2g to 0g help

[lithod02]

I work in a corporate environment and can't wear my tunnels or plugs during the day. I have made it to 2g just wearing tunnels at night and weekends, with the help of tapers. But I can't seem to make it to 0g. I tried using a 0g taper and blew out my lobe. Any suggestions on going to 0g? I have a taper set up to 0g.

Im abit of a noob but my suggestion is you could use a glass spiral maybe a colourless one and push it through slow too reduce the chance of blowouts and try hide it? Or just put it in every night and at weekend and push it through a tiny bit more every night until you get too 0g then too make sure you have an even stretch use your taper?

Hope this helps and isn't stupid as it is my first post

That actually sounds like a good idea, I also bought some 2g circular barbells that have a little bit of weight to them and wore those at night and on weekends, then tugged on them lightly to help loosen the hole. It seems 2g - 0g is a big jump for some people. But I guess it is harder for me as I cant wear them constantly. I may also try the tapeing method with my single flare tunnels.

:) Glad too help!

Im not a fan of barbells but that sounds like a good idea, I agree it is quite a big jump but if you look really hard on the internet you might be able too find 1g tapers and jewelry? Tape sounds like a good plan because tape (from what i've read) is a good way of stretching slow :)

Glad I helped Liam :)

If your having problems hiding your stretched lobes get kaos clear earskins. They make it look like there's nothing in your ears plus thete damn comfortable. I use them at my work all the time. The only thing is that you want to make sure your ears completly healed or else you'll get a nasty infection because silicon is a porous material and will hold bacteria.
