I have had issues not JUST stretching my ears, but keeping them pierced in order to stretch them! I have had my lobes pierced twelve times now, and the only time I’ve successfully kept them pierced without irritation is when I got them healed enough to start stretching! I’m thinking the metal just bothered my ears from the earrings. Can’t wait to stretch again!

Yes, I tore my right ear trying to size up. I’m in the process of getting back to where it was. It’s a little nasty, trying to keep it clean so I dont have to start over AGAIN

The only problem I had was going from 2 to 0. I waited a very long time, and still had an issue. I had to find a 1 and stretch to that first. Then after about a month a 0 was easy.

Ive had mine get infected more than a couple times. Also every time I stretch up one ear will take it a lot harder than the other and it’ll go back and forth with the ears eveytime I stretch up. Little sucky.

I only had trouble one time, really. It was when I went from 2 to 0. I didn’t wait a full month like I had been between sizes. I skipped ahead and put my taper in after just 2 weeks. My lobes got so swollen and sore it was horrible. I’m pretty sure they ripped because they leaked clear fluid regularly. I kept it super clean with sterile wound wash spray and it went down after a few days and healed after a few weeks. I did give my ears a few months rest before I went to 00, though!
