I had my ears stretched to 1 1/2 inches & it took me about 5 years. I recommend nothing but TAKING YOUR TIME. keep your ears happy there is no rush!! you don't want blowouts or scartissue :/ wait at least a month between sizes & once you pass 0g wait at least a couple months i would suggest

Half way thru my sophomore year in high school I went to a buddies house during lunch were he had some tapers laying around so I grabbed a rasta color 4g and went from a 20g to a 4g in the matter of minutes with both ears they bled a little and swole up but never ripped or got infected. I wore gauges till first year of college, the highest I've gone was a 00g but then had to stop wearing them when I got a job, my ears are forever stuck at a 4g. I went a year and half with nothin in my ears and then put a 4g earring in and it felt like nothing. That's my gauge story

I am at a 00g and when I gauged to a 0g at the first time it got infected and I had to restart from a 4g all in all it is from over gauging in a short period of time, I recommend getting H2Ocean it helps alot :3

I'm currently at a 0g, and the same thing happened to me because I had stretched too early. What you should have done is ghost back to a 4g until it heals again. Clean it with warm water (not too hot to where it burns, but to the point where it's like your shower water.) and sea salt. Make sure that it is sea salt and not table salt. They are two completely different types of salts and sea salt has natural healing powers. Do this twice a day until it heals and then you can gauge up to a 2g again. While that is healing, do the same thing. When you get to your desired size it is great to put jojoba oil on it and clean them with antibacterial soap. Your ears will love you for this, and it will be better in the long run. You can do this while it's healing, as well. But remember not to over clean, or they may become dry and irritated. Good luck and happy stretching! ^-^~

I'm at an 8g as well. I've never had any problems, but I think that's because I've been stretching my ears VERY slowly. I started stretching about 4 years ago. Don't know what size I'll stop at, but I probably won't go above 0g.

I never gotten an infection, you didn't have to take them out and start over by the way, you could have just switched your jewelry to something like stainless steal and just keep your ears cleaned and rub some ointment on them when the pain goes away, that is if there was pain, to prevent any other infections from occurring though, wash your ears and jewelry daily, don't use any ones jewelry but your own, and don't buy any jewelry that is bad for you, anything you are allergic to or anything bad for freshly stretched ears (silicone, wood, acrylic, etc.) and make sure your ears are fully healed before stretching again.

I just started stretching my ears in November, and I'm now at 8g. I tried to stretch up to 6g just a few hours ago, but my ears aren't ready, so I'm going to buy some stone plugs and hopefully those will loosen my lobes in a month or two so I can try to stretch up to 6g again. I use stainless steel tapers/plugs for fresh stretches, along with Hold Fast lubricant. I plan to stretch up to 0g or 00g, and then that's my stopping point :3c The weird thing is is that my ears used to be so sensitive, I couldn't even wear earrings without getting an infection, and now my ears are so chill and relaxed. Lovin' my lobes <3

I've been at a 1/2 inch for 2 years, but my girlfriend doesn't want me to go any bigger because of my hordes of jewelry. Never had problems. I stretched with tapers and Vaseline haha.
