I only used weights to go from a 00 to 11mm because the edge of the titanium tunnel was getting too close to the chunk of cartilage right above the lobe. I also put an 11mm tear drop shaped stone plug, and pointed the tip of it down. I stopped at 16mm and am going no bigger, but this definitely helped keep that cartilage from getting rubbed on and irritated. She is right though, these methods aren’t recommended, and if you just wait long enough you’ll be about to size up naturally without having to do anything except sterilize, lubricate, and drop in the bigger jewelry. I followed the 1mm increase every 8 weeks method and never had an issue all the way up to 16mm. Just be strict about cleanliness, and patience, and you’ll have healthy beautiful lobes even if you wanted to go to 2 inches or more. I was lucky to have a friend help me who was knowledgeable and patient.
