@@shitface762 i had it too! torn skin got infected i had to take my gauges out :( my lobes are soo tight now i hope fr i dont have scar tissue i want to stretch again after its healed
Cassie what oil are you using? jojoba is awesome!! with olive or cocnut i got a blowout but never with jojoba... and massaging your ears...massage in the shower then stretching after showering... ptfe tape...
It is different per person, sweetheart. Sometimes your lobes just don't wanna stretch, even if you honestly feel they're ready. Also, it's possible you just put the jewelry in too fast, or didn't use the proper lube for your skin. My skin personally is very sensitive, and even as a child with pierced lobes, I was allergic to hypoallergenic as well. So try different oils and lubes that work best with your lobes. I'm at an inch and 1/4, and I have a quite minor blowout in my left lobe only, and I treat with vitamin E and essential oils !
Yea same I've blown out the same ear three different times even after waiting months . Fml I took out the jewelry again imma let it heal again n massage it . But Idk I might just need to get it cut out instead if stretching it .
Thanks man... I'm pretty ashamed I got a blow out tbh... I know I haven't been very good with my ears knowing how they are, but I never thought I'd get an actual blowout. I mean it isn't THAT bad, it's not even the whole circumference of my ear, it's just like half of my ear, but still, like wow. I'm upset lol
soulsmusic15 yeah same! I went from 16G and now I'm at 18 mm. My left ear takes stretches like a pro but for the first time ever I had a blowout in my right ear. I've had tears before but never a blowout before. Freaked me out lol.
Same, I tried to go from 16mm to 18mm and blew out horribly on one side the other side stretched no problem but I took it out and downsized because at this rate my 16mm hole looks like a brand new pierced hole it’s so swollen shut I take so much pride in my gauges this shit mentally fucked me up
Been doing this for 3 weeks or so now with both my ears. Had a blow out from years ago I didn’t take care of them on my right ear and a small one on my left ear which isn’t that bad but the right ear was major but been doing this religiously every day for 3 weeks and already seen a major difference in my ears! Thanks for this! 🙏🏻
I love using Vitamin E Oil for my lobes. I do it twice a day for about 5 minutes. I've noticed my lobes look "Fuller" and more like lobes. I also wait about 8 months between each size up. I can stretch after about 4, but I go longer just for good measure.
8 months damnn man, that’s a lot of wasted time it’d take me 15+ years to get to my goal , I’d probably be too old to even want stretched ears anymore 🤣
@@kristinowens899 I've had my gauges for over 12 years, I'm about to be 30 and I love my gauges too much to get rid of em' lol, I even stretched up to a full inch after like 8 years of being a 00 and 3 years of being a 16mm and a year of being a 22mm. 😅
I've had a blowout for over a year now, and everyone I asked, and in some videos I watched they only said "oh yeah, just rub olive oil on it and it will help". After watching your video my blowout healed in 5 days, after following everything you said. Thank you, and keep up the good work! Subbed!
Damn bro thanks for this. I just realized that I had stretched too fast because I'm a dumb bitch and blew out my ears going from 12g to 10g 💀💀💀 learned my lesson!! Thank God I caught it fairly early!!
@@stryctn9yne13 That's a rather obnoxious thing to say. Obviously someone can get a blowout at any size if they don't give their ears enough time, or if they stretch with a material they are sensitive/allergic to. I've seen a lot of smaller lobes with minor blowout flaps starting to show. The blowout will just be smaller and harder to detect since there is less stretched earlobe tissue.
I just had a HORRIBLE reaction to body jewelry. I went from 0-00g (4 month waiting period between)and I had no problems until I changed the jewelry a few days later. The whole inside of the piercing on the left was awful and bleeding and the right had minor bleeding. So glad for these videos and tips on how to heal after downsizing back to 0. Just praying mg for no bad scarring.
I just stumbled on this video and man I'm so happy I found it. I took the tuck advice and when I say it felt better it immediately felt better. Time to let healing do it's thing and assist it along the way. Thank you so much!
Wonderful educational video! This Instructor describes his knowledge of his material in an easy-to listen style. I had just ONE ear blowout, strangely, going from 1-1/8" to 1-1/4". Thank you for this video!!!
I am so lame, I literally had a blowout both ears stretching from a 18 gauge to a 16 gauge. I took all precautions, I was super gentle, sterile and lubed. WTF? How do I ever stretch my ears? The only thing I can think is the plastic taper and plug I used. Do some people just not have ears that stretch? Gutted!
Jojo Sagewitch yeah plastic just does that to some peoples ears, steel or glass should be fine though! also the try switching up the type of lubricant or oil you use, and find the one that's best for you!
Update, it was the damn plastic tapers and plastic tunnels. Ive just recently stretched to a 0 gauge and I think that giving plenty of time, lots of care, and decent tunnels (or whatever you use) is how I managed it. The stretch from 2 to 0 gauge was a big one, they throb a little, but I’m super happy.
Jojo Sagewitch metal tapers and plugs or tunnels are the best plastic i got a blowout exactly when you did... and the oil i was using coconut or olive oil... use jojoba ive never had another since then...exept now but its a reaction to cheap jewelry...
I used glass 9mm single flare plugs as a precursor, then stretched to 10mm (00). Saved me from the pain and struggle!! I hadn’t had any success until this method. You could also try heavy hangers 0g to naturally stretch over time.
This is really helpful, I’ve just had my first blowout and it was from stretching too fast, it’s in one ear but I’m gonna follow your steps and hopefully it will be okay 👍
I’m at 20mm and my left ear blew out from cliff jumping. I’m so upset, been stretching for like a year and never had an issue. One cliff jump and I got half my ear blown out, smh. Hope this stuff helps. Just not looking forward to dropping to 16mn
Part of the problem is people stretching between gauge sizes and not millimeters...if you have trouble going up a size try looking for those in-between millimeter sizes! They can be harder to find but are out there, usually in a simple steel or titanium plug.
I trust you🙏 I went down from a 9/16th to a 00 and ordered some vitamin E oil and am starting the process tomorrow so I’ll comment back when I see results, wish me luck👍
Just want to share my success story of healing my blowout. Was on 18mm when I started noticing the excess skin and the plug resting in a funny position in my ear. I tried sizing down and waited for weeks and it was still the same. Using a combination of a good quality vitamin e oil, aloe vera and and using teflon tape adding 3-4 layers a fortnight to slowly stretch the ear back out, it's almost 100 percent healed.
I just blew out my ears..... Because the stretching kit I purchased didn't have the size 1. So I looked everywhere and your site is basically one of the few that had the right size I needed. THANK YOU for having the 1/ 7mm size (: Hopefully using that will make the journey to 00 easy now haha
Newbie here… 12g to 10g. I accepted the reality and went back to the 14g. Ultimately I found some odd # single flares, I’ll use those to do single size stretching when the time comes.
I've been at a 7/8 for a few months now and the past few days with how tired I have been from work I have fallen asleep with my plugs in and I wake up to my left ear sore in pain from my lobe folding while I sleep. Needless to say my inner lobe is tore from it and this video gave me reassurance that I will still be able to upsize if I just give my ears some TLC after this tear heals.
I haven't got one yet. I had to go from 8g to 7g to go to 6g soon. Trying 6g to 4g didn't work, so I got a 5g and just dead stretched with glass plugs. So much easier. I've waited a max of two weeks, but I heal fast.
I just recently stretched up to 3/4 and I always have a huge problem with my right ear and just recently got a blowout. This is the worst I have had and it hurts like hell right now but I will definitely be taking your advise. Thank you so much!
Just it to half and inch and I have never had a blowout, thank god. It’s truly one of the most things I’m proud of. Only got two or three infections in on lobe, ever! Just sized up and had my first tear in my bad lobe. It’s not bad and I’m cleaning and doing all the steps I always do when I have a problem. Btw thank you for the informational video.
downsized after a bad blowout on my 9/16 jump.. got jojoba, and have been massaging my ears with it in 10 min increments 3 times a day. the blowout has almost entirely receded after just 3 days. even if u don’t have a blowout i HIGHLY recommend jojoba, it’s like a miracle oil for stretched ears
I wish I had heard of blow out before I started stretching again. I'm an idiot and hope I caught it in time. I thought that since I was a 0 before I could rush to a 0 again. I just went back to a 2 and my ear already feels better. Feeling like an idiot but I'm glad I found this channel. Thank you
I waited the recommended time between 8 to 6 stretching which was 3 months and couldn't push the plug thru, wore the taper for 48 hours hoping I would be able to push the tunnel thru, took a nap and woke up with a blowout. I pray my right earlobe is just swollen and not a keloid 🙏
when i got pierced almost a year ago, i told the piercer i wanted to stretch them so she recommended to pierce with 3mm immediately. i’ve had 3mm tunnels in ever since and just had a blow out. i don’t know what to do cause everyone is talking about overstretch but i literally never stretch lol
I was really proud of how healthy my ears were until recently where I realised my 14mm tunnels made from stainless steel gave me loads of irritation and a blowout on back of one of my ears, I know it wasn't from over-stretching because my ears had been at 14 comfortable for a while, it's so disheartening I hope they go back to normal :(
What if my ear started bleeding but i dont have the extra tissue in the back and my ear didnt start bleeding til a couple days after stretching and i never skipped a size and ive always waited to stretch?
I had a small blowout and caught it in the early stages thanx to this guy here I was able to heal it in under 2 weeks with jojoba oil and daily rubs. Thanx for real love my lobes
I kinda forced my 6g to go in and I thought that I waited a good enough time (over a month).. I didn’t wait long enough. I don’t know if I got a blow out because there is no skin at the back hanging out, it’s just the inside of my ear that’s bleeding right now. It’s been 2 days, the pain is gone and the tunnels go through very easily, but the inside of my ears are still bleeding
My blowouts somehow both split recently, I didn't downsize I just cleaned every morning and night and used TCP antiseptic and they both healed within a week, because they split and healed they are now gone. I don't know how they are gone but I'm happy about it
I waited so long to stretch frm 2g to 0g I know I stretched it too fast it was painful which developed to a blowout. I downsized back to a 2. My question is do I soak my ear with the plugs with warm water n salt water or do I just keep massaging my ear lobe
i don’t think i have a blow out at all but this morning when i went to clean my jewelry (stainless steel 2g) i realized my lobe was really rough i compared to my other ear that isn’t stretched and it was a huge difference it kind of felt like a lump in my ear ! I’m not sure what to do
Nia Inés if you felt a lump you have a keloid which is just buildup of scar tissue from small things like bumping it on something or sleeping on it wrong, it could make the skin a little rough, you should be fine about 2-4 weeks
Does this work if the blowout is healed and it’s already overlapped? I have a blowout on my right ear that’s not fresh and is just overlapped skin but if i massage it daily will it flatten out eventually over time?
Yass just bought some vitamin E oil on amazon. I like how this video covered all the questions I had because I blew out a long time ago, but since then I’ve made better choices when it comes to stretching but the scarring is still there and I want healthy lobes and couldn’t find any other videos that cover how to minimize scarring. So now vitamin E oil is going to be part of my routine
I waited 7 months to size up to 00. Finally got their, couple weeks later slept on my ear weird and boom.. No downsizing cause the tunnels wouldnt fit now im back at 4... Luckily once it started to heal it wasnt bad at all, but I'm still gonna keep going slow...
trying to stretch from 2g to 0g. I've been at 2g for about 4 months, I've been moisturising the lobes every few hours for two days, finally got the taper through but the plug wouldn't follow, got a tiny tear while trying to push it through :I not a blow out (I stretch back to front so I can always see what's going on). immediately pulled out the 0s and put my 2s back in. is care for a tear the same as blowout? when's it safe to try to stretch again? I'll track down a 7mm in the meantime so it's not a huge jump.
I had to do this after the jewelry fell out while sleeping. I downsized whatever size is before 5/8ths. The whole time i used vitamin e and sea salt soaks. By the end if the 2nd week I had my ear back....but im afraid to stretch up. I've been at this size for about a year or so 😟😟😟
I literally got a blowout from tunnels I’ve had for almost 4 years now. I took them out to clean and put them back in with no problem, only to discover a blowout I didn’t even notice until like 3 days later. How tf does that even happen ??
This happens to me constantly, I take them out let them heal and stretch again. I’ll keep a size in after it heals and at some point I just get a blowout I didn’t even notice until I clean it. And it’s just my left ear, I can stretch my right ear in a month because there is room already and only ever had one micro tear. And I’ve been a 1/2” in my right and BARELY a 0 in my left for a few years now
thanks been stretching over 12 years and for the first time ever i got a minor blowout in one ear after trying out a new brand of glass stretching plugs
I don't know if I blew out my ears but I dead stretched... Not proud but I did. I got my ears pierced when I was a baby and so I started my journey by doing the first size, then two days later I went to a 5, so 1-5 in 2 days... Its been about at least a week and a half and my ears are still red and hurt, they ooze clear lickquid and hurt, I clean them with salt water and my jelwery with rubbing alcohol and I use vitamin e oil as lubrication but I haven't tried massaging. I think I'm going to take out my plugs and just let my ears heal for a while and then try again maybe in a couple months or maybe even next year. I don't have any tissue pushed out of my ears but it feels like a stiff ring on the inside of my ear and I can't see through the hole because it is pretty much always swollen and I took pics and zoomed in and I can see tears of skin on the inside so that's what makes me think I did blow them out and also the fact that they bled a lot when I dead stretched them and if put pressure on them they start to bleed. If anyone has any advice please respond. (No hate, I'm only 16. I will however take constructive criticism) thanks.
i didnt get a blowout but i tore the inside if my ear just a little bit going from a 14g to a 10g, i went to my piercing shop to go get 12g tapers and cbd’s but one of the receptionist persuaded me to go to a 10g. its my fault that i listened to him 🙄 i put the tapers in, little sore then just today i looked at them and knew i had to go back down to 14 and slowly work my way back up. never doing that again, take your time to stretch your ears
i have been waiting to go from 10mm to 12mm for almost a year. i used a spiral and very slowly stretched it, like over a span of a week. and yet still i have my first blowout 😭 the universe is not on my side with this one
I currently have the worst blowouts ever seen according the RU-vid. My ears were dripping with blood like a faucet. Now I’m naked and sporting bloodclot plugs.
I apparently had a blowout and had no idea. It was si minor it just looked like my ear just a bit red and swollen. Had to wait for the swelling to go down before I could touch my ear and the swelling was also minor. The issue was the sensitivity. So, I soaked my ear in warm saltwater and patted it dry. The swelling was down and the sensitivity had reduced. So, I took out the jewelry to see how bad and it was already almost healed. I did/do use argon oil. My ear has been fine. I'm just having issues going from a 4g to a 2g. So, I'm gonna start taping.
Hate to say this but I’ve gotten a lot of small blowouts. They’re easy for me to heal, but also not bad enough for me to have to give up my ears. Literally just a little bit of swelling for a day or two and then it goes away.
I don’t think I’ve got a blowout but I’ve been trying to fit a 6g tunnel in my right ear (my bad ear) after having an 8g in my ears for 2 months ish. I finally got the tunnel in both ears, but the pain didn’t go away. I woke up this morning around 5 and had to take the tunnel out because it hurt so bad, I downsized back to the 8. But I noticed once I took out the tunnel, there was blood in the hole... I cleaned it up, put in the 8 and now I’m just wishing for the best 😂😂
I have a biiiiig blowout…. I thought for 3 weeks that this is normal bcs it didnt bleed or hurted me, and now a friend told me noooo take it off¨¨ And now she told me, that the blow out never will go away =( i am so sad that i dint knew correctly how to strech. I hope i will can strech again when its healed =(
I had a very small blow out on my left ear. I eventually had to downsize two sizes and massaged with jojoba oil. This worked wonders and was able to stretch up about a month and a half after the downsize. Both my ear's are healthy and I'm currently at 0g or 8mm.
I remember I got a nasty blowout when I stretched from 2g to 0mm. Theres was alot of puss and at some point the band to my gauge got stuck inside my ear lobe. It was a disaster. But now I'm at 16mm :)
This whole routine worked amazingly for me, I was at 0 and because of being an impatient bitch I forced an 1/2" acrylic taper into my earlobe, I got blowouts on both of my ears, one was worse than the other. I followed the steps he said and now my gauges are beautifully healed (had to downsize to 0 again and I still haven't stretched) and without any bump or protuberance. I used a 31 herbs essential oil from the brand just
I don't understand how mine even blew out. I've had the plugs in for over a year without any issues, woke up today with a huge "blister" on my ear lobe looks just like blowout
I realized I blew out my ears today, 2g to 0g is one hell of a stretch. They were BAD so I have normal earrings through the scabs. I showered and cleaned out infection with hydrogen peroxide. I have a damn job interview tomorrow too.
I got a blowout going from 25mm to 26mm. Didn't listen to my body and ketp my plugs in now i have a massive underlobe that keeps me from wearing thinner plugs. After about 3 times of taking my plugs out and starting over from 16mm ive started to look up ways to get rid of a healed blowout. Currently on my 3rd time stretching back up to 26mm. Still at 16mm robbing my right lobe 2 times a day with Jojoba oil. In hope that i might have a normal looking lobe. Goal size 32mm
I stretched both ears to 1/2 inch. My left ear didn’t hurt at all but when I went to the right ear it stung like a bishhh! I left it in a week but my right ear still hurt so I took it out cleaned it and went back down to 7/16ths on my right ear -_- now I have to wait for it to heal -_-
It’s always my right ear that has trouble like I went from a 6mm to 8mm my left ear was easy but my right ear hurt and it started bleeding a couple hours later
I’m so disappointed In myself for being impatient. I stretched to a 5/8 and it was fine for a week then all of a sudden winthin a day it got swollen and got infected and I had to take it out now it’s basically closed shut because it’s so bad 😭 it’s been about 3 years of me doing this and I’ve never had this issue. I’m so so sad I was so happy with the 5/8ths
So I don’t think I had a blowout happen, tbh I’m not quite sure, but I sized up the night before last and my ears are swollen and red. There’s a slight throbbing sensation as well. I can twist the jewelry perfectly fine, so they aren’t stuck to them. What should I do to help them? I just sized up to a 7/16 btw
I've had blowout before and I stretched to a double zero and had an ok journey this time thought it would be fine to size up and now I am heavily regretting it bc now I have a feeling it's gonna heal a lot and go down in size because I can't get any plugs back in.sitting here with bloody ears and crying because I wanted to go bigger
i’m so glad i found this video. i just had a bad blow out and i was never really educated about proper ear care, that’s probably my fault. and i never realized that i was getting blow outs on my left ear!! my poor ear! ☹️
i was good to go at a half inch then about a few weeks in somehow during the night my ear was cut inside and now its healing which is upsetting because it's been a smooth journey up til now, i just hope it doesn't get in the way of my ultimate goals
I had a blowout and i wasnt even stretching my ear i was simply putting another plug in and the next morning my ear was crusty, minimal leaking it was mainly bleeding really bad that the blood was dripping....but the plug was an Inch which is the same size as my ear not sure if my ear was shrinking on me in size, but I always kept a plug in it for that to be the issue ... so im like lost kn figuring out why it happened ...
Had this problem before went I stretched to 00g (10mm) I notice for myself I have a “bitch” ear where one stretches really easy and heals fast where as the other is a lot harder and heals slower
I don't think there's like a way to for sure get rid of a blow out sadly. If it's small, I think the best thing to do is to go see a doctor and see if they can recommend a specialist to sort of cup the lip and sew it into your ear lobe to get rid of it. If u have massive blow outs then there's absolutely nothing you can do but have a doctor fix em' and start all over again.
My biggest concern with my stretching process was that I had an old piercing that had one hole in the front but two holes in the back. My stretching went well up until I got to a 2G. The ear with the double hole started to act up and I noticed I had a blow out 😢😢 My other ear was healing perfectly but I ended up taking out my flare for the double holed ear and it oozed a bit then immediately swole up and closed in. I feel like this ear is back to an 14G!!! 😭😭😭 I’m so upset. Thanks for the helpful video
I let my ears close up for a year and it down sized to a 2g, because of a blowout. when I started stretching the blow out was still there I I can still see it, it won't downsize any smaller and the blowout won't go away. And I really want to start stretching again.
