  • I've finally reached the single digits for ear stretching! The stretch to 8g wasn't too terrible - there was a slight pinch for my right ear (my "bad" ear), but my left ear was a breeze. Although I couldn't get the glass plugs in right away, I'll try them again soon once my ears have time to chill after the stretch. Next up is the dreaded 6g stretch!

    i'm at 8g atm and ive been stretching for about 3 weeks, i know its a little too fast, but my ears seem to be fine with it. Every stretch has been extremely easy with no pain, bleeding or forcefully pushing at all.
    my goal is 4g
    i guess im lucky heh

    I wonder if maybe the reason you can't always get the glass plugs in is because they may be slightly larger than the size they say they are. I've gotten glass plugs before that are slightly bigger or slightly smaller than the size I ordered, it's just how glass plugs are some times. So excited to see your stretching journey! I started stretching again and I'm up to 5/8" (16mm).

    After your ears heal you should start taping to go up to 6g. That’s what I did and my ears went AMAZING. There was NO resistance and it only took about a week to get enough layers of tape.

    Definitely the 8-6 is what’s difficult. But if you find the in between size of 7g, it can get you over the hump. I was able to just “dead stretch” with the plug and it went right in

  • @rosie-3633
    @rosie-3633 6 лет назад +10

    What I’ve found is that if you get the taper though then leave it in your ear for around an hour it is 10x easier to get the plugs in x

    You can always use the tape method if you don’t wanna buy a 7!!! It’s more gradual. :)

  • @darialevac4759
    @darialevac4759 6 лет назад +6

    I don't notice any difference between my first lobes, but for my seconds, the right one is definitely more sensitive for me. It hurt more to get pierced, it gets irritated more easily, and has stayed crusty longer. Not sure why that is.

  • @sherellefreeman7993
    @sherellefreeman7993 6 лет назад +3

    Love your videos! Just have a question. Don’t take it negatively, I’m legit curious. I’ve noticed that many people who do piercing videos “clean” the jewelry with H2Ocean or any other saline type wash. Why? The solution has no antibacterial or cleaning properties for jewelry or surfaces.. or does it? 🤷🏾‍♀️They’re used directly on the piercing site/wound because it helps to flush out buildup and promote cell rejuvenation for healing.... I don’t know 🤷🏾‍♀️. Although alcohol is a no no to clean your piercing itself, it may be better for an additional cleaning for the jewelry/taper etc. Then you can rinse it off with water so that you’re not introducing alcohol into your piercing site. This is just what I thought though. If the saline solution does have some type of cleaning property for the jewelry I’d love to know. I’ve been using the sea salt soak method so I haven’t been using H2Ocean at all.. let me know. Keep the videos coming!! Truly love them!

    • @GeauxGretchen
      @GeauxGretchen  6 лет назад +6

      H2Ocean contains an antibacterial enzyme in it, so although it is primarily used on the piercing site to fight off bad bacteria, I always use it as an extra precaution on the jewelry itself 😊

    I literally thought it was just me who had problems with going from an 8g to a 6g..
    I’m still at an 8g and I’ve tried stretching it four times and it just won’t budge and it’s a lot more painful than the other times. I’ve used so much lubricant to try to stretch it. If anyone has any tips for me please help!

    When I stretched my ears I used PTFE tape on the plugs in between gages and added a little bit every few days so it didn't hurt or ruin my lobes

  • @katkaplan3
    @katkaplan3 6 лет назад +2

    Hey there, had to pause and comment- so I think I figured out what people mean by feeding it thru w the taper- my last stretch- also to 8-I took the 10 (I think) taper and put the tunnel on it and fed it thru- make sense? And it worked. Also I then put an o ring on a taper and fed it thru backwards, and slid the I ring on the tunnel- does that make sense?! Lol. Anyway both worked. I’ve just left the one lobe at an 8- kinda lost interest idk why, the r ear gave me trouble so I completely stystretching on that one, and I’m about to take out thus remaining tunnel and just put like 5/6 hoops in. Just not into the stretching. Oh well. Not too much $ wasted.

    @recklezzgayz5463 2 года назад

    I just started today, w/ 14g... and i followed one threw. Couldn't feed it threw. And the other one my ear was too lubed up too focus just kept sliding off each other.

  • @ravenbarsrepairs5594
    @ravenbarsrepairs5594 2 года назад

    I'm at 8g now. Usaing tapers at these guages confuses me. I haven't had any problem sliding the next size in with no resistance yet.
    Got some mystery packs from BAF today, and one included a set of silicone tunnels. Any advise on getting them in? Of the 6 pairs(from 2 m,ystery packs, I for 4 sets of double flair, a set of black single flair, and the silicon tunnels. Stretched to 8g 3wks ago, so the double flares aren't an option, I al;ready have several sets and have gotten none in.

  • @jellybean4651

    I had a problem with going from 8 to 6 and I had a blow out and chose to take my tunnels out and go back to square one... I'm currently back at a 12gauge

  • @Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm666
    @Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm666 6 лет назад +3

    Is it really 8 to 6 that’s bad for ppl? Everyone I know that’s stretched said the 2 to 0 stretch was the worst and they had to get a 1g to help the get thru

    When you put a tunnel into the hole after you took out the tripwire, do your earlobes hurt? In the video around the first hole your lobe is swollen and very red, it seems that it hurts so much!!

    did you notice a difference in size between your stretching tunnels and the glass? I just got some glass plugs and they seem ALOT bigger than the 8 guage tunnels. All the jewlery I have looks exactly like yours which is why i ask:)

    @tobyredfox9640 6 лет назад +3

    the reason i think they get shorter is becasue your lobes hole gets bigger and doesn't need the whole room. I hope that makes sense :/
