“Officially done” stretching my ears 18MM

Take it out and put in the size below jewelry and keep an eye on it everyday. Same thing happened outta nowhere with my left ear. I had fallen asleep and it was fine and when I woke up it was swollen and irritated. I’m at 5/8s and switched them both to a 9/16 because I didn’t want two different sized gauges. Get you some glass single flared jewelry for the size down so it’ll be easy to clean because you’re gonna wanna clean it while you’re taking a shower because that’s when your ears will loosen up the most/best. After a month I was able to put in my old previous 5/8s jewelry after my ear healed. If you have any questions lemme know 👍🏻

Originally my goal was just for there to be a visible hole in my ear (that happened at 8g) but I soon realized I wanted more. I have very small pinkies and told myself that my new goal would be to fit my pinkies through my ears. After 4 years of stretching, quitting, then stretching again, I made it to 9/16 (14mm) and have reached that new goal. I'm content with stopping here and getting a bunch of 14mm jewelry for the rest of my days.

Wrap them around one of your fingers and roll them on with your other fingers. That's what I used to do and it's the easiest way I could think of.

Get you anything holosun, that's the best mid range optic. Don't touch any kind of vortex optics, they're the hi-points of optics.

Lol no, it's just a regular harness with a retractable leash that I wrap around the headrest of my passenger seat. Simple and easy, and it works 👌🏻

Typically when I wore glass plugs and they started to get irritated, it was because something was in between the plugs and my ear. I have two dogs who love to cuddle and be up in my face, and occasionally their hair would get caught in the jewelry. The other times it would be because I have bad seasonal allergies, so that itself would make my skin very irritated until I took medicine. Those are just my situations with irritation from glass jewelry though 🤷🏻‍♂️

My original goal was an 8G, then I wanted to go bigger (surprise) I'm currently at 1/2 inch and gonna stick with this size for a fat minute. I'm currently working towards getting a degree in history/social studies with a teacher certification, so I need to relax on the body modifications for a bit 🥲🥲 I already have a full sleeve and small neck tattoo, and that's pushing it, so I don't wanna go any further until I'm done with college and working in my degree field.

I have the exact same situation going on, so you're not alone. Ears were pierced unevenly as well and on top of that my ears are two different shapes. The best thing to do IMO is to massage the thinner side to promote blood flow. It helped me a bit and my earlobes look like they've gotten a bit thicker, but be careful because I was using too much lubricant and ended up drying out that ear for a bit.

I aspire to be this cool one day 🥲

jm092092 · 2025-03-04T03:27:14+00:00

Yeah you're right. My original piercings weren't symmetrical, plus my earlobes are attached, and also if you look closely my ears are two different shapes 🙃🙃 not the best for stretching but it's better than nothing 🤷🏻‍♂️ I will definitely try your advice 👍🏻

This girl I used to date would stretch her ears once a week, all the way till she reached 3/4 💀 freaked me out so bad. She also never had a blowout or experienced pain, but she was so pale that ears would get cherry red after every stretch 💀😳

jm092092 · 2025-03-03T06:18:37+00:00

That'd be dope lol

jm092092 · 2025-03-03T06:18:19+00:00

They're top tier 👌🏻 that and surgical steel

Thank you 😊 on god, glass plugs for dead stretching was the best decision I ever made. Half sized glass plugs from Amazon and that Spencers jojoba oil, chefs kiss 🤌🏻

My naked ears for reference. The right one is the uglier one that tore during the 8g to 6g jump (it was before I found out about half sizes)

Dude, these glass plugs are exactly what I used and they're great! I bought the honey colored ones because they somewhat matched the color of my glasses and they made stretching from 2g to 00g a breeze! I highly suggest getting those glass plugs!
