So On This Forum Everyone Seems To Think They're Is A Set Pre Determined Way To Stretch You're Lobes, With Certain Rules And Time Limits. I However Disagree with The Common Consensus, And Support The Idea Of "You're Ears Know Best". I Believe Only YOU Have You're Ears And Only YOU Know When And How They Should Be Stretched. I Understand People May Come To This Board Seeking Guidance, But To Completely Shut Down One Method Of Stretching As Completely Invalid Is Stupid And Wrong. Especially If It's Because They Fear Someone Will Damage Their Lobes Even If They Have Little Knowledge Of How Another Quicker More Efficient Way Works.
These Are A few Thing I Believe That Others So Strongly Disagree With.
I Believe When You First Start You're Stretching Journey It Should Be With The Mindset Of Permanence. Meaning You Should Only Stretch if You Plan To Keep Them For Life. That In And Of It's Self Would Deter Anyone Practicing Stretching For The Wrong Reasons.
Secondly When You Begin Stretching At The Smaller Sizes.. Say 2g. And Down The're is Very Little Risk Of Blowouts Due To the Small Size Of Ear Tissue Being Stretched. That Allows You To Stretch Quicker In The Smaller Sizes; Say... A Week Or Two At Most In Between Stretches, But Again When You're Lobes Feel Ready You Should At Least Attempt A Stretch.
Thirdly When And If You Get To The Bigger Sizes The Risk Of Blowouts/Tears Becomes More Prudent So Maybe Two Or Three Weeks For Me Was Plenty On all My Up Sizes, But Defiantly Not The Overly Cautious 2 Month Wait, But Again You're Ears Know Best
Fourthly Stretching And Wearing Tapers As Jewelry Does No Harm To You're Ears, There Is No Reason To Buy Plugs For Every Size (Save You're Money If You Plan To Go Big).
And Fifthly: AST.RISKE, ViolentJayne, SusiMarie, & corazon_de_oro Don't Know Everything And Are Sometimes Way Too Cautious With They're Advise.
