Weights

Hi all,

I have been wearing my 3.2mm Screw backs and single flared tunnels (8G) for roughly 3 months now and still my ear lobes are not ready for the next size up. I do my lobe massages everyday and still nothing. I am not wanting to force the taper through as I don't want to damage my lobes.
My question is can I weigh (just a bit not too heavy) my tunnels down with a pair of rings threaded through them? All comments welcome.

As I said I'm not in any hurry but would just like to help them along a little :D

Many thanks in advance for the help......

Re: Weights

Wearing really heavy stuff can cause your lobes to thin out a little, but since you're still at a small size and rings usually aren't that heavy I'd say it's worth a try. :)

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!

Re: Weights

How heavy are the rings you're wanting to use? TBH I think you'll be fine, especially if you're wearing them through tunnels.

Re: Weights

i wore an 8 ga stainless steel spiral in my " tighter" lobe for about a month before going to 6 , I think the slight extra weight helped it loosen a little , at 8 ga its not going to be super heavy , but tunnels are almost weightless so I think it helped me , I just wouldnt wear it in a super large size for a long time
