But we're not waiting "longer than we need to." I know for a fact that if I stretched faster my lobes would look like crap. Believe me, if I could have stretched every week I would have!

And we're not forcing our opinion at all. You're free to do whatever you want with your ears. Just keep in mind that your lobes will be on your body forever and it's not always the best idea to listen to the person who tells you to go fast. Even if it's what you want to hear.
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!

Your Ears Might Not Have Been Ready To Stretch So Quickly, But I Think Plugs Falling Out, Is A Sign To Stretch, And That Is Why I Made This Post Originally. When I Find the Answer I Had Already Assumed To Be Correct From Nic I Was Excited, But After Further Reading It Was Suggested To Be A Bad idea so I Choose To Wait About A Week, And Now After I Have Had Success From The Advise given You People Insist On Warning, And Trying To Scare Tactic Me Into Waiting Way Longer Than Necessary..
Please Help Me Understand?

The main thing we were/are trying to convey is that just because your ears tightened up after a week doesn't mean they are ready yet. Monster posted something from Pauly Unstoppable that might be helpful to you. It is an explanation about the tissue that makes up your earlobe. Ultimately, stretching too fast can cause your ears to heal in dangerous ways, losing elasticity and causing thinning. When ears get too loose too fast, it makes me think there might be a problem. The last time I heard of something like that, it was a girl who lost her lobes. They just tore right away from her head. It was quite recent and it sticks out in my mind. When I heard you say something similar about your lobes getting so loose, I thought of her. This isn't intended to be a scare tactic, but simply something that felt way too familiar. Other people have similar tales they have encountered.

In the end, I don't want to see someone lose all the hard work they've done. I would love to see a world full of beautifully stretched lobes. Including yours. : )

Why the "pansy" thing? I seriously don't get that... do you think it's that we want to avoid pain? Because all of us have other modifications that were painful, and we can handle it. Stretching is just not supposed to hurt. All we want is healthy lobes because they're going to be attached to our faces for life!

Probably 6G-4G, I think I waited 8 weeks for that one. And to be honest I should've waited longer because it stung a little. My ears take a long time to loosen up!

To quote other forums, don't feed the troll. I'm done with this. He's still calling names because he's trying to get people riled up. Radcaz, I am excusing myself from this idiocy.
