Discuss all things ear stretching

I took out my 12 mm plug about 6 weeks ago. Hole is downsized to 4-6 mm. Is it going to get any smaller? When I put on some earrings, the hole is very nasty and it disturbs me. :roll:

The whole key is to get smaller plugs, and downsize till you get back to normal. That's how I'm going to do it when I want my ears back to normal, if they will even go back to normal. But I just suggest that you do that so you don't have to deal with your hole just being the way it is. May I ask why your so grossed out about it? And what made you stretch your ears in the first place?

Well I didn't have an original motive anyway. I just liked the idea of making it.
It was a long time ago when I stretched my ear. Recently I decided to take the plug out.. Because I think that was just a phase I was going through. I want to wear different jewellery now. Well I hope that doesn't take a long time to downsize even a little bit. :)

Just leave your plugs out for a day and you will notice they will shrink up quick. My friends gauge closed up a lot after his plug fell out while sleeping and he was at 5/8"

Well, if you were at 12mm it's very possible that it's not going to get any smaller. It might shrink a little but I'd say you're just going to have to deal with it. Why don't you just buy some small plugs or hanging designs?

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!
