stretching


Question Posted Sunday December 21 2008, 10:49 am

I recently started stretching my ears. I'm at a 4G right now, and I baught 2's that I'm going to put in after I heal.
No one I really know has ever done this, so I was wondering if the pain I'm feeling is normal, I'm pretty sure it is, but it's like, when I do my left ear, the complete left side of my body tingles and is in pain. I put antibacterial cream all over the tapers and all over my ear before I started stretching. Was that a good idea?
And also, I'm in a nursing class and we have to put in clinical hours starting somewhere around the end of January, if I take my plugs out, will I be able to regain the shape in my ear? I heard that once you go to a zero, you can't get your shape back, but if you're smaller than a zero than you're in the clear. True?

Thanks.

It's normal. The 4G was the size that hurt the most for me anyway. Cleaning it is okay but I wouldn't put any cream or anything on it before stretching. Most people end up tearing the ear a bit when stretching.

It takes months for your ear to adjust to the size fully. If you take the plugs out, it will slowly go down throughout the day. It depends on how long you have had it at a 0. My boyfriend had 00's and he took it out for the day. It went down to a 4.


It's different for every person. I used to hear if you reach 2's, you wouldn't be able to size down. But I've also heard some people sizing down slowly and regaining the shape back.

well i have never gauged my ears that big
but you see when i was little i wore huge dangly earrings so they streched out.
i could with no effort randomly put 14 gauges through my ear
I gauged my already streched ears to a ten
and they fell out or i woulda gone bigger
but scince i lost them they healed up
and now my ears are smaller than they were before.
so I think theyll heal up but it will take some time.
unless you have them in for a very long time at zeros and cant make em any bigger,
like idk how to explain it but like if you want it to heal up then dont let double zeros heal to be smooth flesh.
and antibacterial cram is a good idea
still use it when you take then out
to help with the scarring.

hope i helped=]
15/f
