After browsing around, I saw some wood plugs I really loved. A few pairs of circular inlays (Ebony with olive wood in middle). The more I stretched and meddled with smaller sizes, the more and more I wanted to continue stretching. I kept visualizing them at a bigger size, 5/8s or so, and really ...

I would give taping a try for 0g to 00g. Or even 1g to 0g. Much less stress on the lobes, and once you learn to easily wrap and compress the tape it's a breeze. I threw out my tapers after a few rips and irritations in favor of a nice roll of PTFE and my next size of jewelery. Tapers were always too ...

I don't hate them, they're just very troublesome. Been at a 2g in my left lobe for around 5 months, and started taping for the last two months/1.5 months or so. My jewelery was less than a mm from 0 from the tape. I was dicking around with some old 0g tapers in a kit I had bought, no pain, no ...

I think you'll be just fine. I used to worry the same thing. You'll be able to push more of your fistula out as you stretch. Just take it slow and do some sea salt soaks to help with the irritation, and jojoba oil massages when healed). Best of luck!

I've noticed a small bump in my left lobe for around 6-8 months now. No problems with it, I figured it was one of my few small ear cysts. (Common problem, don't hurt, benign). I noticed it at 6g and I'm at around a 1g now. When I remove my jewelery I see a small bump in my fistula from that cyst ...

I bought a taper set around last November, and at the moment I'm at a 2g in my left lobe. I got my right lobe pierced at 16g about two months and a week ago, currently waiting to stretch. No pain or anything, but I'm giving it a bit to be safe. The only bump I had with my left was going from 6g to ...

I've been wearing the acrylic tapers, but I haven't had any problem with them as far as the material goes. Even now, my ears aren't bothering me much, aren't irritated and such, but the process of inserting a fairly large taper with just a bit of pain then none at all with an odd feeling fistula ...

Hey everyone. I know this bit would belong in the intro section, but I'd been looking for a community for stretching and figured I'd sign up. I'll try and help out advice seekers and contribute the best I can.

To move on, my stretching history:
All tapers used so far were from a 14g-0g acrylic ...
