    I was thinking about stretching my ears to 00...Now they're at 2g...But I was wondering if anybody else has any experience going to 00 because i've heard that it's a really big jump and hurts like hell! lol...Not that pain would stop me anyway, but I just want to be prepared...Also I'm planning on staying at 00 for a while because I think that will be my stopping point, but I know that eventually I might want to take them out...So I was wondering if I take them out will they shrink at all...I wouldn't care if it's still noticeable when I take them out, I just don't want to have saggy ear lobes if I do...Any imput would be awesme

    Thanks

    Peace

    LOL.... umm... once you stretch your ears out. i dont think it'll go back to normal.

    it might shrink, but it depends on how long you leave it at 00
    cuz, if you have it at that size for at least a year more than, its neber going to close.
    any time shorter than that, then it might shrink.
    but umm.... why would you get something so painful, and so appearence changing, if you only want it for a little while ???
    and you know your going to take it out.

    Um yeah, I can't even go straight from a 2 to a 0 without taking a few days of adding in small rings...as in when I tried to go from 2 to 0, it hurt a LOT and made my ear lobe swell up like effing hell! DEFINITELY don't go straight to a 00!

    i wasn't planning on going straight to 00...i was going to go to 0 first and then 00 once it was healed...i really want to go to 00...but i know eventually i might want to take them out...and i'm just worried that once i do take them out (if i have to for a job or something) that i'll have to get reconstruction or something...

    thanks for the replies :)

    i just realized that i don't know why i'm assuming that i would want to take my plugs out later...once i stretch them...because i haven't had any thoughts about ever taking my 2g's out, just because i love having stretched ears...i guess i mean i shouldn't assume that i'm going to want to take them out, because i actually really love stretched ears...thanks for the replies by the way

    peace

    they will shrink, but not all the way back to normal. you might be left with a 6g or so.
    2g-0g is the big jump i believe, 0g-00g isnt as bad. im not sure though, i skipped both :(

    one word for any stretching:

    LUBE

    do you know what the best lube to use is? i've heard i should use ky jelly before but i don't have any at the moment...i've used neosporin before and it seems to work just fine...i was just wondering if ky would be better? or if it doesn't matter which kind?

    ky or any water based lube is fine. the best is vitamin e oil, emu oil, jojoba oil or any natural oil like that. it helps condition your skin and its very beneficial for healed lobes too.

    Ive often used savlon cream too.. it helps it slip through AND has magical healing powers!
