Its never a bad idea to go to 1g, or 7mm I believe, first.

Re: 2g to 0g

I already have both sets of tapers and plugs for 2g and 0g and i am scared!
It's seems like its twice as big :o

But everyone that I've talked to never made that much of a big deal about it.

Re: 2g to 0g

If you have the tapers, you could always try, and if there's pain/resistance, you could stop and source some 1g tapers/plugs? :D Everybody's body is different, I s'pose.

Re: 2g to 0g

Go with what Gutter said. I found that to be an easy stretch even though most say it was their hardest. Doesn't hurt to try unless it literally starts to hurt :P
The sound of gun fire so loud and rapid, but it seems to be so quiet around me, and out of nowhere I feel peace cover me. I reach down and reload my ticket home. The taste of cold steel on my lips, and a second later silence fills the January air...

Re: 2g to 0g

1G is definitely a good idea, or you could use tape to gradually move up. 2G-0G is really too big of a jump for most people.

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!

It is, at least it's about twice as large of a stretch as 4g-2g is. So 1g is always a good idea, and teflon taping is the ideal way to go whether you stop at 1g or not. Lots and lots of waiting sure don't hurt either.

Re: 2g to 0g

Does regularly pulling on your lobes (gently...) help loosen them up at all or is that more the case with the bigger sizes?

Re: 2g to 0g

well i just stretched my ears to a 0g yesterday and i found that it has definately been the worse stretch i've had. i tried 2 weeks ago to put it in but it had sum resistance so i waited 2 weeks now i put them in but they still had a small bit of resistance but i have them in. They didn't hurt to bad the first 10 minutes they were in but after about a good 20 minutes after i had them in they began to burn like hell!!! idk if its supose to hurt when there in because its just a big jump or did i do something wrong?

i think a 1g would be best to go for to avoid this big painful stretch i just went through.
0g ears

Re: 2g to 0g

sammy- there should never be pain when stretching. could be a very good idea to put in some 1g plugs for some months before going back up to 0g.
