Noob @ Stretching needs some answers :D

Well first things first, im new to stretching i got to 6g a month ago since i have been stretching for a while. but im still new to it.

Question 1 - is it normal for my stretching piercing to be sorta an oval shape
Question 2 - How long should i wait after getting a piercing done on my right ear to stretch it to the next size?
Question 3 - any suggestions on organizing plugs/tapers?


Thanks in advance. :D

If you're meaning how long should you wait after getting a fresh piercing? Usually 6+ months. If you're saying how long should you wait after each stretch, atleast a month, and after that let your ears deceide. If a taper does not slide through with ease wait a few more weeks and give it another go.

And for organization, these are amazing.

But if you are still at 6g I suggest using something like a small case.
(Hardware stores have them, ones made for washers, nuts, screws, bolts, ect.)

Stretching your ears is by nature a slow process and if you rush it your ears are going to look like ****, they won't close back up if you take them out and so on and so forth.
