What do you all think? Think I'll stay at a 10mm or will I decide to go for a bigger size? I honestly don't know myself, LOL Also, yes, I have tooth gems on my upper canine teeth. Kudos to those who could spot them!
I think you’ll go bigger, eventually. This size looks great on you though. My goal was 00 too. 5/8ths now. It took me 4 yrs to get to this size so I don’t plan to go bigger but my lobes are old so they may sag, I mean stretch on their own 😆 You’re right, never too old for body mods!
00g looks great on you, but I think you'd definitely suit bigger plugs. You could definitely rock a large gauge plugs. :) I'm at 25 mm/1 inch and hoping to size up to somewhere between 28 mm and 40 mm.
When I first started my goal was 0 and I decided to go to 00 I slowly continued stretching over the years after I calmed down (usually kind a dead stretch) and now I’m currently at 16mm (5/8ths) and idk how long I’ll stay here I’m planning to stay for awhile since I ordered a bunch of jewelry in this size I haven’t stretched in a couple years so after I decided to get a bigger size a few months ago since my ears were “loose” cause they naturally stretched it got me back into the addiction of going bigger because no matter what you do you always feel like you’re ears are small lol All I know is I don’t want to be an inch so I at least I have a “I’m for sure stopping before I get to that point”
I'm very happy that you were able to reach your goal size, Gretchen. This was a wonderful video as always. Also, congratulations on 12,000+ subscribers! 😊
Congrats on the "final" stretch. I first stretched my ears to 8mm in undergrad and then last year decided to stretch up to 16mm because I missed stretching. I'd definitely suggest staying at 10mm for a while to get used to having "larger" ears and then go for it if you want to go bigger!
I think that 00 is the perfect size for people who just want reasonably stretched ears without them being huge and in the way. I think that at some point they just get too big and become a liability. The larger they get the more chance you have of snagging one of your lobes on something and tearing it. Plus, who wants to keep buying jewelry that you can never wear again? Double zero is just a nice balance between flaunting your stretched lobes and still being able to keep them low key if you need to. Thanks for the entertaining content and sharing your journey! I am at 00 and I am quite satisfied with this size.
00g/10mm is my goal too! I'm at 7mm now. Just wearing a simple tunnel until i get to 10mm and i love it so much already😭 can't wait to finish so i can start wearing pretty plugs and tunnels😍
I’m sad it’s over too! It’s hard to believe I started a year ago...but I’ll for sure do hauls and try ons, so at least we’ll have that content! Plus, I may go bigger still...we never know 😉
I don't recommend stretching with threaded plugs because they should be left in and can irritate the freshly stretched skin. Better to use single flared glass plugs to stretch imo.
Started at 12yrs old, got pierced with 12guage. Waited a couple months then started stretching and while at the smaller gages occasionally jumped two sizes getting to. 0 or double 00. Then removed all piercing for 20+yrs. Now deciding to wear jewelry again.ears only closed to about 2g within the same month am now back to 00g. Only going 1 more size to an 11mm and again ill be done. Only bleed a lil this time around when going from 2 to 0. Only waiting 2weeks to stretch again I felt the sting I remember from being young but no blood. So I'm gonna wait 3or 4 weeks before my final stretch. Don't miss trying to put on orings at all! Good luck
I just stretched up from 1g to 0g but I had to side down on my right ear because I got a small blowout so I’m keeping a 2g in that ear for right now, my goal is an inch
I just moved up to 0g from a 4g. I jumped size it stung but was smooth. It’s been almost a year since I started my gauging journey at the ripe age of 39.
I love your videos! I'm currently at an 8g and want to get to a 0, until I decide to go up to a 00.... Lol your videos have made my journey more fun and encouraging for me to finally say, what the heck I'm doing it lol!
I stretched to a 2g when I was 20, let them close thinking I wanted to look “more professional” but I missed my plugs so I stretched back up and went to a 0g!
i'm currently at 2g and my goal size is 0g, maybe 00g, not more. Im getting my 0g stretches this wednesday and Im soo impatient! btw those plugs look amazing on you
I’m 28 and one year in. I’m currently at 1g. But I’m tapering. So it’s a 0g taper. But the 0g end won’t go in. So I’m wearing them until I can get them through and then on to the pretty 0g jewelry.
I just started, went up from a 20 to a 14... lol. My ears wernt super happy about it they grabbed onto the tapers for a few days so I couldn’t even get them out. Gonna try and let them chill out for a month or two before going up again I think they need to go slow
So.... I've pretty much obsessively watched your videos since I have some similar piercings. Buuuuuut I got the stretching bug and was curious if you'd do an aftercare kind of video for us. Such as daily cleaning and a plug haul 🤘😍 Oh and BTW "Can you see me longing for you, forever". 🖤🎵
Congrats on reaching your goal size! The plugs are beautiful. My lobes are at 1/2" (12 or 13 mm), and I won't go any bigger. However, I'm in the process of stretching my conches. They're currently at 6g, and I have one more stretch till I reach my goal size of 4g. I have some of the stretching videos of my lobes and conches on my channel if you'd like to take a peek.
How long did you wait between stretches? I’m going to miss your stretching videos. Right now I have one ear at 1g and the other at 0g, my goal is half an inch (for now)
For this stretch, two weeks. Not the normal wait time between stretches, but I felt I was fine to do so (and I'll admit, I was impatient for this last stretch). For my other stretches I waited 6-8 weeks between each.
So my goal is to get to 00 however I may go up to 12mm In my ears now I have 2G 4G and 6G if I do go up to 00 or 12mm I may just go from 3 piercings to 2 not sure yet Stretching is like the tattoos once you start its addicting and you want to keep going The 10mm that you tried to put in first is like the one I have however mine is black
I’m at 8mm/0g. I’d love to go larger, but my second lobe piercings will sink and I’m not sure I want to lose them. I also just got some gorgeous Anatometal opal tunnels in my size so. Here I am for now.
Your videos have solidified my desire to stretch my ears. Did you buy a stretching kit? If so, which one did you buy and from where? I trust your results so I would love to follow in your footsteps! 😂
Hi so I would like ur opinion on something like anyone I’m 13 and have my ears stretched is that bad or just unhealthy in anyway Ik loads about stretching bc bitch does his research but I’ve never learnt anything about age so yh opinions please
You look great with bigger size,, i have now ear gauges 16mm and have 5 ear piercings near ear plugs and look great, my voice for bigger size Just go up, thats look great with other your piercings and your face
What do you all think? Think I'll stay at a 10mm or will I decide to go for a bigger size? I honestly don't know myself, LOL

Go bigger if makes you happy, you are always very careful anyways, so go ahead beautiful Gretchen 👍🏼
@@bruna.brandt0303 Agreed! :)

Congratulations on the 10mm, I love watching you stretch. I made it to 2 gauge. : ) and I'm 61 lol
"Ripe ol' age" of going on 29 here, going on 00 and 3 kids later.. - You do you! Never too old!
Your look is so cute today! Cheers to the “final stretch.” 😉🎉
I am going to miss your stretching videos Gretchen. It’s been a pleasure but cheers to the goal size👸🏼❤️

i.... had no idea there were 9mm tapers... i’m buying one rn for my stubborn ears

Welcome to the 00g club! I've been at this size for a few months now and I love it 👌. Love your plugs! Xx
Congrats on your final stretch. I am 45 and am at 2 gauge. I think this is my final size although I would love to go to 00.
Omg I was about to have a tear when you reminded me that this might be the last stretch 👁🐽👁
00g/10mm is my goal too! I'm at 7mm now. Just wearing a simple tunnel until i get to 10mm and i love it so much already😭 can't wait to finish so i can start wearing pretty plugs and tunnels😍
Same here! 😄
i'm 15 next month and ill already be stretching to a 6mm on my birthday!!
Congrats to ur final stretch! (For now lol) Also that tooth gem 👀
Congratulations on your 10mm stretch! Can't wait to get there
I'm genuinely sad that this is over 😢. I've been putting off watching this. It's been a good time 👍🏼.
I’m sad it’s over too! It’s hard to believe I started a year ago...but I’ll for sure do hauls and try ons, so at least we’ll have that content! Plus, I may go bigger still...we never know 😉
Going to miss these stretching videos!!
If you decide to go any bigger I recommend dead stretching! And at that point wait like...3-6 months lol congrats on your goal size! (For now)
Awesome plugs, suits you soooo well❤
Holy shit can't believe you're already at 00g. I feel like I just subscribed to you yesterday.
Do you have a Rhinestone on your one tooth? Just curious is all.
Yeah I noticed that.... You can definitely see something at 03:16
Final stretch lol. I remember when I said 00 was my final and now I’m at 5/8ths 🤣
My first lobe holes are at a 0g. Now I’m starting my second lobe holes stretching at 14g
It has been almost two years for me and I'm still at 8mm. Though I make breaks sometimes, like I was few months in 6mm
Awwwwww I love your piercings and I love this glam you look stunning
My goal size is 00G. I’m at OG right now. I’m 47 & I love my stretched ears:)
The last few stretches I’ve dead stretched using glass. It’s so much easier. I’m at 0g now probably going to at least 1/2”
I love watching your videos! They've helped me get to where I'm at now. I just did my 2g stretch!
I don't recommend stretching with threaded plugs because they should be left in and can irritate the freshly stretched skin.
Better to use single flared glass plugs to stretch imo.
That’s crazy I just stretched to a 00g two days ago
I will be starting soon. Yes so excited 😆
I am 31 and I am at a 10g! Going to a 00g as well, also where did you get those plugs I love them!
Thank you for posting every time you sized up! This is super helpful. Glass is my favorite. I can't wait to size up to 00g. I just sized up to 0g.
Started at 12yrs old, got pierced with 12guage. Waited a couple months then started stretching and while at the smaller gages occasionally jumped two sizes getting to. 0 or double 00.

You say a year was too fast? I went from a 14 to a 7/16 in like 4 months!
I just stretched up from 1g to 0g but I had to side down on my right ear because I got a small blowout so I’m keeping a 2g in that ear for right now, my goal is an inch
Please don't use acrylic or tapers, glass is best for stretching and dead stretching is the safest method. Good luck!
Ana Nozadze I’ve never used acrylic. I’ve been dead stretching with single flare glass plugs. My right ear just wasn’t ready sadly.
Looks good. I think you'll go larger after a while.😄
I'm at a 8 right now. I was going to stop at a 4 but you made me reconsider I might honestly go to a 2
So glad to see you reached your goal!!! (For now) idk if youll size up hell I dont know if I will past 00 either lol. Im at 8g rn
I just moved up to 0g from a 4g. I jumped size it stung but was smooth. It’s been almost a year since I started my gauging journey at the ripe age of 39.
My current size is 25 mm!!
I love your videos! I'm currently at an 8g and want to get to a 0, until I decide to go up to a 00.... Lol your videos have made my journey more fun and encouraging for me to finally say, what the heck I'm doing it lol!

I have never found a 9mm plug, i looked for ages. It's 8 then 10. Where can I find 9mm?
I’m 28 and one year in. I’m currently at 1g. But I’m tapering. So it’s a 0g taper. But the 0g end won’t go in. So I’m wearing them until I can get them through and then on to the pretty 0g jewelry.
Getting my stretching ear kit tomorrow
I’m at an 10g
Wow!!! You went fast!!! I've been going for 5 years!!
I went from new piercing done at Claire's..lol.. to 0g in like 6 months.. with no catbutt, infections or blowouts whatsoever.
I just started, went up from a 20 to a 14... lol. My ears wernt super happy about it they grabbed onto the tapers for a few days so I couldn’t even get them out. Gonna try and let them chill out for a month or two before going up again I think they need to go slow
Oh my god!!! Beautiful!! Where did you get your 00 plugs from?
Urban Body Jewelry!
I am going starting my ear stretching journey and I am planing on to a 00(9mm) think you for the information
So.... I've pretty much obsessively watched your videos since I have some similar piercings. Buuuuuut I got the stretching bug and was curious if you'd do an aftercare kind of video for us.
Such as daily cleaning and a plug haul 🤘😍
Oh and BTW "Can you see me longing for you, forever". 🖤🎵
Good Job, 00g look good ! You could go bigger but its all up to you!
Congrats on reaching your goal size! The plugs are beautiful. My lobes are at 1/2" (12 or 13 mm), and I won't go any bigger. However, I'm in the process of stretching my conches. They're currently at 6g, and I have one more stretch till I reach my goal size of 4g. I have some of the stretching videos of my lobes and conches on my channel if you'd like to take a peek.
How long did you wait between stretches? I’m going to miss your stretching videos. Right now I have one ear at 1g and the other at 0g, my goal is half an inch (for now)
I think she waited 2 weeks. 3 months+ is recommended for 8g+ though.
It just gives the ear time to actually grow more skin on the inside
For this stretch, two weeks. Not the normal wait time between stretches, but I felt I was fine to do so (and I'll admit, I was impatient for this last stretch). For my other stretches I waited 6-8 weeks between each.
Current Size: 3.4mm
Goal Size: 8mm
Only at a 2g but I want to go to a 1/2"
Where did you get the jewelry ?
Urban Body Jewelry!
Geaux Gretchen thanks! And I love your videos! You’re extremely beautiful!😍
Kinda weird question... But where did you get your shirt? And have you always had a tooth diamond??? Looks so freaking cuteee!!! ❤ you.
It's actually a dress I got from a Stitch Fix last year. And I just recently got my two tooth gems!
So my goal is to get to 00 however I may go up to 12mm
In my ears now I have 2G 4G and 6G if I do go up to 00 or 12mm I may just go from 3 piercings to 2 not sure yet
Stretching is like the tattoos once you start its addicting and you want to keep going
The 10mm that you tried to put in first is like the one I have however mine is black
I’m at 8mm/0g. I’d love to go larger, but my second lobe piercings will sink and I’m not sure I want to lose them. I also just got some gorgeous Anatometal opal tunnels in my size so. Here I am for now.
Congrats on 10mm! I just hit my goal size of 5/8"
Your videos have solidified my desire to stretch my ears. Did you buy a stretching kit? If so, which one did you buy and from where? I trust your results so I would love to follow in your footsteps! 😂
I got the kit I used from Urban Body Jewelry!
6 mm I wanna get to 10mm 00g have a problem ear that keeps setting me back :(
Started two weeks ago! Will just do 6-7 mm but I am exiiiiited
Glam and Gore doppelganger!
I LOVE Mykie!
So.. I tried stretching with a 9mm and it slipped through my ear but when I try to stretch with 10mm its hard!! What should i do??
LyricaNSean Neighbors stay at 9mm, wait a month, then try the 10mm again :)
@@emmeli_melin1137 literally right after I commented this i tried again and it slipped through like butter🤣🤣🤣
Lol, lucky you! It’s always so satisfying when it just slips trough with no pain and all that jazz 🖤👏🤘☺️
Why? Are we? So? Old? Now?
Does anyone regret stretching ? I need advice wanting to do mine they look so good. Do I do it ? Or will I regret help please xxxx
Hi so I would like ur opinion on something like anyone I’m 13 and have my ears stretched is that bad or just unhealthy in anyway Ik loads about stretching bc bitch does his research but I’ve never learnt anything about age so yh opinions please
