Hey guys! I had my ears pierced at a 16g about a month an a half ago (June 23rd, i believe) and then about a month later (under the discretion of my sister) I stretched to a 12g on July 21st. The stretch went in effortlessly, but i did have a bit of a burn for a while. i had used tapers, which i wore for a few days. i switched to wearing the little plugs that she had after a couple days. i've been cleaning them twice a day with trisan (an antimicrobial soap that my sis said was good) as well as using holey buttr to keep everything moist. i wish i came across here sooner because i feel like i might be doing this wrong. my sister is saying i should be okay to stretch again (shes saying to 8g, but i think im gonna stick with going to 10g) in 3-5 weeks. im guessing this is a bad idea? help a brotha out!
thanks.
