So it's time for me to wait now, how long do I wait?

So I was at 14 ga for idk, maybe a year because I just didn't find the effort to stretch for that entire time. In the last three weeks, I've gradually taped and tapered until I've gotten to 12 ga with one slight layer of PTFE tape around it (because I prefer my plug to be covered by PTFE at all times due to how inert and biocompatible it is). So my question is, do I wait 6-8 weeks starting now or can I wait only 3-5 weeks because I did such a small stretch over very small increments?

Do you plan on stretching with a taper to 10g? If that's what you want to do then i think 1-3 weeks would be sufficient, but if you plan to keep taping up to 10g you can continue to do that with no wait, sense taping is so gradual it really requires no wait, just go slow, don't add a bunch of layers every day.

You do have to wait with tape... you pause between every size just like any other stretching method.
But I would say wait about 6 weeks. You can TRY at a minimum of 4-5 weeks but make sure you listen to your body. If it hurts, stop and wait.

Thanks for the replies. My logic was that, hypothetically, if I took six weeks to very gradually go up one size, then I wouldn't have to wait at all and continue at that pace. I haven't read anything specifically about taping from anyone who has a lot of experience with it.
