How long between stretchings

Hey all,

I recently started stretching my ear lobes. I went from the original piercing size of 12 gauge to 8 gauge after a 5 week healing period. How long do you think I should wait to go up again and should i go up one size or a double jump. The first double jump went smooth, no tearing.

Thanks for any input

 

depends how soon u want to go up but just go to the next size every 2 - 3 weeks at the earlyiest (although ive gone from a 8 t0 a 00 in 2 weeks before and i blew out my ear lol)

 

i tried to jump from a 4 to a 0 and i almost blew out my ear. for me personally i do not reccommend skipping. but that is just me. after i let the ear heal i started stretching again. i went to a 2. 0. 00. 7/16". and now am content at 1/2". took about 6 months all together.

 

i went from a 14 to 0, stretching up on the first of every month, play with them alot as well to loosen the hole up. and use soap to stretch and do it in the shower!

 

.... I went form a freshly pierced 14 to a 6, used one of them pyramid thingies which I cant remember what they are called, no blow out .... maybe im just naturally stretchy, stretched to 4 the next day ummmm I know it was stupid but I was bored to I just used a plain old screw.... which I sterilized.... kinda.... stayed in my ear for a couple of day till a bought a plug... the rest I stretched one size at a time but as I have learned you usually just have to wait until the swelling from the previous stretching is gone, you can go much quicker if you don't mind the scalpel ummm ing
