Stretching My Ears

I was at a jewellery store and I bought some tapers, they go from 16 gauge to 8 gauge. My ears so far, are at about 14. gauge. I was wondering how much longe rit should take before they are at 8.

How often can I stretch them?

Answer #1

6 months is way to long, typically ear lobes heal in 4 weeks time, I have been doing mine 1 size every week which is plenty of time for mine to heal and usually if you put neosporin on the gauge when you put it in it will heal in a weeks time easy

Answer #2

6 months is the ideal amount of time to wait but with the small sizes it doest really matter as long as you wait a month at least. And don’t skip sizes. Skipping sizes is really bad for your ears.

Answer #3

well mine were like regular peirced ears then I gauged them to tens. then eights then twos. it hurt. I dont recomend it. gauge slowly over time. like a week for each size at least.

Answer #4

I wouldnt skip to fast I did and it was the biggest mistake ever .just take your time

Answer #5

like a month just look at them

Answer #6

Well… I’ve already stretched them fully… and it’s been 8 days.
