a way to thickin lobes??

Hey everybody:) I am currently at a 00g and my goal is a 1/2 I'm going to stay at 00 for a month or so as I've stretched rather quickly(altho no pain as my ears were this size about a yr ago and retained the elasticity) but I do wanna thickn the lobes! I've heard of oils that will help but forgot the names:( any suggestions?? Thanks buds:p

I think a month is very fast, and since you have already stretched fast before reach the size you actually are I don't recommend you to go that fast.

Here's a table from BAF with the time that you should wait between sizes:

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

About the oils, the most popular are jojoba, vit E and emu oil but the most important part is the massaging not the oil you choose :)

You are stretching way too fast! At the size you are at now, you need to wait at least 4 months before stretching again- especially since you express a wish to thicken your lobes! Stretching fast gives you a high risk of THIN lobes, as seems to be your case, so slow down. Best way to thicken lobes, is to downsize and do daily massages with a good oil like jojoba, e-vit or emu.

Good luck.

I can tell you that are indeed stretching too fast.
I did too when I first started, but now I know better.
You should probably wait 3-4 months before you even think about stretching again.
I know from expierence of thinning out lobes.
I downsized two sizes(7/8 to 5/8) and I start using Emu Oil on them after every shower and sometimes before I go to bed.
Leaving your plugs out while you sleep or for how long you are able to without them shrinking up will help.
