I wish I had advice from others when I first started stretching my ears. Here is the chance for you to give others some advice.
If you were to give advice to someone just starting to stretch their ears, what would it be?

Take your time with stretching! Dont try to rush it or you’ll blow your ears out. Make sure you wait at least a week between smaller sizes and up past 00 be sure to wait about 4 weeks between sizing. It will make the process a lot easier and remember, patience is a virtue!
Be patient and take it slow. It’s a process but rushing it will only cause you pain and will damage your ears. If you take your time and do it right, it’s a very rewarding feeling once you hit your goal. I love em!
Patience!! Cannot say it enough. Never rush the process it can do lasting and halting damage. Use lube when stretching, going it dry will hurt a lot more.
Take your time! Don’t rush the process or you can get a nasty infection. Use tapers and rubber o rings to keep them in place. Use tea tree oil after thoroughly washing your ears with soap and water. Do this several times a day. Use coconut oil on new jewelry you are trying to squeeze in. Also, you can try putting new jewelry in when you are in a hot shower. The skin of your ear lobes will stretch more easily without tearing.
I would definitely do research before committing to stretching! It’s so easy to rip your ears, which hurts and makes it harder to stretch in the future. Also, Jojoba oil is your best friend! Ive tried using coconut oil and I still ended up ripping one of my lobes. JoJo oil will keep your lobes strong and thick, and it’s great for wooden ear jewelry. Also, it helps stop them from smelling. Wood, and stone jewelry is also a great way to go; it’ll help stop the smell stretched lobes get if they aren’t washed periodically. Just, research, research, research!
