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. : )
Battle not with monsters lest ye become a monster; and if you gaze into the abyss the abyss gazes into you.
