So i just stretched to 2g tonight. I'm happy because that was my minimum size goal. But I'd still really like to get to 0g or maybe even 00. The problem is that the hole in my left ear is very low and I don't want it to rip or anything. Heres my ear with just my 2g taper in:
Thanks for any help:)
Your piercings do look very low... Some people find that their lobes thicken by downsizing and re-stretching, as well as daily massages with emu oil. Also, never wear tapers as jewelry. They can put uneven pressure on your lobes and cause blowouts or even thinning. There's really no way for us to tell you whether or not you'll be able to get to your goal size, you'll just have to use your best judgement. If you're going to 0G I'd highly recommend finding some 1G jewelry first; 2G-0G is a HUGE jump and can cause a lot of problems, even for people without thin lobes. Good luck!

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!
Thanks for the input:)
I've heard about emu oil before, I just have to find a place around me that sells it because my mom hates me ordering things online. I have vitamin e oil, but I found out that's really only good for breaking down scar tissue. I got it at a local health food store, do you think they would have emu oil there too?
Also, don't worry. I never leave tapers in for more than a minute, therefore never wearing them as jewelry:)
You can easily stretch to a 00g, there is plenty of lobe there . Just take your time and dont stretch to fast. Also if you dont have any single flared plugs, then wearing your tapers is fine. People say not to wear tapers (they weren't meant to be worn all the time), but its not gonna do anything bad.
Lobes=1/2"
Left nostril=18g
Throw your diamonds in the sky. We'll stay gold forever.
Nothing is wrong with wearing light tapers or short tapers. Its just at bigger sizes they weigh a lot and cause the hole to become uneven. And the longer they get the mors junk they get caught on and thats just annoying everyday. If you can find shorter tapers that dont weigh much, you can wear them safely. If there metal I wouldnt go past a 10g or 8g.
