a question about safely stretching to 00g

[Chileenie]

i stretched to a 0g very smoothly useing a round ended plug from benig at a 1g for quite a couple of months. now its been atleast 5 to 6 months ive been at a 0g,and im wanting to stretch to a 00g very soon. i have emu oil and apply it to my ears three times a day,and after applying i leave my plugs out for an hour.Im so glad i bought Emu oil though,just throwing that out there,it has done wonders for my lobes.

anyway,any idea how to go about stretching to 00g safely? i have so many problems with teflon tape,i have some,i just wish someone could tell me in detail how tp wrap it on and put it in your ear without bunching. or will i still be able to dead stretch? im not very sure about dead stretching,but past two times it worked out very well,no pain,no forcing,no blowouts,nothing.

sorry about the long passages,i ramble on..alot

thank you so much for your time and answers.

p.s sorry for the bad spelling and punctuation...

Dead stretching should be fine if they are the 9mil and not 10mil, if they are round ended go ahead.

Personally, I'm not a Teflon stretcher. I'd consult other people about how many winds to do every so-often. But from what I understand is that you MUST keep your ears well-moisturized and lubricated when stretching with bondage tape. If I could change your mind about using tape, I would recommend going to a piercing shop and purchasing a pair of glass color-front plugs. Where I live, they're the healthiest and cheapest default which all professional piercing-only salons use. They can use a nice subtle concave taper for your ears which should minimize trauma (although some places dead stretch. I went to the nicest place and they dead stretched 2 to 0 after a year's wait and they were sore). They should always stretch your jewelry into your ears for you free of charge. As for aftercare, same as always--wear titanium or glass; SSS morning, noon, and night; your oil of choice once COMPLETELY healed.
