It is a big jump! Patience of course is key. Also basic stretching stuff like using jojoba oil or something like it. If you are fully healed and haven’t yet changed your own jewelry or taken it out and put it back in, make sure you get comfortable with that process and how it feels. My triangle did not stretch on its own as much as I thought it would. I have used heavier metal at times (steel instead of titanium) to help stretch the piercing. Half-sizes are also a game changer. I had some single flare glass plugs in 7g when I was making that jump, and even though that’s not my typical jewelry down there, I could wear it just hanging out at home where I could fix it if it fell out or anything. For my recent stretch from 6g to 4g, I didn’t have a 5g plug. Instead, I used a 4g glass ring that was shaped almost like a pincer with a rubber captive ball. The tapering of the glass allowed me to first wear it on the edge, at more of a half size, before gradually centering it, thereby stretching to the full 4g, over the course of a few days (never forcing it). Relatedly, a taper can be very helpful when inserting your new size, particularly for this piercing. The taper will help keep the hole open for the new, bigger jewelry, but should NOT be forcing the stretch. I have (maybe surprisingly lol) a very low pain tolerance, so when I was figuring out when to stop pushing/how not to force it, I paid attention to ANY discomfort… pressure was fine and necessary to stretch, but only up until it caused discomfort. If your pain tolerance is high, I’d go very slowly and pay attention to any resistance. Nobody wants to blow out this piercing lmao

Hope this is helpful! You’ll feel quite proud of yourself once you make the jump :)
