Soo I'm currently at a 8g (3.2mm) and I have spirals sized at 4mm. So I was wondering if I can stretch with the spirals, say over a weekend, and then just replace them with 4mm plugs after the weekend?
Any tips on spirals will be appriciated

Hmmm... From That I Would Say You Should Wait Another 2 Weeks To A Month (Doubt You'll Will XD) Cause When I Stretched From 6g(4mm) To 4g(5mm) I Felt Slight Pain, (Nothing That Would Make Me Wanna Destroy Everything In My Path But I Did Notice There Was A Slight Sting) And Let Me Remind You I Too Am A Fast Healer And NEVER FELT PAIN While Stretching Before. Unfortunately I Waited Only About 3 Weeks And Thought I Was Good To Go, Luckily The Stinging Only Lasted For Like 10 Seconds.Dems wrote:Oh goodness, probably about 2 to 3 weeks?

If theres no pain or pressure id say go for it but the second u feel pressure stop take it out and waitDems wrote:Oh goodness, probably about 2 to 3 weeks? But my ears heal super fast and had no problems with them in the past?![]()
Agreed I would only use tape or tapers depending on your size, I have friends that have gotten blowouts from pincers, same concept....corazon_de_oro wrote:You should really only be stretching every 6-8 weeks or however long it takes you to be able to put the next size in without pain. It's really not about "healing," as stretching should never create any open wounds that need to heal. It's about your ears loosening up enough to be able to put in larger jewelry without pain or resistance.
Spirals really shouldn't be used to stretch with either since they're awkwardly shaped and heavy, and they can cause blowouts because of the pressure they put on your ears.
