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?

Stretch in the shower, your skin is softer and it’s easier and less painful to stretch while in the shower.
Something I learned while first starting to stretch my ears up to now is to make sure you wait a good amount time between stretches and to lube your ears and taper really well so you don’t cause a blowout. I’ve made that mistake twice by using just coconut oil, it was not enough.
Take your time in between stretches! Don’t be in a hurry to get to that idea size you have set for your ears. With time and patience, you will succeed without destroying your lobes in the process. You want healthy thick lobes in the end without tears and blowouts.
Take it slow. Use tapers and lubricant if you’re not getting stretched incrementally by a professional piercer, use appropriate lubrication and don’t skimp on the aftercare.
Be patient 🙏
