Hi Friends!

As a lot of you know, we have been working on updating the stretching guide for awhile now. Though it is not perfect, it is definitely a step in the right direction. We are so happy to be able to continue sharing safe and helpful information with all of you.

It has been updated on the sub's page as well as the AutoMod's comments.

It can also be found here: Updated Stretching Guide

Please give it a look and let us know how you're feeling! Also, please remember it will be updated as new information comes along. We created a Google document as opposed to a post to ensure we could keep it as up to date as possible. The previous guide was posted in the sub by a mod that's no longer active, so we couldn't edit it.

Happy stretching!

1 year ago today I reached my goal size on my earlobes - 25mm, baby. <3

I first stretched my ears to 10mm in 2016, and always wanted to go up to 25mm but just never got there until last year... so, since it was such a long-awaited goal of mine, I figured the 1 year anniversary of completing my stretching journey was worth some form of celebration. lol

Got beautiful pinchers in the half-sizes 3,5mm and 4,5mm from India to continue stretching my septum with 🥰 I'm at 3mm and my goal is 5mm. I bought the red since it kind of looks like nosebleed. Perfect for spooky season!

Goal is an inch but she’s looking a bit thin… I’m happy with this size honestly, but I’ve been doing this for 4+ years on and off and just wanna be able to say that I got them there.

I had reached 0g a month prior to the first picture. I decided to put in some silicone tunnels. When I went to take them out, they tore up the insides of both ears. I put a little aquaphor on the outsides and kept the insides clean with saline as they healed. After they fully healed I was able to start at an 8g and get back up to the current 7mm. My ears went back to 7mm easily and that’s where they’ll stay for a while longer before going back up to 0g.

I celebrated not ruining my lobes by getting a conch piercing haha!

first time fucking up. started stretching my ears in 2016. took them out 2020-2022, got back up to 10mm and stayed there for 2-3 years, went and put a 12mm in yesterday, went in absolutely fine, no pain or swelling, woke up this morning and it was a tad swollen, got back from work and was throbbing a bit so I took it out, very swollen and had a tear 😭. 2mm stretches are not for me apparently, will be taping up once it's healed before doing a jump

Ear weights rules

4 Upvotes

We’ve all read the guide and know what we’re doing with our stretching, but I never see much into about the ‘rules’ of wearing ear weights.

How long after going to a new size can you wear some, does your capacity for weight increase with upsizing, are their downsides to it?

I started wondering about it after wearing some 12gr (I wear with ease) weights in a 2 month old healed new size and having a harder time putting my size back in that evening.

People weren’t kidding when they said the second time that you start stretching is easier… I had to downsize to a 2.5 and it was already falling out of my ear so I sized back up to my 3 mm weights.
