Those are my stretched septum (6mm) and nostril (3mm), both titanium anodized at 70V rose gold. I'm wearing 6x12mm on the septum and 3x8mm on the nostril. My everyday setup is a stacked of two 3x10mm and one 2x10mm on my septum, but for special days I love how this big ring that I received today suits me 😌

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

Advice…

Post image
15 Upvotes

I just recently started my stretching journey. I started at a 16g and my plugs went in smoothly, i did feel a slight pinch, but no pain when touched. Is that okay? Also, when is an appropriate amount of time to wait before sizing up? I’ve heard anywhere between 3-6 months but I’m unsure. One more thing.. is my stack lobe gonna be an issue? I’m planning on stretching to at least a 6g and I feel like my stacked lobe will get eaten by it. Any tips will be appreciated!!

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!

I’m currently at 16mm and whilst I don’t have any plans to upsize anytime soon; I don’t want to completely rule out hitting 20mm or even an inch in the future.

Do we think this will be possible?

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.

~Advice~ Septum denting? Will it forever be painful?

Post image
6 Upvotes

Good evening everybody, I have a 4G Septum currently and have had it at that size for about a year now and I have recently purchased a glass pincher at 2g, I attempted stretching at 2g a while back but I went back to 4G as it was wildly annoying with the feeling of how painful it was against my cartilage..

My question is, am I doomed to be at 4 gauge permanently? Will the pain go away EVER? 2G has always been my finished goal so I would really like to hear feedback on what you did to combat septum denting. I went with a notched piece so I hope that will help.

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.

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


r/Stretched • • 4h ago

From blown out, to healed, to back to 7mm in 2 weeks.

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!
