I am at 2g at the moment and have been for the past week, been checking around the net but thought I would post on here for some advice from people with experience. Just wondering how lon I should wait before taking the step to 0g, if I should use any oils or lubes or just try get it in first after a hot shower as I have been doing so far. Any other tips would be much appreciated thanks!

1st always use an oil. I prefer jojoba oil but theres alot u can use. 2nd always wait atleast 6-8 weeks in between stretches maybe longer. 3rd if u want to stretch make the 2g-0g stretch everybody is different some can i perfer people not to do that stretch. There are 1g plugs u can get to help with that stretch. Or you can consider taping use ptfe "teflon" tape only. Hope this helps
My left lobe is 1/2" my right is 00g.

Well im not there yet but when im getting ready to do my 2g to 0g stretch im going to stretch to 1g first! You can get a Concave Taper from Kingsbodyjewlery.com and right now they have the 1g taper on clearance for only $1.00.. yep thats it one dollar!! Thats the way im going to do it. I feel going from 2g to 0g is just way to big of a jump with out going to 1g first! Less chance of problems.. and youll have healthier lobes!

when u get to 2g u should try taping u really dont want to have to use tapers. wait 6-8 weeks and then u can tape up your plugs slowly.u can use ptfe or bondage tape it may take a few days but its alot better on your ears

In my opinion 1G is essential. The 2G-0G jump is huge, just compare the jewelry side by side. You can find 1G stuff on bodyartforms.com, crazy-factory.com and a few other places. :)
I'm Lindsay.
I have 1/2" lobes and 11 piercings: left helix x2, both conches, both nostrils, septum, navel, and VCH.
My lobes are small but I know a lot about stretching and how to do it safely, so message me if you have any questions!
