Is Stretching Your Ears Addictive?

Is Stretching Your Ears Addictive?

We've all either been there or know someone who has...  We say we're going to stretch our ears to a certain size and then we just keep going.  I would love to hear your opinion on why you think we can't stop stretching.  Please share your story below.

I personally started off saying I would only stretch my ears a little.  Then a couple months passed and I thought it just didn't look big enough.  I decided I should stretch them to just a 2 gauge. This size lasted a while before I got bored.   I decided no matter what I would stop at 00 gauge.  Guess what, I couldn't stop.  My question is, why can't I stop?

I know how far we go will vary per person, but could it be that stretching our ears is actually an addictive process?  Please let us know your story and your thoughts by commenting below.

I know for me, it was an addiction of getting to my goal size of 1”. Since I’ve reached 1”, I’ve stayed that size for about a year now and don’t plan on changing any time soon. I think for me it was the addiction to reach my goal size, cause every size below 1” didn’t seem to fit me quite right. And now, I absolutely love them! I feel beautiful and most myself with them at this size, and I’m even planning on piercing a second lobe hole in each side soon to have my 1” and another one that’s probablt about a 00g or so. Can’t wait! :)

Stretching my ears bigger than my current 6g is not something that appeals to me. The only reason I stretched to this size was because I absolutely LOVE all the different hangers. Plus I kept losing all the backings to reasons hahaha. I like the size I’m at and have never even considered going up sizes. Just got two pairs of hangers from you guys and they are wonderful! Thanks!

Oh they definitely are addicting! Totally stared out thinking I would stop at 00… ???

I wouldn’t say ‘addictive’. I’ve been at 5/8 for a few years now and I feel like it’s the perfect size for me. (And I have a gorgeous collection of plugs that I would be heartbroken never to be able tow ear again if I changed sizes)
