Increasing ear lobe elasticity?

[brutalSKITTLES]

Try stretching with silicone:] it worked for me. You just have to lube it a bunch with like vitamin E

I've been at 0g for a little over 2 months, so I don't know if that's the typical amount of time you should wait at that size, but whatever, my ears definitely weren't having it haha

Yeah, I started massaging with jojoba oil ever since then, so I'll keep that up and hope it helps.

Looking for 9mm ones sounds like a good idea. I remember it helped a ton when I went to 1g before going to 0g.

Thanks for the advice :]

Why are you recommending electrical tape? Yeah you use it yourself but that still doesn't mean other people should. *facepalm* at some of the advice people give on here....

becuz i use it an i have had no problems an if it can help others then its worth a try. if he has a reaction like a lil iratation then he can take it off. what do u mean *facepalm*?

Go for Teflon taping! It's much more gradual and almost 0 pain!

Yeah I know I just don't understand how they can't be ready after all this.

"All this?" Like two months is just such an unbelievably long time? That's usually the minimum amount of time my lobes take to be ready for a stretch... it's not like she's been at 0G for three years.

Yeah but that's YOUR ears. Or maybe your ethnicity ? Here everyone can EASILY stretch after 2-3 weeks without effort...

Well that's what most people do here too, but most people here with stretched lobes have really disgusting ones. The only people I know with healthy-looking lobes really took their time with them. I seriously doubt that "everyone" can stretch every 2-3 weeks without pain or resistance. Think about how much pressure you put on your ear every time you stretch. If you don't allow plenty of time for it to relax and loosen up it's just going to get weak and eventually tear. Yeah, maybe some people get lucky when they stretch quickly, but it's really not a good idea.

I don't even know why I bother telling you this, though. You're just going to ignore it and think I'm wrong because my lobes are smaller than yours.

You can get 9mm on Body Jewellery Shop and Body Art Forms.

Using tape might be the other option, like other people have suggested, but I've never used it myself.

I'm sure you could've avoided that blowout if you would've been more patient with stretching, though. I'm not saying that stretching every 2-3 weeks will make your ears rip in half and fall off, just that they won't look as nice as they could. Also, you could be building up scar tissue without even realizing it.
