Earstretching.net

Hiya everyone I'm currently at 2G and have been since May, so a good 4 months now! I've been wearing a stainless steel tunnel for most of that time. I tried to stretch up to 0G yesterday and expected it to go straight through (silly me!) but it stopped at about 7mm. My ear was quite swollen and stinging a bit. Is that normal? I had a struggle undoing my tunnel so I stressed my ear out a bit so it was bright red and swollen to start with! I left the taper (acrylic) half way through for a few hours to see if my ear would calm down a bit and decided to downsize back to 2G for now as it was still stinging.
So my question is, if I hadn't had such a kerfuffle with my plug, do you think it would've been fine? Or is it normal that it stopped just over half way?
Thanks babes xo

Its a 2mm stretch try finding a set of 1g plugs to help with that stretch idk what websites sale them but others on here do. And ur welcome babe lol

Bodyartforms sells 1g and i would say u should try taping with bondage or ptfe tape for that size and not use tapers they can really tear up your lobes

^^^^^^agreed. Use tape not tapers. Especially starting around the sizes you are mentioning. Bondage tape is awesome, I find it better and more durable than PFTE. I use it on two of my three stretches and am about to start on my third with it, a 4g tunnel.

I agree with the others about 1G, I believe it's absolutely essential because 2G-0G is just too big of a stretch for most people to make on their own. Try bodyartforms.com or crazy-factory.com.

I don't think there's anything wrong with using tapers as long as your ears are ready. You probably won't need one if your ears truly are ready to stretch but some people just prefer to use them. I've heard kingsbodyjewelry.com has 1G tapers for really cheap.

Thanks everyone. I'll leave my 2G tunnel in for a while longer just incase I did any damage. The tape method sounds good, I never thought to try that. I'll do some research and give it a go
