HI all im new to stretching, I have got a 2.5mm in both ears at the moment and metal tunnel's. Should i Waite 4-5 weeks before going up to 3.2mm? I have been fast at healing when i got my other piercings and tattoo's done. I know this is different and i don't want to mess it up. cheers

6-8 weeks is a good guideline but some people might actually need longer. I know I've had to wait longer between most sizes. Stretches don't really need to "heal" like piercings and tattoos because they're not open wounds (if done correctly). They just need time to loosen up so you can put in the next size without pain or resistance.

Most everyone will tell you 6 to 8 weeks.. I do agree.. that is an excellent time line. But i stretch one size every 5 weeks and it works out great for me with no problems thus far! Except when i tried stretching with PTFE tape at only 8g it griped my skin and got a tiny tear. But using my Concave tapers every 5 weeks has worked flawlessly for me. If i waited longer would it be even better? Of course but i don't have patience so 5 weeks is plenty for me and my lobes. But it does not mean that 5 weeks will be enough for every one alot of people need longer! but i for sure wouldn't stretch any sooner then that!

Thank's guys for your reply's. Right i will Waite 5-6 weeks and give it a try. I had no problems putting the 2.5mm taper in, a body ring was already 2mm lol. But was advised not to jump straight for a 3.5mm was this right?

yeah you should not skip sizes even the small ones . they set a good foundation for the bigger stretches .. and a 1 mm jump is big no matter what size you are at
