Okay, so after researching everything i could about stretching, i decided to do it. so i bought 4 sizes from 16 up.so yesterday i went and bout 8s. I had the 14 in for about a month 12s we about 3 weeks.... and i have had 10s in since maybe the end of September. something went wrong one week and i had to put back in the 12s because my 10s were hurting me out of nowhere. so about 3 weeks ago i put in the 10s and today i tried to switch to the 8s but it HURT sooooo bad. last week they did smell a bit but i started cleaning them differently... now i clean them in the morning and at night. it feels like i keep on having trouble with this size and i dont understand it. its like im stuck at 10s and cant do anything else...can someone please give me some advice... tell me what im doing wrong.

your ears are just simply not ready. there is a basic guide to wait-time (at least 6-8 weeks between each stretch), but everybody is different, and yours simply just may need more time. downsize back to 10g, do sea salt soaks (1/4 tsp non-iodized salt ((sea salt, kosher, epsom)) for every cup of water) twice daily and clean with an anti-bacterial/anti-microbial soap, then after 2 weeks start massaging with vitamin e or jojoba oil. Try again in another 6 weeks or so. Good luck!
