Stretching 2g to 0g

Hi, I stretched to a 2g about a week ans a half ago and yesterday I bought a 0g (I bought a horn one because I find them the easiest to put in). This morning I tried to get it in but for some reason it wouldn't go in I used Bio Oil as lubrication to help slide it in, but that didn't work either. So do you have any tips that might help get it in, should I buy another taper and try again or is this just the way my body is telling me to wait a while before I go up another size?
Thanks :)

Wait longer your ears are not ready to be stretched if u force them they'll most likely cause a blow out then u would be moving backward instead of forward just take ur time and be patient and they'll stretch

Also we recommend as a group on the forum that "6-8 weeks is our waiting period inbetween stretches sometimes it may be a lil longer"

Re: Stretching 2g to 0g

Also, 2G-0G is a huuuuge stretch so it's a really good idea to get some 1G plugs in between. Try bodyartforms.com or crazy-factory.com to find some.
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!

Really? That long? This is the longest I've had one in, but that's probably because its only been going up 1mm, but now its going up 2mm, and it hasn't been that been that painful so far, but does going from 2g to 0g really hurt?

Re: Stretching 2g to 0g

Oh right, so if I wanted to go straight to 0g I'd have to wait 6-8 weeks, but if I went to 1g would I have to wait the same about of time or could I stretch it within the next week?
