I’ve been at 5/8 for the longest time (at least 2 years). Around May of last year I didn’t wear plugs for a bit, maybe a week or so, and my ears shrunk just a bit. When I went to put my plugs back in, I tore a little. Long story short, it was gross, puss was definitely oozing, and it dropped me back down to smaller than a 00. Now, a year later, I’m back to my normal 5/8 and my lobes are healthier than ever.
Yes, now that I’m at 5/8 my ears don’t seem to want to stretch anymore despite being healthy and having lots of lobe left.
I’m having problems getting to 3/4". My ears just don’t seem to want to stretch anymore and I’m unsure what to try.
Yes, best advice is to be patient and use proper lube. Stretching in the shower is easiest for anyone that doesn’t know. But I have wanted to rush my stretching before and blown out my ear so badly! Patience is a virtue!
When I was younger I had one of my earrings ripped out which caused scar tissue and made stretching them later really difficult, it would always hurt really bad and bleed. I am at a 7/16 now and that is as far as I am going because I don’t know that I can do anymore, I was pretty lucky just to get to here.
