Hi Everyone,
My names Matt, new to EARSTRETCHING.NET so thanks for having me!

Wanted to know what you guys thought...
I'm currently sat at a 6g/4mm stretch. I've been at this size for 2 weeks now and my lobe feels good, i've given it a salt bathe everyday twice a day and have been using jojoba ear creme to message into the lobe too. It feels and looks totally healed.
I have a taper to move up to 4g/5mm. Even though everything seems cool i'm a little unsure if i should do it yet due to the short ammount of time since my last stretch? Ive red other posts and seen advice to wait 4/6/8 weeks ect... is that normal even if the lobe is okay?

Do you think i should wait any longer and if so how long?

Any help and advice would be awesome.
Cheers !

Matt

You should wait at least 6 weeks and actually longer, because although your lobe feels fine, it has no way near enough time to bulid new skincells in two weeks- and this will end you up with thin, catbutty lobes. The recommended intervals are:

Fresh piercing to first stretch: Approx 5 to 6 months
16g to 14g - 1 month
14g to 12g - 1 month
12g to 10g - 1.5 months
10g to 8g - 2 months
8g to 6g - 3 months
6g to 4g - 3 month
4g to 2g - 3 months
2g to 0g - 4 months
0g to 00g - 4 months

So sit tight and remember that it is a permanent mod and you want it to look good, cos it will be there for the rest of your life.

Cheers Acacia.
I'll sit tight for now then!

Glad to hear it
