Stretching with silicone, bad. But wait, read on

[TOFU]

The surface of silicone is porous and tacky. It will be stuck on your ears if stretch using that. But what if i add a layer of teflon tape on the surface? Will it still be as bad? Despite stretching too fast THANKS!

Well, one thing I find really bad about silicone is that it can force your ears up a size when you're not ready. With a taper or tape, you can stop if you feel like it's going to be painful or difficult to stretch, but with silicone it just expands in your ear and you HAVE to go through with the stretch. So if you're not 100% ready to stretch it can cause a lot of problems.

I dont think it is a good idea.

Silicone is not meant for stretching.

It can force your ears to stretch whenever they arent ready. Using silicone can cause blowouts.

also bad quality silicone that you find at hottopic (with the exception of kaos) is also toxic.
