hi,

So I know this reply may be a little late but I hope the following answers your questions.

If one ear feels less elastic than the other, then it will effect how large you can stretch. However, daily massaging with Jojoba oil can help your skin regain it's elasticity, but that's not what you're ...

Please don't try stretching them after a week. I know this reply is a little late, and I hope it's not too late but my advice would be for you to wait a whole month before trying to stretch again.

Hi phoebsdev,

It's absolutely fine to stretch without using a taper. It's simply easier with a taper device. However a taper shouldn't be used once you pass 10mm (00g) anyway.

My only advice would be to not used a flared plug or tunnel and make sure your ears have fully healed before you attempt ...

Hi sharlibird,

Does it look visibly swollen? If it looks visibly swollen with a red ring of raw flesh even though it does not feel raw then ...

Taking extra care of your ears will help your ears stretch faster with less complications, but if I was to tell you how many weeks you can shave off the normal recommended wait time would be really foolish of me.

Everyone is different and depending where your ears are in it's stretching journey ...

How long are you wearing your acrylic plugs in?

I have nothing against acrylic plugs, I think its a great material to get awesome designs out, but it really isn't a material made for daily use. Acrylic plugs are more fashion pieces than everyday wearing plugs.

If you hadn't said anything, I would of guessed it was your ears getting irritated by the steel. However, if you are sure that your ears are not reacting to the steel, then it may just be weather conditions.

Humid hot weather, or dry cold weather often irritates the ear lobes because it wreaks ...
