If you were to give advice to someone just starting to stretch their ears, what would it be

TAKE YOUR TIME. you have your whole life to get those beautiful lobes to where you want them.. I always size up in a hot shower and lube them up with baby oil or vaseline.. after 2 days i clean in a hot shower again and then my regular maintenance is just to clean them every single day..I have never gone less than 2 weeks before going up another size. its so fun but you definitely want them to look good and take care of them well

DONT HURRY. take your time with stretching and don’t jump sizes so fast. I made the mistake of trying to get mine to a 6g from normal pierced ears and I ripped part of my lobe. No one had told me the proper instructions to even starting the stretching process. Do your research first! Be prepared :)

Use a stretching kit. It gives you every size up to 0 usually. Use vitamin E on your ears afterwards to help with healing. Try to switch sizes in the shower or right after you get out. Every now and then just sort of play with your ears to help the stretching. Once I got up to like 8 I liked to use the spirals because they have weight to them and it helps the stretching. 4 to 2 and 2 to 0 are usually harder because there’s a big difference in size. There’s a stretching tape you can use on your current size to slowly make it bigger until your ready to try the new size.

Take your time. Go up one gauge at a time to avoid ripping or a “blow out”. It shoulnt hurt to gauge up. Make sure you use something to lubricate your ear to make the streching easier.

Go slow! Use soap and hot water!
