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, take your time. If you are stretching your ears and it starts to hurt it is ok to stop put the rubber bands on and let them sit until they aren’t tender. Being patient is the key and always wait 2 weeks to even a month before you stretch up again. Make sure your body candidate handle it.
Best advice massage your ear lobes A LOT it helps soooo much when going to next size !
Go slow! Allow enough time between stretching to heal and do not skip sizes! The best healing jewelry is stainless steel. Try to stay away from acrylics and silicon until healing is complete. Also if stretching at home I find it best to go up a size (using tapers) after a hot shower. Also massage your ears and keep them clean! For massaging I used jojoba oil. Happy stretching!
Slow and steady wins the race. Don’t rush it, you’ll get to your perfect size with patience!
Take your time! Do not rush, always use a lubricant when going up. I’d suggest waiting a month or two between sizing up. If your ear doesn’t want to size up, don’t force it. You don’t want to cause a blow out. I ordered two different stretching kits, that way I had the different sizes and styles ready. I also bought some stretching balm, it helped a lot.
