the neck pain for me was craaazy I almost cried one night and started panicking thinking I was gonna die 😂 I never woulda thought someone else was suffering just like me
Yessss omg 14mm to 16mm did it for me now I have to go to 15 mm I got some glass plugs. I sus ally stretch in 1 mm increments anyways but was impatient smdh
I would advise against the taping method, as it isn't very healthy, especially using PTFE tape. I, however, would recommend single flare glass plugs from Arctic Buffalo! They come in clear, white, and black. They are also inexpensive. They seem to be one of the best ways to stretch!
I just stretched from a 2g to 0g about a month ago after being at a 2g for about 3 months. I took a hot shower before the stretch which helped but it still hurt really bad. I kept the tapers in for a few days even though it was extremely painful and swollen and went swimming which was a horrible idea. When I took the tapers out the day after swimming puss and blood literally poured out of them 🤮. I drained them and cleaned them with antibacterial soap and alcohol and let them just sit without any jewelry all day. Then I restretched back to a 0g that night which didn’t hurt much at all. For almost a week I cleaned them with antibacterial soap and povidone-iodine solution and now they’re completely healed and have almost naturally stretched to a 00g bc 0g plugs are falling out of them 💀. Don’t b dumb like me and just wait or use the taping method which works a whole lot better and is way less painful.
Girl same! I’m an not sizing down idc!😂 this blowout sucks but ima going to push through if it gets any worse then I’ll downsize but I’m gonna try to push through first
I just stretched to 00g 2 days ago and now I’m experiencing complications. It didn’t bleed when I stretched. It hurt a little bit and was sore for that day, but now when I clean it I’m seeing blood, and idk what to do. I struggled to get the plugs in and it was a fail both times so I kept my tapers in and my lives are a little swollen. They still look healthy, but I don’t want to try to get the plugs in and cause more irritation. I just don’t know what to do. It’s frustrating, and I don’t want to keep the tapers in, but I don’t want to go back to 0g and have to endure the same thing all over again. Also, this is the first time I stretched my ears on my own. I usually go to my piercer, but I moved to another state and I can’t go to him anymore.
lol im dealing with a 9/16 blowout now, 1 day after the stretch my ears became so swollen and red, the burning pain was hell its my Second blowout so i didnt wanted to take the risk again so i took the tunnels out, cleaned very well and downsized to 0g, i hope it heals quickly and nice.
iv had in my 5/8ths for ab 2ish months & all of a sudden ones acting like its getting irritated/infected & im not sure what caused it besides maybe the jewelry ?
I haven't had a blow out yet thank God. I started July 2020 and I'm in a zero now and stretching in the shower helped me big time. I'm gonna wait two months before i go to 00 and wearing weights while stretching really helped too
I need help y’all! I’ve called up my local piercing shop and asked what I should do, i stretched my ear from a 8mm to a 10mm and Immediately felt a difference, I’m not sure if it’s because it’s going bigger or something else, I always clean it properly but it’s been swollen for about a week or so now, it doesn’t hurt as much as the first few days but it’s definitely swollen and tender, I really don’t want to downsize because I waited so patiently to get to a 10, the piercers said to just use warm water (which I clean it in the shower) and use the piercing spray. Ive heard camomile tea bags can help but I’m not sure? I still have a taper in because the tunnel won’t even fit because of how swollen it is. What do I do?
Exactly what I’m going through. Every time I try to size up from a 0 to a 00 I always experience trouble 😭. The night I stretched up I literally had no pain and it didn’t bleed. The next day I checked and I had NO TEARS so I tried putting in my 00 flares and they wouldn’t fit so I put the taper back in. The next day I took out the taper to clean it and BAM, it was bleeding. Like wtf!? I was so confused. I’m thinking if anything maybe sleeping with the taper in was too heavy and irritated my ear 🤷🏾♀️. All I know is I’m tired of downsizing and I just don’t want to do it again.

Nope, I got a blow out going up from 00g to 12mm, which is .7mm below 1/2”, but because my tunnels put no pressure or stress on my ear, I washed 3 times a day, used antibiotic ointment after every wash, better after about a week and a few days, I didn’t have to downsize or anything. Blow out hurts, but it’s taken me almost a year to get where I am, I shall not retreat.
Hello I know I’m late, but how do I know if I have a blowout. My gauges have been swollen for two days now, but they don’t hurt or bleed at all, they’ve just been itchy idk if I should take them off because they might be “infected” but they don’t hurt at all it’s just the swelling that doesn’t go down. HELP
So I’ve been at 3/4 for about a year and a half and never suffered from a blow out. I wasn’t sizing up but for some reason in the middle of the night my plug fell out and my ear felt a stinging sensation. I went to the restroom and my ear lobe was swollen and liquid coming out. That can’t be normal. I did just get the booster vaccine 4 the moderna the very same day idk if that’s what caused it. I had a huge headache so idk maybe that’s what caused it?
I just have a blow out from a 4G to a 2G… my right ear won’t stretch as fast as my left ear. My ear is swollen and bleeding. I just put my 3G plug in, the 2G tunnel won’t even go back in smh
im experiencing that neck pain right now. my earlobe is so swollen almost has like a cyst in the back. but no bleeding or pus coming out. is it normal? 😭
If you have a blow out is it very painful I'm just worried because I went from a 14g to a 10g to a 8g in a week no pain in my ear but I can't tell if the back of my ear is poking out and if it is is that considered a blowout even if I'm not experiencing pain
Any tips from anyone. I'm currently at size zero. I went up from a 2. My left earlobe stretches perfectly fine. But my right earlobe on the other hand, wants to fight with me. It's very hard to stretch. No matter if I shower, any tips? Any ways to get its elasticity back? It looks normal. It's just not as stretchy.
Unfortunately you might have to leave the right one’s jewelry in longer or find jewelry that goes up by 1mm so the stretch won’t be as intense. I’ve had the same problem and accidentally forced jewelry in it. I partially ripped my lobe but it healed so Ig I’m lucky. It did end up opening up a little bit. So knowing you have trouble with the other ear, you might wanna treat it with care and be more patient with it.
@@Danyellababe I just had a blowout Saturday it's small but sore ...now I had to go back to a 2G ugh think a 0G gonna be my last time stretching when its time
I didn’t blowout but I tore tf outta the inside of my ear lobe and is currently infected😭 I had started at a 2g and I put some tape to make the transition to a 0g easier. About 5 days later I just wanted to try and see if I could get to a 0. I pushed the taper through and had some resistance but I pushed further, not too hard tho, and it went in pretty easy however it stung like a bitch. During that day it was pretty swollen and was throbbing with pain but ignored it. The next day I get up to clean them and they are suuuper swollen. I took them out immediately bc there was a lot of pressure and I needed to clean them right away. As soon as I take them out they’re dripping with blood. So I cleaned them with some piercing solution and put in my 2g plugs until I could get the things I needed to soak them. Once I was able to soak them there was thick puss everywhere and they just looked so gross. The swelling seems be going down a tiny bit but they’re still pretty swollen. I can’t even put the rings on my plugs cuz they are swollen to the back of them. I’m so sad bc I was so excited to get to a 0 bc my goal is a 00 and now I have to go back down and wait a long time till I can try again. I’m gonna try this time to be more patient and use tape to just gradually get there instead. Wish me luck on my healing journey lol
I waited a year to go from 0 to 00 and I still had terrible pain from stretching. I know that neck pain. I was sore for about 5 days. I did like you and just kept them clean. Eventually they healed but that stretch was the worst.
It's so crazy to me how different our bodies can be. I did that in a two months. No problems at all. My lobes are pretty stretchy too though. I used to get picked on for my ears.lol now my wife's ears are more stiff and firmer then mine.
My ears didn’t bleed but they were extremely sore to the touch and looked like a freshly pierced ear which it wasn’t so I’m assuming I had an infection or was extremely close to having one. I also had discharge coming out of my ear. All this occurred due to me taping my ears long before they were ready to be taped. Please be patient. I hate to sound like one of those people trying to tell you what to do bc there are plenty of those types on RUclips but it’s true. Rushing only causes pain and a longer wait period. My ears are thankfully fine now and I didn’t have to downsize. If you’re impatient like me and don’t feel like waiting then by all means do what works for you but please try to ALWAYS listen to your ears if they’re telling u to stop
Hey! I just got my 8mm stretch (I went from 4g to 0g), and it bled during the process, is it normal? I got my 5mm stretch on october 7, and now it’s november 26, almost december, (it would have been 2 months since I have my 5mm stretch on december 7)
I realized I got a blowout from forcing my tunnels in at 6g today bc I noticed some dried blood and I took them out to clean and my qtips had good amounts of it on them:/ they don’t hurt really but when touched they’re pretty sore and sensitive. I decided to keep the tunnels in but I hope they heal soon bc I cannot deal with this a second time😭
Just got a blowout, stretched to a 00g two days ago, hurt a little bit but I thought otherwise because I had barely any swelling, I kept them in, the inside of my ears didn't hurt that much so I took them out in the shower expecting them to be kind of sore but not raw from over stretching and here I am, gonna go back to 0g and clean them for about 2 or 3 weeks and I'll try again. (EDIT: I listened to what she was saying, I didn't want to go through the pain either so I decided to leave my 00g plug thingy's in, I'm gonna clean the fuck out of my ears the next few weeks, the inside of my ear looks a bit swollen and has some redness and is kind of raw, gonna just do what she did and clean the hell out of it. PLEASE WAIT TO SIZE UP! It really sucks and isn't worth it I'm just too fucking impatient lol! I wanted to get to my last size.)
Every time I try to stretch I start to bleed I'm a 0g I'm recovering from my ears bleeding so ima wait like a year or so I really wanna stretch to a 00g I I had really bad pain all over my jaw it was numb I was temped Like you but I am a 0g now I'ma still wait waiting is better
i’m scared i have a blowout lol and it isn’t even like i’m doing big sizes, i went from a 12g to a 10g. it has pus and a little lump by the hole i’m so tempted to not stretch anymore but i’m not even sure this is a blowout.
Omg I had a blow out few weeks ago. It was painful I tried to talk myself out to not down size but after 2 or 3 days I couldn’t sleep right at all , I would get maybe 2 hour sleep tops cuz how painful it was. ): I ended up Down sizing but I think it was for the best. I’m at 12 mm trying to go to 14mm
ik this was 2yrs ago, but this is me now- my left ear stretched just fine, was a little swollen for a few days, but a week later its fine. my right on the other end, absolutely would not stretch up. i put in double flared teardrop plugs the week before, and injured my ear, and i think thats where i went wrong in the first place. i finally stretched it anyway a few days after the left and it was immediate pain after i got the plug in. i left it in for like 2 days before the pain was just unbearable and i had to take it out. im back down to 12mm rn and i'm sad, but sleeping better at night 😂😭 did yours end up healing and were you able to stretch up soon after?
I dont know if I have a blowout. I stretched to an 8 to a 6 too but like it went so easily with the taper but then i put the jewelry in and it hurt so much. After about 14 hours it hurts when force is on it. I dont know if it's a blowout. I clean it 3 times a day with warm salt water and then a warm shower and then i just massage it with some jojoba oil
I don't even know if I've ever had a blowout before. I've stretched before and even had pretty bad pain, worst one was the 00 stretch which felt like if my ear lobes got slammed multiple times by a car door or something. But I didn't get any blood or infection. People say that the ears get this anus look if you've had a blowout, and my ear holes don't have that appearance. So idk, I guess I've been pretty lucky so far.
I’m glad I just watched your video because I’m gon go to 00 next! Thanks for the heads up! But Ik for a fact I’m going to blow my ears out! 🙄 well, let the pain begin. I guess. lol 😂
Went from a 2g to 0g and have a blow out and left my tunnels in for three day but took them out yesterday and left them out... they hurt so bad and they were bleeding. Imma continue to cleaning them then put. A smaller taper in again
@@homelessmeatball she took them out but I wouldn’t I would fill a bowl up of the solution and leave ur lobes in it 5 mins and use a cotton swab or cotton ball to clean more in if that makes sense
That’s crazy. I don’t know why I’m here I removed my 7/8s back in 2014 when I was in highschool. Never got a blow out and went from an 8 to a 00g in 2 weeks or a little less. Get in a hot shower and use soap, most pain I felt was from 2 to 0g cause I was at 2s for 4 days and heard a pop when I put them in. And yes they never close guys, as of now I can fit a 2 maybe a 0 with a bit of stretching. Tbh my ear hole doesn’t look huge Though it looks like a 10 or 8 if I don’t stretch my earlobes down
soooo... im a little meh when it comes to blowouts.. i dont really understand them but today when i was cleaning my ears i noticed if i push the back of my ear to the from theres skin that looks sort of like a blowout but its not red or bleeding and doesnt hurt at all.. is this a blowout? or is this normal???
They won't immediately shrink back if you take them out just to clean them. I would take them out for no more than 5 min just to clean my ears and then I would apply vitamin E oil and put the tunnels back in. Just don't take them out for too long and they won't shrink 😊
Absolutely do not take them out to clean them. Give them a saline soak for 10 to 15 mins till the swelling and pain goes away (5 to 6 days usually). Only then should you take the jewelry out and clean it. Taking it out while it's not done healing WILL cause an even worse infection since you're opening up a wound and allowing the infection to reach it.
No its not normal. Order you some 1G glass plugs .. it'll help your stretch to 0G because 2g-0g is one of the big jumps. I've had my 1G plugs in since June and they're still not ready.
Exactly that happened to me, it was horrible to arrive at 00 I was taking tylenol for 3 days and super swollen, but I cleaned it 3 times a day and it was better
Hey every, I just got to 2s and I am going though what I just found out is a blow out, My ears a hurting but no neck pain. I just wanted to ask a ? To be sure I’m going in the right direction. I can keep them in while cleaning? Because taking them out and putting them back in to clean them hurts like hell!
At what size? I’m at 7/16” and went up a size too early. It got real swollen. So left it out. I could barely get a 00 taper back in. I did though and it wasn’t bad at all by the end of the day. So I put a silicone tunnel in to sleep in. The next morning swollen and bleeding. Pulled it out and now it’s completely swollen shut. I’m afraid the hole is closed up now
I went from a 10mm to a 12mm and got a huge blowout. I was also so infected.. and didn’t wanna downsizing the tunnels. So I cleaned them twice a day with antibacterial soap and put wooden tunnels in. After 10 days it was completely healed. Can’t recommend it to anyone to do the same. But if you don’t give a fuck, can handle pain and be very proper, just leave them in
I've never liked my fat earlobes until I started stretching them. I stretc roughly every two weeks. I know I should wait longer but they usually accept the plugs.
😂 my stupid ass always kept my tunnels on after blow outs...they usually just healed after a few days my ears still look pretty healthy although I’m not going to stretch for a while because I’m pretty sure that I have a micro tear
Jazzarai Jackson i leave them. i just stretched to 5/8 & refused to downsize. just used Neosporin & flipped the plug backwards to push the skin back in while i slept & they’re fine now
OMG !!! You suffered so much during the 00g stretch blowout, but you handled it. You are very brave, perhaps, I couldn't be able to, thanks for sharing this painful Unique experience 💗
Deciding that 0g was the last size for a good while I sized up too early, (barely two weeks) and oooooo do they hurt but i didn't wanna back down. I put my plugs in a day after but that was not a good idea now I have one taper and one plug but cleaning them have been my biggest help. And massaging them cause the lobe is firm.
I stretched a week ago to a 6g and just discovered it's bleeding. It looks perfectly healthy and it doesn't hurt at all but it IS bleeding and a little red in the back (it's only the right ear with problems.) I'm not sure if this is normal??
@@emilythomas8305 the fact that it wasn't hurting not one bit and it was only a few specks of blood. I treated then anyways though I cleaned them everyday and rubbed them with oil.
QueenGlooby they still isn’t smart though what mindset do you have where you just think “my ear doesn’t hurt but it’s bleeding so I think I’m okay” lol? You must be a child.
QueenGlooby I’m not being dramatic? It’s common sense lol? Even if it was 6 years ago I would just say what made you think if you see blood there’s literally nothing wrong it’s just .. not smart lol but do u smart guy 10/10 for effort I guess?
I'm experiencing this pain right now!!!!!!! And the pain down my neck! And I do not want to take it out and have to feel the pain again. But this pain is hell!!!!!! It won't stop burning!!!!!!
It's probably too late, but if you just downsize back and wait get your ear unswollen and try again a few weeks later you will be able to go up.. I recommend using artic buffalo glass plugs, cleaner, smoother and great for stretching and no risk of allergic reaction from glass. It happen to me before my nodes swoll up and it does always mean an infection,it's trama to the ear so it reacts so easily, but it can lead to infection easily as well, sea salt soak and no harsh cleaners and ice helps too
I NEED HEEELPPPP Okay so I’ve been at my size (1/2)for about 3 months and I have no problems with sizing it up, it was a great transition but just recently it started getting swollen, puss-ie and there’s this firm lump behind my ear that kinda goes down my neck like as if trauma has happened. I don’t know what it is bc I take care of my ears!! My jewelry for it is soft silicone (I wear it all the time) and I clean my ears EVERYDAY with natural bar soaps (I’ve always washed it that way and never had a problem) I’m so confused of what’s going on??? )-: bc my ear is acting like it’s blown out!!! I’m avoiding laying on my ear bc it hurts, I’m massaging my ear and I’ve even sized down. Can anyone help decode this bullshittery?? 😫😫
Went from a 10-4 hahahaha now 4-0 or 00 and I mean I get a blow out I have antibiotics and plenty of ibuprofen so I’ll just be stretching but make sure everything is good. My ears heal fast and I take a lot of vitamin c for my immune system and haven’t been getting sick. These are my first and only gauges. Try to pass 1”
Omg I’m freaking out! I think I had a blow out but it’s really red and it’s so sore but I don’t want to suffer through the pain again 😫 i went from a 0 to a 00 as well, and I took one out to see what was wrong with it earlier today and it wouldn’t stop bleeding.. I’ve probably had them in for about like 4 days maybe? But the pain was so intense even laying down hurt so much. Idk what to do, should I just clean them every day like you said and hopefully it’ll be okay? Or should I freak out lol
Idk but you might wanna downsize since you said it didn’t stop bleeding cuz it is better to be safe than sorry later but idk I have never had a blowout so I don’t really know even tho I went from 14 to 2g in 2 months they heal up super fast and didn’t hurt at all while stretching
Real shit, what’s weird is when I was putting the tapers in it went so smoothly but 2days later, mad blood, not dripping but when I took the tunnel out to clean is when the blood came😓 now im back at an 8g
@@LucifersGothGirl same omg except it was the day after I stretched they went in fine besides the burning/stinging but I pushed my tunnels in bc they wouldn’t and blew out both ears. I took my tunnels out to clean and then I saw the blood and they were still bleeding but I’m keeping them in the same way the video is and just hoping the best unless I downsize
So i went to stretch from a 2g to a 0g it was going fine till i heard a pop then my ear started bleeding and some skin came out of my ear and completely off like it didnt hurt at all til it poped if it would have hurt i would have stopped before fucking up on one of my ears ive never had this happen before
That sounds awful! 😮 Skin came out of your ear? I've never heard that before.. maybe you should take out your plugs if you have any in and just let your ear lobes heal. If you don't want to start all over I'd recommend you at least go back down to 2g or even 4g until it's completely healed
@@EdithNunezP yeah i went back down to 2g so my ear can heal its doing alot better not much swelling at all and no bleeding after the firt day so hopefully i didnt fuck up my ear
@@nathaliedodson Just make sure you're cleaning it often so you don't get an infection. I'm glad your ear lobes are better though 😊 I think you'll be fine as long as you let it heal completely before trying to stretch again.
i got my first blowout from stretching 2g to 0g and i dont wanna take em out! i waited so long to get to 0g i been cleaning them how long before i take em out to clean
I know I’m late but I stretched mine yesterday and I’m still in pain today. They’re swollen and hurt to touch, move . I can’t even take them out to clean. Do I just wait orrrr?
Yes I just went thru this going from 2 to 0. Your blowout does looks a bit more intense tho. My neck was and is hurting a bit rn too. So I did it 2 weeks ago, had a blow out but was like I’m not going thru that again so I was just taking care of them the best I could and figured I’d just give them exxxtra love w the massaging once they were healed. The left on was particularly swollen and tightly hugging the jewelry so I just lubed it tf up in coconut oil one night from behind the ear not thinking that it would actually come out during my sleep(didn’t put rubberbands on ends of plugs) so in the morning there was no way 0 was going back in my right ear so had to go back to 2 which I was sad Bc I didn’t know if 0 would easily go back thru or not once healed enough to try. Been waiting 2 weeks doing the coco oil massaging every other day left ear is doing lovely.. so I went for it. It started bleeding before I was even at peak pain so said fuck it and just pushed it thru. It bled. It hurt. It’s bad I know. But I’m wanting to keep my ears on same track so I want it hurry up and let this heal enough that I can just chill w them and start doing the massages everyday. Once these are healed very well I will also start the taping method so I can be on my way to 00 and so on. I learned my lesson it is a patient process but I’m reading ppl swearing by the taping method so excited to try next time
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEEEE REPLY !! Did you take out your tunnels while cleaning your ears and using the oil or did you leave them in to do all this??? I just stretched to a six pretty sure I have a blowout and do not want to down size, also what did you clean with?
I would take them out to clean them even if it really hurt taking them out and putting them back in. It's really important you clean inside and not just around it. Use q tips and saline solution to clean them and I would apply vitamin E oil after.
I went from 2g to 1g and even the jump from 1g to 0g was horrible. I had to use the half size between 1 and 0 and that definitely helped. Also, in my experience, blowouts have only made my ears healthier and better with elasticity once they’ve healed.
@@susannahgenevieve1287 I've had my 1G glass plugs in since June and my ears still aren't ready 😫 where'd you get the half size in between 1g& 0g plugs from??
i went from 2 to 0 before going to bed said fuck it😂 that neck pain kept me up i had to get up and take 2 advils. in the morning i found i had a minor blowout.. the first of my stretch journey which has been literally about a month and a half, no patience😅
DISCLAIMER: if you stretch your ears the correct way, you will in NO WAY shape or form feel pain or discomfort. The jump from 0g to 00g is a whole 2mm jump. That's why it hurts 🤦♀️ there is 9mm gauge that's between 0 and 00. Or you can use the plumber tape.
@Corerok895 I usually wait about 3 months in between sizing up. However everyones healing process is different. But I would recommend at least 2 months. 💜
Just went up to 16mm and blew both ears. You should never feel any pain when stretching but everybody body is different. I stretched every month and this time I didn’t take my time. TAKE. YOUR TIME
I totally agree why go down a size after all that suffering im at a 8g and one of my ears have a mini blowout im not going down im gonna wait a while let it heal then move up to a 6g
Since this was posted 11 months ago I’m assuming you’ve done the 6g already? How was it for u? The taper went in smoothly for mine but 2 days later a lot of blood when I took the tunnels out to clean em. Now I’m not sure whether or not I should leave the 6s in or downsize
I think its normal to feel a pinch and some soreness after stretching, If you are experiencing pain, redness, soreness for more than a day or two I would check for any small cuts in the hole of your lobe. Im at a 0g right now in both ears, my right ear never stretches like my left. Always more pain in my right, tighter. This can cause tears in the lobe if you stretch too fast. I would say clean it twice I day like she does hers just to keep out any infection if there is one.
I’m going through the same thing right now honestly. I really don’t want to take my plugs out and it’s starting to get infected and I had severe pain down my neck the first couple of days too. I’m trying to do everything I can to heal it before I give up and downsize. The infection looks better already and I can twist my plug without a problem it’s just the back where the blow out is worse.
Apply some vitamin E. I didnt get an infection but if you have one I would recommend you downsize.. unless you really do think it's getting better, just please make sure you're cleaning it with saline solution every day 😊
EdithNunez P The infection has actually gone away I just still have the blow out pretty bad but I clean it with saline twice every day. Thank you so much tho! This has helped wonders!
@@gh0stFace13x I let it heal on it's own. Just used the Vitamin E oil like usual. Healed in 2 to 3 days. I should've used the neosporin cream but I didn't think of it at the time
OMG your adorable I just had a blowout today I took my plugs out cleaned then from the one that blowout and put a smaller tunnel in then what I did it stop bleeding after few mins it stop hurting after i put smaller ones in but it's still swollen kinda swollen is that normal
@@EdithNunezP OMG thank u so much for answering back thanku so much was worried for min this not first-time it happend but it's been a min since I stretch So they closed some so I re stretch so one blew out but not the other one so thank u for talking to me help alot sorry for any miss spelling I type fast lol
The last time?? Damn how many blow outs did you get? Girl stop forcing, if every two weeks does not work for you, then do every month. Were you even waiting two weeks before sizing up?
Man I thought I was going to get a blow out from a 14g straight into a 00g I’m staying this size there not to big. something light. Didn’t feel like waiting several days or months for my ears to heal I have a different pain tolerance and so far my ears do not hurt, easily to remove already switched into some nice stainless steel plugs and will hopefully size up in a month or a few weeks until I decide. Sea salt solution, disinfect spray on my ears and lobs and Shea butter. Had my ears stretched to 00g for 2 days so far enjoying the look! Old video I know but I seen your video first before others
Square Up omg for future people, don’t ever skip this many sizes in one session 🥴 good for you that it went well, but that’s honestly not healthy bruv 💀💀 MY EARS HURT READING THIS LOL
babygurl__ already at half a inch lol literally stretched the next day after I posted the comment. I’m not one to care or give a fuck about things so I do what a want and my ears look amazing already have some stainless steel tunnels with gems around the circle if that makes sense lol. My eyes died reading your reply 😂. Everyone’s different in how they do their stretched ears :)
Square Up bruhhh. honestly good for you. im at the size after 00g. and i was stretching and when i went to the next size. it was all good and it didn’t hurt. but further into the day for whatever reason it started to reject? ig? so i had to downsize and im kinda sad now :( i wish my ears weren’t like this 😭😂
the neck pain for me was craaazy I almost cried one night and started panicking thinking I was gonna die 😂 I never woulda thought someone else was suffering just like me
For me it was that damn 00-7/16. It’s such a huge jump and ugh. Thank you for this!
Yessss omg 14mm to 16mm did it for me now I have to go to 15 mm I got some glass plugs. I sus ally stretch in 1 mm increments anyways but was impatient smdh
I would advise against the taping method, as it isn't very healthy, especially using PTFE tape. I, however, would recommend single flare glass plugs from Arctic Buffalo! They come in clear, white, and black. They are also inexpensive. They seem to be one of the best ways to stretch!
Thank you, I'll look into that 😊
You're welcome! I wish you well!
I also use stone. The stone is just heavy enough to slow stretch naturally
Ive seen sooooooo many ppl suggesting taping method and it works pretty well if you know what youre doing.
kittensx6 I taped from 0g to 12 mm ,been dead stretching after that
I just stretched from a 2g to 0g about a month ago after being at a 2g for about 3 months. I took a hot shower before the stretch which helped but it still hurt really bad. I kept the tapers in for a few days even though it was extremely painful and swollen and went swimming which was a horrible idea. When I took the tapers out the day after swimming puss and blood literally poured out of them 🤮. I drained them and cleaned them with antibacterial soap and alcohol and let them just sit without any jewelry all day. Then I restretched back to a 0g that night which didn’t hurt much at all. For almost a week I cleaned them with antibacterial soap and povidone-iodine solution and now they’re completely healed and have almost naturally stretched to a 00g bc 0g plugs are falling out of them 💀. Don’t b dumb like me and just wait or use the taping method which works a whole lot better and is way less painful.
I just stretched from a 2 to 0 and I just can’t imagine down sizing :(
Girl same! I’m an not sizing down idc!😂 this blowout sucks but ima going to push through if it gets any worse then I’ll downsize but I’m gonna try to push through first
I just stretched to 00g 2 days ago and now I’m experiencing complications. It didn’t bleed when I stretched. It hurt a little bit and was sore for that day, but now when I clean it I’m seeing blood, and idk what to do. I struggled to get the plugs in and it was a fail both times so I kept my tapers in and my lives are a little swollen. They still look healthy, but I don’t want to try to get the plugs in and cause more irritation. I just don’t know what to do. It’s frustrating, and I don’t want to keep the tapers in, but I don’t want to go back to 0g and have to endure the same thing all over again. Also, this is the first time I stretched my ears on my own. I usually go to my piercer, but I moved to another state and I can’t go to him anymore.
update?
damn girl, that's rough. i frickin love your hair btw
Thanks ❤️
When you cleaned it when you had a blowout did you take it out completely or just cleaned around it cause taking it out is a pain
I only have a blowout on one side and it’s from 6g to a 4g what should I clean them with ?
lol im dealing with a 9/16 blowout now, 1 day after the stretch my ears became so swollen and red, the burning pain was hell
its my Second blowout so i didnt wanted to take the risk again so i took the tunnels out, cleaned very well and downsized to 0g, i hope it heals quickly and nice.
iv had in my 5/8ths for ab 2ish months & all of a sudden ones acting like its getting irritated/infected & im not sure what caused it besides maybe the jewelry ?
I haven't had a blow out yet thank God. I started July 2020 and I'm in a zero now and stretching in the shower helped me big time. I'm gonna wait two months before i go to 00 and wearing weights while stretching really helped too
I need help y’all! I’ve called up my local piercing shop and asked what I should do, i stretched my ear from a 8mm to a 10mm and Immediately felt a difference, I’m not sure if it’s because it’s going bigger or something else, I always clean it properly but it’s been swollen for about a week or so now, it doesn’t hurt as much as the first few days but it’s definitely swollen and tender, I really don’t want to downsize because I waited so patiently to get to a 10, the piercers said to just use warm water (which I clean it in the shower) and use the piercing spray. Ive heard camomile tea bags can help but I’m not sure? I still have a taper in because the tunnel won’t even fit because of how swollen it is. What do I do?
Can anyone help me out with fixing an ear that's suffered from blowouts where downsizing hasn't worked? Will going to a 00g make the shape better?
Exactly what I’m going through. Every time I try to size up from a 0 to a 00 I always experience trouble 😭. The night I stretched up I literally had no pain and it didn’t bleed. The next day I checked and I had NO TEARS so I tried putting in my 00 flares and they wouldn’t fit so I put the taper back in. The next day I took out the taper to clean it and BAM, it was bleeding. Like wtf!? I was so confused. I’m thinking if anything maybe sleeping with the taper in was too heavy and irritated my ear 🤷🏾♀️. All I know is I’m tired of downsizing and I just don’t want to do it again.
I went from a 0 to 00 and I got a blowout on my left ear but I’m just rubbing it with salt and hydrogen peroxide making sure it’s fine
Edith Nunez Hey ! Please make a video on how to change to belly button rings & show your collections & try your favourites & would love to see them how it looks Edith Nunez ❤️
Nope, I got a blow out going up from 00g to 12mm, which is .7mm below 1/2”, but because my tunnels put no pressure or stress on my ear, I washed 3 times a day, used antibiotic ointment after every wash, better after about a week and a few days, I didn’t have to downsize or anything. Blow out hurts, but it’s taken me almost a year to get where I am, I shall not retreat.
Hello I know I’m late, but how do I know if I have a blowout. My gauges have been swollen for two days now, but they don’t hurt or bleed at all, they’ve just been itchy idk if I should take them off because they might be “infected” but they don’t hurt at all it’s just the swelling that doesn’t go down. HELP
Do u clean it with the tunnels in or u take out?
So I’ve been at 3/4 for about a year and a half and never suffered from a blow out. I wasn’t sizing up but for some reason in the middle of the night my plug fell out and my ear felt a stinging sensation. I went to the restroom and my ear lobe was swollen and liquid coming out. That can’t be normal. I did just get the booster vaccine 4 the moderna the very same day idk if that’s what caused it. I had a huge headache so idk maybe that’s what caused it?
I just have a blow out from a 4G to a 2G… my right ear won’t stretch as fast as my left ear. My ear is swollen and bleeding. I just put my 3G plug in, the 2G tunnel won’t even go back in smh
8 to 6 yes its happen to me too
But i didn't have any pain on neck, my ear was bleeding and pus was coming out alot but later it heal
im experiencing that neck pain right now. my earlobe is so swollen almost has like a cyst in the back. but no bleeding or pus coming out. is it normal? 😭
If you have a blow out is it very painful I'm just worried because I went from a 14g to a 10g to a 8g in a week no pain in my ear but I can't tell if the back of my ear is poking out and if it is is that considered a blowout even if I'm not experiencing pain
Any tips from anyone. I'm currently at size zero. I went up from a 2. My left earlobe stretches perfectly fine. But my right earlobe on the other hand, wants to fight with me. It's very hard to stretch. No matter if I shower, any tips? Any ways to get its elasticity back? It looks normal. It's just not as stretchy.
Unfortunately you might have to leave the right one’s jewelry in longer or find jewelry that goes up by 1mm so the stretch won’t be as intense. I’ve had the same problem and accidentally forced jewelry in it. I partially ripped my lobe but it healed so Ig I’m lucky. It did end up opening up a little bit. So knowing you have trouble with the other ear, you might wanna treat it with care and be more patient with it.
@@Danyellababe I just had a blowout Saturday it's small but sore ...now I had to go back to a 2G ugh think a 0G gonna be my last time stretching when its time
I didn’t blowout but I tore tf outta the inside of my ear lobe and is currently infected😭 I had started at a 2g and I put some tape to make the transition to a 0g easier. About 5 days later I just wanted to try and see if I could get to a 0. I pushed the taper through and had some resistance but I pushed further, not too hard tho, and it went in pretty easy however it stung like a bitch. During that day it was pretty swollen and was throbbing with pain but ignored it. The next day I get up to clean them and they are suuuper swollen. I took them out immediately bc there was a lot of pressure and I needed to clean them right away. As soon as I take them out they’re dripping with blood. So I cleaned them with some piercing solution and put in my 2g plugs until I could get the things I needed to soak them. Once I was able to soak them there was thick puss everywhere and they just looked so gross. The swelling seems be going down a tiny bit but they’re still pretty swollen. I can’t even put the rings on my plugs cuz they are swollen to the back of them. I’m so sad bc I was so excited to get to a 0 bc my goal is a 00 and now I have to go back down and wait a long time till I can try again. I’m gonna try this time to be more patient and use tape to just gradually get there instead. Wish me luck on my healing journey lol
I waited a year to go from 0 to 00 and I still had terrible pain from stretching. I know that neck pain. I was sore for about 5 days. I did like you and just kept them clean. Eventually they healed but that stretch was the worst.
It's so crazy to me how different our bodies can be. I did that in a two months. No problems at all. My lobes are pretty stretchy too though. I used to get picked on for my ears.lol now my wife's ears are more stiff and firmer then mine.
did you try 9mm? (since 0G is 8mm and 00G is 10mm) it is a nice step right in the middle, it helped me a lot!
thank you soo much for this video!!!
My ears didn’t bleed but they were extremely sore to the touch and looked like a freshly pierced ear which it wasn’t so I’m assuming I had an infection or was extremely close to having one. I also had discharge coming out of my ear. All this occurred due to me taping my ears long before they were ready to be taped. Please be patient. I hate to sound like one of those people trying to tell you what to do bc there are plenty of those types on RUclips but it’s true. Rushing only causes pain and a longer wait period. My ears are thankfully fine now and I didn’t have to downsize. If you’re impatient like me and don’t feel like waiting then by all means do what works for you but please try to ALWAYS listen to your ears if they’re telling u to stop
Hey! I just got my 8mm stretch (I went from 4g to 0g), and it bled during the process, is it normal? I got my 5mm stretch on october 7, and now it’s november 26, almost december, (it would have been 2 months since I have my 5mm stretch on december 7)
I realized I got a blowout from forcing my tunnels in at 6g today bc I noticed some dried blood and I took them out to clean and my qtips had good amounts of it on them:/ they don’t hurt really but when touched they’re pretty sore and sensitive. I decided to keep the tunnels in but I hope they heal soon bc I cannot deal with this a second time😭
I had to wash my hair the day after I stretched to 0g and the shampoo got in them and it stings😮💨😩
Just got a blowout, stretched to a 00g two days ago, hurt a little bit but I thought otherwise because I had barely any swelling, I kept them in, the inside of my ears didn't hurt that much so I took them out in the shower expecting them to be kind of sore but not raw from over stretching and here I am, gonna go back to 0g and clean them for about 2 or 3 weeks and I'll try again.
(EDIT: I listened to what she was saying, I didn't want to go through the pain either so I decided to leave my 00g plug thingy's in, I'm gonna clean the fuck out of my ears the next few weeks, the inside of my ear looks a bit swollen and has some redness and is kind of raw, gonna just do what she did and clean the hell out of it. PLEASE WAIT TO SIZE UP! It really sucks and isn't worth it I'm just too fucking impatient lol! I wanted to get to my last size.)
Every time I try to stretch I start to bleed I'm a 0g I'm recovering from my ears bleeding so ima wait like a year or so I really wanna stretch to a 00g I I had really bad pain all over my jaw it was numb I was temped Like you but I am a 0g now I'ma still wait waiting is better
That pain is your gland fighting the infection attempting to start
i’m scared i have a blowout lol and it isn’t even like i’m doing big sizes, i went from a 12g to a 10g. it has pus and a little lump by the hole i’m so tempted to not stretch anymore but i’m not even sure this is a blowout.
Omg I had a blow out few weeks ago. It was painful I tried to talk myself out to not down size but after 2 or 3 days I couldn’t sleep right at all , I would get maybe 2 hour sleep tops cuz how painful it was. ): I ended up Down sizing but I think it was for the best. I’m at 12 mm trying to go to 14mm
can't sleep rn bc of this😭
ik this was 2yrs ago, but this is me now- my left ear stretched just fine, was a little swollen for a few days, but a week later its fine. my right on the other end, absolutely would not stretch up. i put in double flared teardrop plugs the week before, and injured my ear, and i think thats where i went wrong in the first place. i finally stretched it anyway a few days after the left and it was immediate pain after i got the plug in. i left it in for like 2 days before the pain was just unbearable and i had to take it out. im back down to 12mm rn and i'm sad, but sleeping better at night 😂😭 did yours end up healing and were you able to stretch up soon after?
I have 00g now but switched from metal to plastic and now I have to clean them everyday cause my ears are reacting to the plastic
Efffy Zombie should of kept them metal. Some plastics eat away at your ears. Surgical steel plugs are best
I dont know if I have a blowout. I stretched to an 8 to a 6 too but like it went so easily with the taper but then i put the jewelry in and it hurt so much. After about 14 hours it hurts when force is on it. I dont know if it's a blowout. I clean it 3 times a day with warm salt water and then a warm shower and then i just massage it with some jojoba oil
That’s how mines are too but they blew out. The tunnels being pushed in caused them to not the tapers
I don't even know if I've ever had a blowout before. I've stretched before and even had pretty bad pain, worst one was the 00 stretch which felt like if my ear lobes got slammed multiple times by a car door or something. But I didn't get any blood or infection. People say that the ears get this anus look if you've had a blowout, and my ear holes don't have that appearance. So idk, I guess I've been pretty lucky so far.
I got the same neck pain and everything and it was an infection, did you not see a dr?
So my left ear is smaller than the other one
Its been hell
I’m glad I just watched your video because I’m gon go to 00 next! Thanks for the heads up! But Ik for a fact I’m going to blow my ears out! 🙄 well, let the pain begin. I guess. lol 😂
i thought my neck pain had to do with my blowout but felt crazy, i’m so glad i downsized
Went from a 2g to 0g and have a blow out and left my tunnels in for three day but took them out yesterday and left them out... they hurt so bad and they were bleeding. Imma continue to cleaning them then put. A smaller taper in again
Order 1G glass plugs from Arctic Buffalo.. they help with the big stretch from 2g-0g!! ☺️
did you take the tunnels out everyday when you cleaned it or did you just clean around them?
Thats what im trying to figure out any update results?
@@homelessmeatball she took them out but I wouldn’t I would fill a bowl up of the solution and leave ur lobes in it 5 mins and use a cotton swab or cotton ball to clean more in if that makes sense
I had 3 blowouts and they hurt like a bitch. I would always get this sharp pain in my neck and I didn’t know why but now i know
That’s crazy. I don’t know why I’m here I removed my 7/8s back in 2014 when I was in highschool. Never got a blow out and went from an 8 to a 00g in 2 weeks or a little less. Get in a hot shower and use soap, most pain I felt was from 2 to 0g cause I was at 2s for 4 days and heard a pop when I put them in. And yes they never close guys, as of now I can fit a 2 maybe a 0 with a bit of stretching. Tbh my ear hole doesn’t look huge Though it looks like a 10 or 8 if I don’t stretch my earlobes down
soooo... im a little meh when it comes to blowouts.. i dont really understand them but today when i was cleaning my ears i noticed if i push the back of my ear to the from theres skin that looks sort of like a blowout but its not red or bleeding and doesnt hurt at all.. is this a blowout? or is this normal???
Probably an old blowout that didn't heal properly
Thanks for this video. Super helpful
I'm having the same situation.. how do you take them out to clean them without then shrinking right back
They won't immediately shrink back if you take them out just to clean them. I would take them out for no more than 5 min just to clean my ears and then I would apply vitamin E oil and put the tunnels back in. Just don't take them out for too long and they won't shrink 😊
Clean around them. Don’t take them out. And don’t move them a lot. All that’s gonna do is rip more skin on the inside.
@@karmarutland8848 You have to take them out once in awhile to clean the inside
Absolutely do not take them out to clean them. Give them a saline soak for 10 to 15 mins till the swelling and pain goes away (5 to 6 days usually). Only then should you take the jewelry out and clean it. Taking it out while it's not done healing WILL cause an even worse infection since you're opening up a wound and allowing the infection to reach it.
yeah i just has a blow out going from 8 to 6. very much hurts and I will be cleaning it and keeping it in.
omg ım scared now because my ear like 2 day ago streching my ear to 10mm and today my lobe cysti
what did you use to clean it with?
I just went from a 2g to 0g and im also experiencing neck pain right where you pointed. Is that normal?
No its not normal. Order you some 1G glass plugs .. it'll help your stretch to 0G because 2g-0g is one of the big jumps. I've had my 1G plugs in since June and they're still not ready.
Exactly that happened to me, it was horrible to arrive at 00 I was taking tylenol for 3 days and super swollen, but I cleaned it 3 times a day and it was better
Hey every, I just got to 2s and I am going though what I just found out is a blow out, My ears a hurting but no neck pain. I just wanted to ask a ? To be sure I’m going in the right direction.
I can keep them in while cleaning? Because taking them out and putting them back in to clean them hurts like hell!
Ikkkk! But yes you can just dunk ur ears in a bowl or little cup/container of the solution for 5 mins and trying using jojoba oil if u can on them
My blowout was pretty bad like that, I tried down sizing and it wouldnt heal so I had to take it out completely and it finally healed.
At what size? I’m at 7/16” and went up a size too early. It got real swollen. So left it out. I could barely get a 00 taper back in. I did though and it wasn’t bad at all by the end of the day. So I put a silicone tunnel in to sleep in. The next morning swollen and bleeding. Pulled it out and now it’s completely swollen shut. I’m afraid the hole is closed up now
Did you dip your ears in salt water or did you spray salt water?
I went from a 10mm to a 12mm and got a huge blowout. I was also so infected.. and didn’t wanna downsizing the tunnels. So I cleaned them twice a day with antibacterial soap and put wooden tunnels in. After 10 days it was completely healed. Can’t recommend it to anyone to do the same. But if you don’t give a fuck, can handle pain and be very proper, just leave them in
With stretched ear holes "That's the cat's ass" is not a complement.
I've never liked my fat earlobes until I started stretching them. I stretc roughly every two weeks. I know I should wait longer but they usually accept the plugs.
Please be careful! I used to do the same but now I have a blow out 🥺🥺
@@smashley4387 too late i already got one. Ive sized down and it better now. Thank you for reaching out.
@@Single4ever4lovesake Aw man I literally just got a blow out rn and trying to save it but I only have silicone tunnels
😂 my stupid ass always kept my tunnels on after blow outs...they usually just healed after a few days my ears still look pretty healthy although I’m not going to stretch for a while because I’m pretty sure that I have a micro tear
I’ve now learned to stretch with glass orrr use the taping method everyone thinks it’s slow but it’s much more useful
Jazzarai Jackson i leave them. i just stretched to 5/8 & refused to downsize. just used Neosporin & flipped the plug backwards to push the skin back in while i slept & they’re fine now
OMG !!! You suffered so much during the 00g stretch blowout, but you handled it. You are very brave, perhaps, I couldn't be able to, thanks for sharing this painful Unique experience 💗
Yes very painful but worth it haha
Thank you
Deciding that 0g was the last size for a good while I sized up too early, (barely two weeks) and oooooo do they hurt but i didn't wanna back down. I put my plugs in a day after but that was not a good idea now I have one taper and one plug but cleaning them have been my biggest help. And massaging them cause the lobe is firm.
I stretched a week ago to a 6g and just discovered it's bleeding. It looks perfectly healthy and it doesn't hurt at all but it IS bleeding and a little red in the back (it's only the right ear with problems.) I'm not sure if this is normal??
QueenGlooby if it’s bleeding what in your mind think it’s okay..?
@@emilythomas8305 the fact that it wasn't hurting not one bit and it was only a few specks of blood. I treated then anyways though I cleaned them everyday and rubbed them with oil.
QueenGlooby they still isn’t smart though what mindset do you have where you just think “my ear doesn’t hurt but it’s bleeding so I think I’m okay” lol? You must be a child.
@@emilythomas8305 I posted this thing two months ago and my ears are fine so it was nothing to be dramatic about?
QueenGlooby I’m not being dramatic? It’s common sense lol? Even if it was 6 years ago I would just say what made you think if you see blood there’s literally nothing wrong it’s just .. not smart lol but do u smart guy 10/10 for effort I guess?
I'm experiencing this pain right now!!!!!!! And the pain down my neck! And I do not want to take it out and have to feel the pain again. But this pain is hell!!!!!! It won't stop burning!!!!!!
It's probably too late, but if you just downsize back and wait get your ear unswollen and try again a few weeks later you will be able to go up.. I recommend using artic buffalo glass plugs, cleaner, smoother and great for stretching and no risk of allergic reaction from glass. It happen to me before my nodes swoll up and it does always mean an infection,it's trama to the ear so it reacts so easily, but it can lead to infection easily as well, sea salt soak and no harsh cleaners and ice helps too
I NEED HEEELPPPP
Okay so I’ve been at my size (1/2)for about 3 months and I have no problems with sizing it up, it was a great transition but just recently it started getting swollen, puss-ie and there’s this firm lump behind my ear that kinda goes down my neck like as if trauma has happened. I don’t know what it is bc I take care of my ears!! My jewelry for it is soft silicone (I wear it all the time) and I clean my ears EVERYDAY with natural bar soaps (I’ve always washed it that way and never had a problem)
I’m so confused of what’s going on??? )-: bc my ear is acting like it’s blown out!!! I’m avoiding laying on my ear bc it hurts, I’m massaging my ear and I’ve even sized down. Can anyone help decode this bullshittery?? 😫😫
Did you ever figure out what was going on?
hows ur ears now :0
Girl 😭🥺 watching this cuz I got blowout
Went from a 10-4 hahahaha now 4-0 or 00 and I mean I get a blow out I have antibiotics and plenty of ibuprofen so I’ll just be stretching but make sure everything is good. My ears heal fast and I take a lot of vitamin c for my immune system and haven’t been getting sick. These are my first and only gauges. Try to pass 1”
Anyone have problems with stretching my ears are bruised from the back
Omg I’m freaking out! I think I had a blow out but it’s really red and it’s so sore but I don’t want to suffer through the pain again 😫 i went from a 0 to a 00 as well, and I took one out to see what was wrong with it earlier today and it wouldn’t stop bleeding.. I’ve probably had them in for about like 4 days maybe? But the pain was so intense even laying down hurt so much. Idk what to do, should I just clean them every day like you said and hopefully it’ll be okay? Or should I freak out lol
Idk but you might wanna downsize since you said it didn’t stop bleeding cuz it is better to be safe than sorry later but idk I have never had a blowout so I don’t really know even tho I went from 14 to 2g in 2 months they heal up super fast and didn’t hurt at all while stretching
I had that happen to me recently with the same stretch I just kept my jewelry in and cleaned around it
Ibuprofen will help with pain and inflammation.
i stretched 8 to 6 and i had a blow out i went to clean them the next night and they were throbbing through the day
Real shit, what’s weird is when I was putting the tapers in it went so smoothly but 2days later, mad blood, not dripping but when I took the tunnel out to clean is when the blood came😓 now im back at an 8g
I’m literally going through the same thing right now 🙃
@@LucifersGothGirl same omg except it was the day after I stretched they went in fine besides the burning/stinging but I pushed my tunnels in bc they wouldn’t and blew out both ears.
I took my tunnels out to clean and then I saw the blood and they were still bleeding but I’m keeping them in the same way the video is and just hoping the best unless I downsize
So i went to stretch from a 2g to a 0g it was going fine till i heard a pop then my ear started bleeding and some skin came out of my ear and completely off like it didnt hurt at all til it poped if it would have hurt i would have stopped before fucking up on one of my ears ive never had this happen before
That sounds awful! 😮 Skin came out of your ear? I've never heard that before.. maybe you should take out your plugs if you have any in and just let your ear lobes heal. If you don't want to start all over I'd recommend you at least go back down to 2g or even 4g until it's completely healed
@@EdithNunezP yeah i went back down to 2g so my ear can heal its doing alot better not much swelling at all and no bleeding after the firt day so hopefully i didnt fuck up my ear
@@nathaliedodson Just make sure you're cleaning it often so you don't get an infection. I'm glad your ear lobes are better though 😊 I think you'll be fine as long as you let it heal completely before trying to stretch again.
i got my first blowout from stretching 2g to 0g and i dont wanna take em out! i waited so long to get to 0g i been cleaning them how long before i take em out to clean
Same here, shit sucks lol
I know I’m late but I stretched mine yesterday and I’m still in pain today. They’re swollen and hurt to touch, move . I can’t even take them out to clean. Do I just wait orrrr?
Arctic Buffalo has 1G glass plugs. 2g-0g is a big stretch . I've had my 1G glass plugs in since June and they're still not fully ready.
Yes I just went thru this going from 2 to 0. Your blowout does looks a bit more intense tho. My neck was and is hurting a bit rn too. So I did it 2 weeks ago, had a blow out but was like I’m not going thru that again so I was just taking care of them the best I could and figured I’d just give them exxxtra love w the massaging once they were healed. The left on was particularly swollen and tightly hugging the jewelry so I just lubed it tf up in coconut oil one night from behind the ear not thinking that it would actually come out during my sleep(didn’t put rubberbands on ends of plugs) so in the morning there was no way 0 was going back in my right ear so had to go back to 2 which I was sad Bc I didn’t know if 0 would easily go back thru or not once healed enough to try. Been waiting 2 weeks doing the coco oil massaging every other day left ear is doing lovely.. so I went for it. It started bleeding before I was even at peak pain so said fuck it and just pushed it thru. It bled. It hurt. It’s bad I know. But I’m wanting to keep my ears on same track so I want it hurry up and let this heal enough that I can just chill w them and start doing the massages everyday. Once these are healed very well I will also start the taping method so I can be on my way to 00 and so on. I learned my lesson it is a patient process but I’m reading ppl swearing by the taping method so excited to try next time
I unf ordered 22mm instead of 20mm silicone pair to stretch… yeah what 2 stupid mistakes indid =-= my ear is now blowout and swollen -_-
Did u take the gauge out to clean it or did u clean it with the gauge still in there?
She said after cleaning with saline solution she put the tunnels back in so she took them out but I wouldn’t recommend it
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEEEE REPLY !! Did you take out your tunnels while cleaning your ears and using the oil or did you leave them in to do all this??? I just stretched to a six pretty sure I have a blowout and do not want to down size, also what did you clean with?
I would take them out to clean them even if it really hurt taking them out and putting them back in. It's really important you clean inside and not just around it. Use q tips and saline solution to clean them and I would apply vitamin E oil after.
If your ear lobes seem to be getting worse and infected, downsize immediately.
Im dealing with a 3/4" blowout now 😫😫
Dam bro howd it turn out hopefully good
went from 2g to 0g had the worst blowout and it got infected, still recovering
I went from 2g to 1g and even the jump from 1g to 0g was horrible. I had to use the half size between 1 and 0 and that definitely helped. Also, in my experience, blowouts have only made my ears healthier and better with elasticity once they’ve healed.
@@susannahgenevieve1287 yeah for sure everything in between 2 and 00 is scary shit. but my ears have fully healed and i didnt need to downsize :]
@@susannahgenevieve1287 I've had my 1G glass plugs in since June and my ears still aren't ready 😫 where'd you get the half size in between 1g& 0g plugs from??
@@thatssoshay9579 I think either laughing buddha or this other site called like body art form? good luck
i went from 2 to 0 before going to bed said fuck it😂
that neck pain kept me up i had to get up and take 2 advils. in the morning i found i had a minor blowout.. the first of my stretch journey which has been literally about a month and a half, no patience😅
DISCLAIMER: if you stretch your ears the correct way, you will in NO WAY shape or form feel pain or discomfort. The jump from 0g to 00g is a whole 2mm jump. That's why it hurts 🤦♀️ there is 9mm gauge that's between 0 and 00. Or you can use the plumber tape.
@Corerok895 I usually wait about 3 months in between sizing up. However everyones healing process is different. But I would recommend at least 2 months. 💜
Its was probably radiation pain and your lymph nodes swelling to fight infection.
Just went up to 16mm and blew both ears. You should never feel any pain when stretching but everybody body is different. I stretched every month and this time I didn’t take my time. TAKE. YOUR TIME
I went from a 14 to a 0g in 5 weeks
I totally agree why go down a size after all that suffering im at a 8g and one of my ears have a mini blowout im not going down im gonna wait a while let it heal then move up to a 6g
Hows your ears now ??
Yes. How are your ears. I went from 12mm to 14mm and have a small blowout BUT I'm stubborn; I don't want to downsize.
Since this was posted 11 months ago I’m assuming you’ve done the 6g already? How was it for u? The taper went in smoothly for mine but 2 days later a lot of blood when I took the tunnels out to clean em. Now I’m not sure whether or not I should leave the 6s in or downsize
I just stretched my ear to 2g and it kinda hurt but there was no blood n now it only hurts wen I remove the plug can anyone tell me wats up ??? Lol
I think its normal to feel a pinch and some soreness after stretching, If you are experiencing pain, redness, soreness for more than a day or two I would check for any small cuts in the hole of your lobe. Im at a 0g right now in both ears, my right ear never stretches like my left. Always more pain in my right, tighter. This can cause tears in the lobe if you stretch too fast. I would say clean it twice I day like she does hers just to keep out any infection if there is one.
@@furrypuppy14 thx I’ll do that
Yeah that neck pain is crazy huh
Yep
I’m going through the same thing right now honestly. I really don’t want to take my plugs out and it’s starting to get infected and I had severe pain down my neck the first couple of days too. I’m trying to do everything I can to heal it before I give up and downsize. The infection looks better already and I can twist my plug without a problem it’s just the back where the blow out is worse.
Apply some vitamin E. I didnt get an infection but if you have one I would recommend you downsize.. unless you really do think it's getting better, just please make sure you're cleaning it with saline solution every day 😊
EdithNunez P The infection has actually gone away I just still have the blow out pretty bad but I clean it with saline twice every day. Thank you so much tho! This has helped wonders!
Your skin is so thin! Aren't you afraid that your lobes could ripping? (sorry my english 😂)
No, It probably looks thin but it's not haha
Skin is super elastic lol, it just matters on how you take care of it and handle it.
Got my first blowout going from 9/16 to 5/8.
C74E1 omg sage! What did you do to heal it?
Same***
@@gh0stFace13x I let it heal on it's own. Just used the Vitamin E oil like usual. Healed in 2 to 3 days. I should've used the neosporin cream but I didn't think of it at the time
I’m at 40mm and for some reason smaller holes like that gross me the fuck out! 😂😂😂
OMG your adorable I just had a blowout today I took my plugs out cleaned then from the one that blowout and put a smaller tunnel in then what I did it stop bleeding after few mins it stop hurting after i put smaller ones in but it's still swollen kinda swollen is that normal
Yea it'll most likely stay swollen for a couple of days, just make sure to keep cleaning your ear lobes and you should be fine 😊❤
@@EdithNunezP OMG thank u so much for answering back thanku so much was worried for min this not first-time it happend but it's been a min since I stretch So they closed some so I re stretch so one blew out but not the other one so thank u for talking to me help alot sorry for any miss spelling I type fast lol
@@laceylove3630 Thank you for commenting 😊 Glad I could help!
The last time?? Damn how many blow outs did you get? Girl stop forcing, if every two weeks does not work for you, then do every month. Were you even waiting two weeks before sizing up?
Man I thought I was going to get a blow out from a 14g straight into a 00g I’m staying this size there not to big. something light. Didn’t feel like waiting several days or months for my ears to heal I have a different pain tolerance and so far my ears do not hurt, easily to remove already switched into some nice stainless steel plugs and will hopefully size up in a month or a few weeks until I decide. Sea salt solution, disinfect spray on my ears and lobs and Shea butter. Had my ears stretched to 00g for 2 days so far enjoying the look! Old video I know but I seen your video first before others
Square Up omg for future people, don’t ever skip this many sizes in one session 🥴 good for you that it went well, but that’s honestly not healthy bruv 💀💀 MY EARS HURT READING THIS LOL
babygurl__ already at half a inch lol literally stretched the next day after I posted the comment. I’m not one to care or give a fuck about things so I do what a want and my ears look amazing already have some stainless steel tunnels with gems around the circle if that makes sense lol. My eyes died reading your reply 😂. Everyone’s different in how they do their stretched ears :)
babygurl__ funny thing is it wasn’t even a stretch for me more like slip and slide the 00g literally went in like nothing I was hella surprised
Square Up bruhhh. honestly good for you. im at the size after 00g. and i was stretching and when i went to the next size. it was all good and it didn’t hurt. but further into the day for whatever reason it started to reject? ig? so i had to downsize and im kinda sad now :( i wish my ears weren’t like this 😭😂
I went from 14g to 4g, it hurts like a bitch
Your very beautiful ❤️
Wow she has great teeth OO.
