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?

Go slow! Don’t rush it. If it’s difficult to size up and your ear is resisting the stretch it’s not ready! Wait a week and try again after a hot shower.
Take your time! Allow your ears to heal and make sure to keep your jewelry clean!
Use oils and make sure to moisturize!! Also tape is mandatory for sizes around 0 and up.. My ear at 1"1/8 took blowouts from trying to use tapers at smaller sizes. Tapers suck, tape is good.
Take your time! Anyone with stretched ears cannot stress this enough! It’s not a race! If you rush through stretching, you’ll only end up with damage and having to start over with the hope that the damage wasn’t permanent. Also, do your research or ask a professional for advice. If you’re not sure where to start or how to move up to the next size, ask for help. It’s better to ask for help than to risk injurying yourself or risking infection.
Take your time and don’t become discouraged if they become infected. Make sure to clean them every night while they’re healing.
