I started stretching this year and so I watched videos and I keep coming back to this video lmao. I'm currently at a 10 and will try to stretch to 8 next weekend!
in the last months of 6th grade (june 1st-9th) i didn’t take my pills ( im mentally unstable without them ) i went from a 12 g to a 6 g. the gauges were pre-owned by my friends mother and everyday during first period me and my other friend would sanitize a pair and she would watch me stretch my ears. ( my parents didn’t want me doing this, so they didn’t know) keep in mind i also pierced my own ears during 6th period some random november day, my ears never got infected!! once my folks noticed i wasn’t taking my pills i did a full 180. i threw away my gauges ( regretted ) dyed my pink highlights back to my light brown ( regretted ) my ears went 90% back to the same size, they bigger then most earrings tho. ( i can still wear normal earrings, and i fully regret throwing away my gauges as im looking at this video for the 4th time. ) i also can’t purchase them online, and i can’t leave the house ( house arrest ) so im begging my friends to buy them ( one of my siblings is out of the country, another is out of the city and my last hope lives in his own apartment and obeys my parents when it comes to me ) im 16 by the way. EDIT!!: i used sanitizer as lube and i wouldn’t use the jewelry cause i thought they were ugly so i used the tapers. 😂
I just got my conch and while the actual conch was so painless but an hour later, it was throbbing and in pain. I got it pierced properly at a tattoo shop with a needle. So, I have no worries there but I did not expect such sensitivity. I’ve had my right tragus done and it didn’t hurt but I did have my left tragus and conch done on the same side, on the same day. So, maybe that’s why it’s extra painful but I have had 2 piercings at once before too. The conch honestly hurts afterwards like how my snug piercing did. Even a slight breeze hurts it lol. Didn’t realize how much my ears move too, till I got my conch 🤦🏻♀️
If ya want a *_real_* pain in the booty-butt, get an industrial. 😃 Major commitment, major pain to sleep with. I can pack for a vacation with the bags under my eyes! I've had mine for 4 years now. It's perfectly healed, but can still give issues sometimes... Especially sleeping. My conch? Never a problem. No pain when I got it, no pain after, and I forget I even have it. I'm getting ready to throw a ring in it.
I used to watch this all the time when I was younger, wishing I could stretch my ears. I’m now 16, been stretching for 3 months, and I’m at a 6g… my goal is 0g
Why do I only hear excuses … she says surgery is expensive she wants to be professional and make good impression .. just live your life you will make money get them sowed up when you are actualy done your ears dont define your sucess or professionalism I knew a politic figure with stretched ears and no one really noticed anyways no hate all im saying is to just live your life its not like you are getting tear drop tatoos or anything like that 🤌🏻
Very informative and cool to see your journey. I'm old now and stretching again. I decided to max out at 2g, as you did. Just makes the most sense for me. I like the look of 2g and the variety of options in that size. And if I ever tire of it, I take them out, and it's fine. Not everyone is in a contest to go bigger and not everyone needs a confirmation from someone else on what looks "good." I admire your drive and also your practicality. Who knows, some day you may be in a place in life, like I am, where stretching them out a bit is acceptable. Good luck in whatever you do. 👊🏻
I know this video is 9 years old, but for anyone looking to do their first stretches of ANY size, there should be 0 pain! just pressure. stinging, pinching, and definitely bleeding means you are stretching way too fast and for a lot of people will cause complications i.e.; blowouts, tears, scar tissue. Scar tissue is a lot less elastic than your healthy fresh undamaged tissue therefore stretches much slower and much less even due to uneven skin density and consistency. I highly recommend waiting 4 or more weeks between stretches,. You should see some wiggle room around the jewelry if you pull on it. this would indicate that your skin is fully healed and or settled with the size you have in. then the next size should have no resistance, and a very tiny bit of resistance/pressure if any. stretching is a slow process and it should be done correctly if you are looking for proper results, you will be much happier with a healthy lobe down the line when stretching bigger.
Closing the gauges when theyve gone past 00g is possibe. And I'm currently doing that at home safely. Follow my page for the video on how to using 3 ingredients & cotton swabs. My ears were at 5/8 and have shrunk to abt 2g in one month.
