How long to wait between SS and Stone?

I ordered a pair of cat eye double flare plugs, and then a pair of single flare stainless(for right after stretching). My (silly) question is do I wait for the regular amount of time it would take for it to heal (say 2 months) before I can use the stone? Or should I wait longer since they're double flared and stone.. I'm asking because I've never had double flare or anything organic before xD So I just want to make sure I don't mess anything up.

Thanks for your answer, as always :D

You should be fine doing it like that.
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...

At least a month for organics, or more if you know your piercings take longer to be healed and happy. It might take longer for double flares, depending on the size of the flare and how stretchy your ears naturally are.

Unless she's got extremely non elastic ears (if that's the proper way of putting it), 2 months should be enough time. The best advice any of us can give you in this situation since we don't know how stretchy your lobes are is listen to your ears. If you have to really force it and it hurts to put the plug in then you're not ready. As for the organic material a month should be enough, definitely two months unless you heal incredibly slowly.
