I have heard that keeping the tapers in for a long while will cause the stretching to be uneven so I went immediately to my plugs once the taper goes through. I'm in no way shape or form an expert though. I just started my stretching journey as well :)
^ totally does at larger sizes, people say anything below an 8g is ok to keep in for a few days, but the thought always freaked me out so I never kept mine in. I have had a plethora of problems on my stretching journey but thankfully uneven holes are not one of them. Lol
+Mewesical It depends, doesn't it? Using tapers to insert jewellery of the next size up is usually fine, and it means only keeping the tapers in your ears for between 2 and 60 minutes. It's the gradual tapering method that's dangerous, where the taper is kept in for a long time and slowly inserted further into the ear over time, because it often spans several gauges in the length of a single taper. That's what I heard, anyway.
Just did mine today!! 😄 I'm 13 do u think that's to young to do it? I'm not into alternative that much I'm actually a metalhead but I think gauges look cool
It will sting a little bit each time you stretch, however, it shouldn't ever hurt more than that and if you ever find yourself forcing the taper through, downsize immediately as it means your ear isn't ready to stretch yet :) happy stretching!
Stretching should NEVER hurt. If your ears are ready the jewelry will go in. She's basically doing absolutely everything wrong! Never use or especially wear tapers. Especially to bed! Vaseline is the number one no no. Tea tree is drying, she should be using jojoba or vitamin e or emu oil for stretching. Seriously do not follow her directions dear god she's not even wearing gloves I'm dying here
+Jessica Barnes i went from nothing (not even a piercing) to a 0g in one night i pierced them close to the head and used knitting needles to go up didnt hurt a bit for two days they felt numb and throbbed but that went away if you stretch your ears dont get a regular ear piercing and go up go close to the cartilage but not in it
enjoy thinning at 0g+ if you piece your ears for regular studs and go up youll have to stop at 0s for at least a year if you pierce your ears closer to the head than normally its better
+memelord anakie I had my ears pierced when i was 6 and ive been stretching since i was 13 (Ill be 15 in two months) but my ears are really thick, but i would have pierced them higher up on the lobe so it wouldnt be thin at the bottoms or sides (Im at 12mm)
I've been stretching mine for a while now and I'm at a 8g. I'm just gonna say wait a full month before sizing up. your ears will thank you. and acrylic is a no no. and another tip is to get the stretching balm. it's super good for your ears and it doesn't keep air from like your ear. idk how to explain it but that's all I'm going to say cause I'm still a newb! nice video and I'm subscribing!
nono definitely do it gradually, if you try to stretch too drastically, it can really mess up your ears, so if your going to do it, be safe about it :)
please don't use vaseline next time...it is really not recommended. tea tree oil is good to use on the tapers to make them a bit more slidey. also please don't wear tapers as jewlery, they're not meant for that and can make the experience worse. just put the plug in and it will be much better and your ears are going to stretch evenly.
Angelos Kouratzinos "please don't use tapers as jewelry" I do it anyways and my ears are perfectly fine. Everyone that gaged their ears that I know do it all the time too. Like, I don't know anyone that had any problems with tapers
I use tapers bc i lost my plugs and i dont wanna go through the whole stretching process again but i got a whole kit that comes with plugs that go up to 00g so ill start using them when i get the kit
I got my ears pierced with a gun when I was 7 and now I'm 11 , and they sting so I need to treat it, they didn't clean the gun or anything so it hurt a bit.
Lydia C honestly, I think it's only bad to pierce cartilage with a gun because it shatters your cartilage and creates a keloid. As for a normal piercing, I don't think I've ever heard any horror stories about it.
Not to be rude or anything, but Vaseline is completely fine. I have used Vaseline for all my stretches and my ears are still healthy, thick and doing fine. It just depends on experience and how your body wants to react to it
My parents said no for any body mods...so I asked for a debit account. I can buy whatever equipment now lol. Currently I have stretched ears and I've done a bunch of other piercings on myself.
+pepe wentz omg thank u so so much, i dont even mean to make jokes like that they just sort of happen and i love ur user like legit, once in school i made a cape for no reason and drew pepe wentz i love it 😂
I'm currently stretching my ears.... I wonder how big I can get before my dad notices and disowns me
Grell Sutcliff probably a 0g

Tapers shouldn't be used at all for safe stretching

Summer Anne everyone I know used tapers and they even left them in sometimes. Nothing bad has ever happened.
Stretching will always be uneven unless you get scalpeled and even then sometimes take it from someone who took 16 years to carefully get to an inch
Don't use tea tree oil undiluted!!!! It is very harsh on the skin.
Just did mine today!! 😄 I'm 13 do u think that's to young to do it? I'm not into alternative that much I'm actually a metalhead but I think gauges look cool
i dont think that my opinion on your age should matter really, i think it should be your decision and what makes you happy, not anyone elses :)
WogEscobar I'm 13, I have a 6g stretch, it's perfectly fine (just hide it from school)
LilGooni I'm 13 and I'm stretching my ears
LilGooni fucking hell bit young
LilGooni yes to young
the left ear always hurts the most
stokleyyy Mooreee yup mine did
for me it was my right ear , im at 4mm now
I dont really like stretch ears....but here I am streching my ears.
I'm thinking about stretching how bad does it hurt
+Jessica Barnes the first stretch isn't bad at all, it's just like a little stinging sensation but it should go after 10-30 minutes :0
It will sting a little bit each time you stretch, however, it shouldn't ever hurt more than that and if you ever find yourself forcing the taper through, downsize immediately as it means your ear isn't ready to stretch yet :) happy stretching!

go close to the cartilage but not in it
barely

Hey...so I am thinking about stretching and i want to go to a 6...should i just go to it at first?? I don't know, can you help?
nono definitely do it gradually, if you try to stretch too drastically, it can really mess up your ears, so if your going to do it, be safe about it :)
Thx you really Helped!

Thank you for the advise !! I usually wear the tapers for a half hour/hour to let my ears cool down and i hope you have a good day !!

Currently stretching my ears behind my moms back my friend got me the lube and tapers and plugs so how long before she noticed do y’all think
i got my ears pierced with a gun and i fail to see the problem. why are my ear piercings bad just because they were pierced by a gun??
Lydia C honestly, I think it's only bad to pierce cartilage with a gun because it shatters your cartilage and creates a keloid. As for a normal piercing, I don't think I've ever heard any horror stories about it.
The guns can't be properly sterilized and its a blunt force
@@crimsonhare To add onto that, the jewellery isn't long enough and doesn't allow for swelling that comes after a piercing.
maybe a little too dark foundation
Its the palest foundation they sell lmao
Dude, let her
