lol .. as suspected my left ear was already 4 ga i dead stretch it when My new 4 ga jewelry came in the mail this afternoon no prob at all .. it looks and feels awesome .. but good old righty wants to be difficult I tried to taper and its just so close but then I feel a lil resistance and dont wanna push it ..so It looks like Ill be tapeing the right one for a few weeks to get that extra fraction of a mil in there ... but Im really excited to have one ear at 4 ga when I even up ill post pics with some of the new jewelry Ive ordered including my new ear skins ( I can not wait to be able to wear them when Im good and healed at 4 )

good luck with taping! and remember to give your ear little tugs and "play" with them. helps the circulation and elasticity i find

well no taping needed .. I just waited a few more days ( while wearing some heavier glass) took a nice hot shower and massaged my ears as usual and before I put my six back in I decided to try a 4 again and it went right in no pain and very minimal if any resistance , I went to the fair right after and being out in the wind my hair was brushing against it alot and I felt a bit of a sting a few times ( so I started to get nervous )but it wasnt red or swollen and this morning it feels prefect now I am nice and even and at my GOAL ! at least for now ...there is only one more type of jewelry that I can not get in this size and its "liquid filled spirals" the smallest Ive found them in are 2 ga ... so you never know In the future they might get to tempting and Ill size up to 2 GA ....but for now Im investing in some pricier 4ga jewelry to keep me happy

My ears are like that too. It used to be that my right ear was the loose one and my left ear was difficult, then they flip-flopped when I got to about 2G.
