so im pretty much new to stretching i started about 3 months ago and i have a 7/16 in one ear and a 00g in the other. i want to get a new pair of silicone plugs but i dont know how to figure out my wearing surface. i bought some 7/16 Kaos silicone eyelets and i dont know what the wearing size is but they seem a little too thin and tend to fall out the back of my ear at night. please hellp me

You're up to 7/16 in only three months?

You're stretching way, way, way too fast!

Wow you are stretching too fast. I would downsize if I were you. Or better yet go naked, and start over once they are healed in about six months. I doubt your lobes are healed enough to even try to put in earskins.

I have been stretching for just over a couple months and I'm only at a 10g. I can't imagine how much pain my ears would be in if I stretched that fast. I know the wait sucks, but I kind of enjoy seeing how well my ears are healing knowing that I am going slowly.

Good luck with your stretching.

i have earskins right now. i did go through some pain but only when i went to a 14g to a 10g then a 2g to a 0g and then a 00g to a 7/16 and they only got infected when they went from a 4g to a 2g. and whenn i went to a 7/16. and i know they arent healed that much. they look a little gross but its okay. im gonna stay at 7/16 for awhile and then silicone stretch to 1/2 :mrgreen:

but thanks for the replies, and i figured out the wearing size of my ears

Hmm.... standard to 7/16" in 3 months... oh, I wonder what the problem could be there. :roll:
