Downsizing

Helllloooo there!

I've been at 8g for 3 weeks now and was planning on stretching to 6g next week, but instead I wanted to hear if it would be bad to downsize back to 10g for maybe 2-3 weeks and then stretch up again?

And would it make the process of stretching easier or a bit more tougher?

Just to add more information, I don't have any problems with my ears.. I'm extremely happy and they are healthy :D I just don't have any need of rushing into it, so if the downsizing will help me stretch easier. I'm willing to do it.

Downsizing is always good for your ears, but in this case it'd probably be better to just stay at 8G for an extra few weeks. 4 weeks really isn't long enough between stretches, and the 8G-6G stretch is usually pretty tough so sometimes it requires extra time.

Ill second that downsizing isnt really going to be nececary for you sense your only at a 10g, If anything is going to make your stretching easier down the road stay at your sizes for 6-8 weeks, also start doing oil massages with jojoba or vitamin E oil, to break down scar tissue and promote cell regeneration.
