Hi there, my name is Abigail and I have been stretching for about three years now; since the age of 16. Do the math and you'll figure my age. I am now at 36mm which is between 1 & 3/8ths and 1 & 1/2. Decent size for right now but my goal is 41mm. This post has a point; point being if your a cheap bastard like I am and don't want to waste money buying all of the in between sizes and you upscale to get beautiful ears, then choose the enlightened path... of grabbing household stuff and making them your bitches. I recently had a blowout, and had to downsize to I don't even know the Milimeter size. But I took two Blistex jars, the mini blue ones, put stretching tape around it (don't know specific name); oiled my suckers up and Vuala, two dollar plugs, (and chapstick if needed). Another great plug to use is bottle caps. Soda pop to be specific, just sterilize it, tape those babies up and pop em in, IF they are your right size or next size up, or in my case next size down. Here's a few others in list form.
- wine cork (tape really well, wine corks are pourous and can be damaging to ears so TAPE WELL)
- snapple caps ( NOT for Fat lobes like me)
- crayola paint ( the plastic tubes that hold the paint)
- magic marker caps ( can be cut down)
*Note: these objects are way past 00 and 000 sizes. Big lobes rock and are intended. Hope this helped. bye

How about some real jewelry in 9mm?

Seriously, stretching with random stuff is really not a good idea. Even if it is taped, you have no way of knowing what size you're at which makes it very easy to skip sizes (probably why you got a blowout). I mean, they're your ears and I'm not telling you to stop, I just don't think it's good to tell other people to do the same thing when they could hurt themselves. A lot of people who read this might not even bother to use tape and just decide to shove random objects in their ears.

Yep, that's the best way to do it. I usually only buy jewelry when I can get a discount. I know it's waaaay more expensive when you have big lobes but still, it's worth it to just save up. I'd rather keep my lobes small and wear pretty plugs than have taped up chapstick containers in my ears but that's just me...
