just because they look ok now doesnt mean they will stay looking good ...I know someone who stretched to 00 sort of fast .. they went from 18 to 00 in like 4 stretches so they really only skipped a few sizes and their ears looked great for a while but now 6 years later .. they are a little thinned not horrible but still they say if she could do it over they wouldnt have skipped any sizes or went near as fast .. its all about the long term health and beauty of the ears ...

one question I have is .. who are you racing ? Why do you need to go so fast ?

this doesnt have to be a competition.....

You ear is not ok. It might feel fine, but you just messed it up for real. You're gonna do what you're gonna do, but then why even ask. Obviously these other people that have done this don't have any serious stretching experience, they are mutilating not modifying. No one here is going to judge, we are here because for whatever reason we want to stretch, but in a positive, careful, responsible way.
Don't ask for advice if you are just going to talk down to the people giving advice.

Don't assume that just because two people did it it's perfectly safe for you to do it too. If I had two friends who survived jumping off a bridge would that make it safe?

Also, I bet your friends' lobes are wrinkly and misshapen when they take out their plugs.

Stretching that many sizes was a bad idea, but I guess you're similar to me and don't like downsizing once you've reached a higher gauge, so all I can suggest is this:

- Daily sea-salt soaks.
- Daily oil rubs with jojoba oil if possible, but emu oil and vitamin e oil work great as well.
- Baby those ears like there's no tomorrow.
- Never skip sizes again. Seriously. It's not worth it, if you get a blowout or rip your ear or get an infection.
- Wait until you are 112% sure that your ears are healed and you're ready to stretch up (Your pinchers or whatever else you might be wearing in your ears should slide and move around easily in there, and/or if you tug down on it you can see between the lobe hole and the jewellery.), then, wait some more.
