Re: wearing surface
You're up to 7/16 in only three months? 
You're stretching way, way, way too fast!

Re: wearing surface
Wow you are stretching too fast. I would downsize if I were you. Or better yet go naked, and start over once they are healed in about six months. I doubt your lobes are healed enough to even try to put in earskins.
I have been stretching for just over a couple months and I'm only at a 10g. I can't imagine how much pain my ears would be in if I stretched that fast. I know the wait sucks, but I kind of enjoy seeing how well my ears are healing knowing that I am going slowly.
Good luck with your stretching.

Re: wearing surface
i have earskins right now. i did go through some pain but only when i went to a 14g to a 10g then a 2g to a 0g and then a 00g to a 7/16 and they only got infected when they went from a 4g to a 2g. and whenn i went to a 7/16. and i know they arent healed that much. they look a little gross but its okay. im gonna stay at 7/16 for awhile and then silicone stretch to 1/2 
but thanks for the replies, and i figured out the wearing size of my ears
