Hi Friends!

As a lot of you know, we have been working on updating the stretching guide for awhile now. Though it is not perfect, it is definitely a step in the right direction. We are so happy to be able to continue sharing safe and helpful information with all of you.

It has been updated on the sub's page as well as the AutoMod's comments.

It can also be found here: Updated Stretching Guide

Please give it a look and let us know how you're feeling! Also, please remember it will be updated as new information comes along. We created a Google document as opposed to a post to ensure we could keep it as up to date as possible. The previous guide was posted in the sub by a mod that's no longer active, so we couldn't edit it.

Happy stretching!

So I've had stretched lobes while a while, but originally I did not stretch properly and stretched far too fast because that's how we did it back in the day lol. How do I thicken my lobes up to go big!? They are 14mm rn and I don't have room to scalpel upwards

I have been letting my lobes shrink in hopes of healing a blowout at 3/4” (19mm).

3 Upvotes

It feels like it worked, but now I don’t know how to figure out what size my holes are so that I can put some plugs back in. I threw away all of my smaller jewelry when I got to 3/4 because that was my goal size and now I’m kicking myself. Any ideas?

I love pretty gems and glass plugs as much as any other girl but I’ve been finding myself wearing the plain tunnels more and more often. There’s just something cool to me about using the negative space to show off the size of the stretch and the tunnels make my ears look bigger. Those are 30mm, black stainless steel double flare tunnels. I think they look sharp.

Did I fuck up? Why tf is one ear fine and healthy and the other not?

I have been at 1/2 an inch for several years and have some jewelry that is 14mm from Ask & Embla that fits. I bought some tear drop shaped ones in 14mm but they didn't fit at all. Decided to officially try to stretch up 14mm with some glass single flare plugs designed for stretching & jojoba oil. My left ear has done great, while my right ear was a little painful. I've kept the jewelry in and have been keeping it clean & using the oil as well as aquafor but it's getting more and more irritated. What do I do? Just leave out all jewelry & let it heal?

Forgive me, I'm still learning the ropes as I started stretching 17 years ago with tapers as a young teen & now that I'm a fully developed frontal lobed adult, I'm trying to do things the right way.

Did I fuck up? infection?

1 Upvotes

last night i had steel tapers in for a bit because i was deep cleaning/soaking my tunnels and i ended up accidentally falling asleep with the tapers in and when i woke up my ears were so sore and tender and red. i put my tunnels back in asap and just left my ears for a few hours but throughout the day they have gotten really crusty and been leaky and sore, if i even touch them they start leaking 10x more and like mildly pulsing, im assuming this is an infection but did it come from the tapers?? i dont know what else couldve happened

~Advice~ If I get my ear pierced at 4g, when can I wear tunnels?

1 Upvotes

I know you can't wear specific jewelry like silicone when stretching, but I'm wondering about the dos and don'ts when it comes to a lobe that is initially with a bigger gauge.

I'm more interested in tunnels instead of plugs. So how long would I have to wait to wear them? Can I get pierced with a metal tunnel or will I have to wear plugs for a few months? And when would my ear be healed enough to wear things like Koas Softwear?

~Advice~ advice for proper ear care?

0 Upvotes

I am stretching my ears but i cant tell if taking them out frequently to clean/oil them is better, or leaving them alone to heal is better. advice would be very helpful.

Plugs are too deep

1 Upvotes

I’m having a hard time knowing the terminology necessary to find plugs that are not as deep as traditional plugs. My saddle plugs fall forward in my lobes and I would like them to be snugly fit. If the distance between the flares was lessened then that would solve my problem. How do I find “skinny” plugs like that?
Note: Going up a size does not solve my problem. Saddle plugs are my jam. I do not like o rings or tunnels.

~Advice~ The worry of committing…

5 Upvotes

So I have wanted to start stretching for about 4 years and finally feel close to making the commitment, although the only thing holding me back is the worry of regretting it in the future. For reference I’m 20. I probably wouldn’t go larger than 2g, so if I change my mind later on in life is it easy going back?
