10mm because is proper swelled up, then back to 12mm once it had healed. i dont think i'll go any further, i like it at this size. Read how I did it…

I love them!
How I did it: To start, I've had two sets of holes in each ear for a while. And I've had both sets pierced and re-pierced many times, so they never fully close. I started in January 2008. I bought a set of 10g pinchers (or crescents). I wouldn't necessarily recommend jumping in like that, but I didn't want to start at an 18 or 16g. The 10 worked like a charm and didn't hurt at all. That's probably due to the aforementioned non-closure. I got the other … Read how I did it…

How I did it: i started through a mate, he had one and i really liked it. so i went out and bought one, not knowing how small i should start i went straight to a 6mm!

Finally got around to buying a set of acrylic tapers for 15 bucks off the web. I went to shop4bodyjewelry.com. Going through them quite well, I’m at the third set of tapers so far. I had to backtrack for a bit because when I went to pull one of the tapers out to clean it it started bleeding. Bad start. Then again I was trying to move up in tapers every two days or so. Dumb on my part. I figure it doesn’t matter much at such a small stage anyway but I should take care of my ears for the sake of doing it.
Just checked and apparently I’ve just put in the 10g. Very exciting. Dunno if I’ll go past 0, but we’ll see. The only thing holding me back is stupid-I like the fact that my earlobes don’t hang. They just connect to my face with no dangly bits. I guess I’ll get over it, but I used to have pretty earlobes, ha!

Back down to the third size hoops, the larger ones didn’t stay in my ear very easily and started to hurt a lot. Time to let things heal…

When I first pierced my ears I wanted to stretch them but when I tried they just started to bleed so I had to wait for them to heal properly.
My friend came to visit me last month and bought me a stretching kit I had ordered :) I am hoping to stretch up to 5mm inititally, and I’m on the 4th of 5 stretching ring sizes, so it’s going well!
Thank god

I finally stretched to a 0g from a 2g yesterday, and honestly it hurt like motherfucker. My friend helped me just shove them in and be done with it. They’re still sore and bleeding quite a bit, but I’m finally done with it and really happy.

Starting out

I have 4 lobe piercings in my right ear and 3 in my left so yesterday in a music store I saw all the tapers and crescents and decided it would be cool to stretch the bottom right hole.
I have an 18g taper and last night I lubed it up with savlon. I massaged my ear well before hand and wasked it then pushed the taper in and yeah, it hurt. It took a while before I felt like I was making any progress, it just felt like my fingers were slipping off my lobe and not pushing it onto the taper, but once I looked in the mirror I saw how much it was working and fought through the pain.
I’m leaving it for a few days and then I’m going to try and work it on a little more as it’s good a good half cm to go on the taper, I think next time I’m also going to get a crescent, not a taper as I don’t want to take it out and walking around for 2 weels with a taper in my ear is going to be annoying.

I’ve been at a 0g for a few months now, and after a few feeble attempts to taper to 00g, I’ve decided to do the right thing and use tape instead. I’ve also decided to start stretching my second holes, because once you start, you just can’t stop.
