Take it slow and use CBD salve to keep them from drying out, it also helps prevent infections.

Go slow and take your time.if the taper or stretcher doesn’t fit, don’t force it. By doing so, will increase the chances of having a blow out. If your lobes bleed, even a little, hydrogen peroxide worked for me..stopped the bleeding immediately. Also find a good stretch cream, one that has natural ingredients…such as Johoba oil and or tea tree oil

Stretch slowly, soak lobes in salt water, and keep them clean.

Personally, I went very slow. Like one mm at a time slow. I also clean them regularly and usually stick to stone, glass, or surgical steel when stretching.

antibacterial soap → let naturally dry → antibacterial soap on your plugs/tunnels/hangers (if applicable) and then mint cream. or olive oil. or coconut oil. but only a little amount :) dry → insert your jewelery. repeat two-three times a week.
