Re: fresh stretch
Since you just moved up a size i think you still have to wait around 4 to 6 weeks for it to heal till you can wear things like silicone or wood.aBn wrote:So i just taped up to 00 and i was curious about how long i should wait to wear silicone, i was thinking about 2 weeks but im new to wearing silicone so im not sure ive always wore SSS

Re: fresh stretch
If it's done correctly, stretching shouldn't create any open wounds so they don't really need to "heal" before wearing silicone. Silicone shouldn't be in brand new stretches because they're more prone to irritation but you don't need to wait that long. Honestly I've worn silicone a couple days after a stretch. I never leave silicone in for very long, though. I'd say a week or two is fine to wait for most people.

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!
