Hi everyone , I just got my new 6 ga jewelry ordered and I should be able to upsize this weekend :) My 8 ga are slippin sliding and all but falling out so yesterday after a shower I decided to see how far my 6ga taper would go in just to get an idea of how close i was to 6 and it just slid thru :) I wouldnt even call it a stretch my ears just grew on there own lol .. 6 was my original goal size but now Im thinking that my ears will probably go to a 4 on their own to so its my new goal size , and I honestly think that if I wanna stay at 4 ill have to sleep with naked lobes or they might just keep on expanding lol I never knew ear stretching was so easy :)

p.s I have been wearing my 8 ga for about a month but I think my ears were already about a 7 ? when I put them in ...I guess because they were loose right from the get go and over the last month really expanded :) ( I have been wearing spirals cause the plugs are just way to loose to stay in . once I get the 6 ga in I plan on leaving them for 2 -3 months before moving to 4

when you have heavier jewelry in, like steel or glass your ear will stretch a bit because of the weight.
Spirals are heavier too, like tapers and pinchers. You can use weights to stretch your ears too. But it wouldn't become a nice round hole then.

My ears never stretched on their own. I'm not wearing heavy jewerly just because it's not comfortable.

So if you don't want your ears to stretch any further on their own, I recommend wearing acryl (only if your lobes are fully healed) or bone or horn :3
