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?

The best advice I can give in regards to stretching your ear lobbed is…
Slow and steady wins the race. The slower you go, the better it heals. Better healing=better long-term results.
Go slow. It’s not a race. I promise you’ll get there
GO SLOW. Be patient because if not you will have a blowed out ear or even in worse cases rip your lobe completely in half. I am at 3/4 and it took me 7 years to get to where I’m at. The last year I was Stretching was my big jumps. I went from a 00 to where I am now. I waited three weeks or when there was no longer sore between sizes and it was great. Use lube but not so much where you push it through and hurt yourself. (coconut oil works great) I still moisturize them every night. Be patient and take care of yourself and you will have beautiful ears forever!
For those just beginning to stretch their ears I would strongly recommend never using vaseline as lubrication always use water Vaseline will make your ears smell horrible and could also possibly set up infection always always use some sort of water-based lubrication or do what I did and simply soak your ears for 10 minutes in hot water not boiling hot
Take your time, do it smart. Have patience waiting to size up. Jojoba oil is amazing. Make sure you are 1000% committed to stretching and the aftercare before you start at all. Always ask professionals questions if you’re unsure about something stretching related. Wood plugs is my recommendation, it is the most amazing material I’ve ever worn and I’m at 1 1/8" 😊
