Stretching from 2g to 0g... Advice please.

I am at 2g at the moment and have been for the past week, been checking around the net but thought I would post on here for some advice from people with experience. Just wondering how lon I should wait before taking the step to 0g, if I should use any oils or lubes or just try get it in first after a hot shower as I have been doing so far. Any other tips would be much appreciated thanks!

1st always use an oil. I prefer jojoba oil but theres alot u can use. 2nd always wait atleast 6-8 weeks in between stretches maybe longer. 3rd if u want to stretch make the 2g-0g stretch everybody is different some can i perfer people not to do that stretch. There are 1g plugs u can get to help with that stretch. Or you can consider taping use ptfe "teflon" tape only. Hope this helps

Well im not there yet but when im getting ready to do my 2g to 0g stretch im going to stretch to 1g first! You can get a Concave Taper from Kingsbodyjewlery.com and right now they have the 1g taper on clearance for only $1.00.. yep thats it one dollar!! Thats the way im going to do it. I feel going from 2g to 0g is just way to big of a jump with out going to 1g first! Less chance of problems.. and youll have healthier lobes!

Hmm Idk What Stretch I'll Do When I Get To 2g Then Size Up. I Think 1g Would Be The Best Idea, But Who Knows.

when u get to 2g u should try taping u really dont want to have to use tapers. wait 6-8 weeks and then u can tape up your plugs slowly.u can use ptfe or bondage tape it may take a few days but its alot better on your ears

In my opinion 1G is essential. The 2G-0G jump is huge, just compare the jewelry side by side. You can find 1G stuff on bodyartforms.com, crazy-factory.com and a few other places. :)

I have 1/2" lobes and 11 piercings: left helix x2, both conches, both nostrils, septum, navel, and VCH.
My lobes are small but I know a lot about stretching and how to do it safely, so message me if you have any questions!
