i just quickly wanted to know if its a good thing that it took a year and a half(starting from 14g,i had 14g captives in for three years) to reach to 2g? if im going to fast im going to slow down,i consider taking a break at 00 for a year or so,just so i can make my lobes thick just cause im paranoid of thinning.

thank you for your advice

Yes, that's sounds good. :D
I know everyone has their own opinion about the length of time before stretching to a new size, but to me I think you should just be able to feel that there okay (obviously taking into play what they look like).
Like, if you can pull on them and mess with them or have people touch them and you don't squirm or cry etc then you've done a good job. xD
:D

you should wait 2 weeks for 16g to 12g, then 4 weeks to stretch to 12g to 8g. then six weeks to stretch to 8g to 4g and everything bigger then that at least two months.

That's how I'm going to stretch.

So if you did it something like this it's alright I guess ;-)

EDIT; i meant not to skip sizes, but wait two weeks from 16g to 14g to 12g, etc. ;-)

Lets just say this...it took me 9 months to go from 4g to 3/4" and that was only 6 sizes...taped through a few, didn't skip. So yea, it is normal for it to take that long. Some people think it's ok to skip the smaller sizes, but as others on here have said, that's not the case. The smaller sizes are just as if not more important than the larger sizes. Healthy lookin lobes takes time :)
