I just wanted to say that I personally get a lot of swelling when I take my plugs out but I’ve found that a warm compress and massaging my ears lobes with warm hands/in the shower and a stretching balm makes the swelling go down rather quickly. Tysmm for the video!
It’s also prob more important if you wear a lot of heavy plugs light stone. Another option both for giving your ears some rest and to not lose them it’s wearing wood! It’s both lightweight, breathable and gives a little bit of friction (no splinterdanger tho they just need oil to pop in smoothly😊 and try not to shower with them too often *for all the starters*). But I’m at a «smaller» size, 11/16, so idk how it is for bigger sizes.. Anyway, great videos, super informative and helpful! 🙏
i’m at 5/8ths in one ear and 3/4ths in the other currently working up to an inch, i leave my plugs out every day for thirty minutes to an hour and i’m well able to keep stretching every couple months! thinning is my biggest fear but having naked time really puts my mind at ease that they just might be okay lol
Also a tip for people who want to naked train for longer then just the night, I really like the saddle spreaders from diablo because even if you order your size, for me they have been a little smaller then normal plugs. They are light and comfortable and perfect to give your ears some rest while also having jewelry in.
Great video, I started sleeping with naked lobes last week and so far it's working really well, I was wondering why my lobes got so thick in the morning, at first I thought it was an irritation or something haha, good to know it's just them being happy
Thank you for this video! I’m at my goal size of 1 inch and I always wore some sort of jewelry in except when I sleep because I find it uncomfortable wearing them. But I noticed when I wear them out for a couple of days they shrink a tinyyy bit and I have to like massage my lobes for a few minutes and then they go back in. There’s no redness or tearing when I do this because I’ve been at this size for a while but I just want to sometimes not wear plugs and I felt like I could never do this. So thanks so much for this video it was really helpful :)
This is very helpful information! I learned new things and some things were very re-assuring for me to hear. I didn't know I was actually doing naked training, I thought I was giving them a rest so learning the new term is very helpful. I find I can take my plugs and even my septum ring out for many days without my size shrinking or my piercing hole closing. I'm at 9/16 right now. I've been at an inch and I've downsized. I would say when I was at a 2 (the small taper size) that's when my holes closed up the easiest and was the most painful. My ears seem to just settle on the 9/16 size and it seems to work for me. I also like to use glass plugs because I'm sensitive to a lot of metals. It took years of trial and error to figure out my ears and how to make things work lol but I'm very happy with my size now and I'm not in any pain. I find when I shower and wash my ears and plugs, when I get out of the shower I gently pat towel dry them, and then I use the No. 7 face serum from wallgreens and put that on my ears (works miracles before bed) and it seems to make my ears more elastic when I wake up. Sometimes I even use a moisturizer like Neutrogena oil free hydro boost water gel lotion on my ears after the no 7 face serum and then go to sleep to help hydrate and sooth my ear. It's very nice. There's something about the no. 7 serum that really helps maintain my plug size for me without pain. Thanks for making this video!
Such a great video. I am just about to start this training. Question. My goal size is 1/2mm. I have stretched up to 13mm so i can wear doible flare jewelry. However, some of the 1/2 double flares are smaller and some are bigger. Will naked training give me the elasticity needed to wear the bigger sized 1/2 double flares, while still being able to wear the smaller size? Or should i stop stretching and just find smaller jewelry Thanks in advance you rule!
This is really good info! I definitely learned something new and that is refreshing. I'm at 5/8 and want to get to an inch. Currently just wearing silicon, raven skull hangers, and a stone pair. I haven't been sure if i should buy 17mm next or just go to 18mm but was going to get the flass single flared. 🤔 I do leave my plugs out some times so i know now it's just maintaining the size. Thanks for the info. 💜💜💜
I guess I'm just one of the lucky ones 😅 I've gotten super into safe stretching and I've been into naked training. I've made it safely from 14mm-21mm. After about a week I can sleep without plugs all night. This is great info though!
I'm at 40mm. I usually stick in inch size tunnels, for an hour or so (I generally don't where overnight) for the early morning before i go to my actual size.
My ears have been at the same size for probably ten years. And I get “wet ear” alllllllll the time. I have very oily skin. I’ve switched to using kaos silicone plugs and that kinda seems to help. But I still get irritation pretty frequently
You should also try wood jewelry (or maybe even bone or horn)! It can be a bit more dry because of how porous which can probably counteract the oily-ness a bit
glad I got this recommended i’m at 30mm and i have always slept in plugs but over the years i’ve noticed that the bigger the size the more uncomfortable it is for me to sleep and rest on my lobes gonna start training asap
just wanna add in - in all my years of stretching (7 years) I’ve always given my lobes time to rest out of my plugs during the day because i was sketch of shrinkage in my sleep since my lobes are only capable of maintaining its size for 5-6 hours before i feel tightness
Just what I needed after my plug hit my barber in the face 🤣 Any chance of a deep dive into septum (or anything) stacking? You blog on it is literally the only resource on the Web lol.
I know with mine, I have to really make sure mine are clean or I get little open wounds on to bottom of my lobe, especially with silicone. I love to have a shower at least once a month where all 17 of my piercings come out so everyone gets super clean, usually about a half hour - 45 min. I’m at 3/4” right now, and I know I can’t get too much bigger since I was an impatient teenager, but I have room to go up to 13/16”, and I have some 7/8” plugs
I didn’t know this was a thing! I’ve been sleeping without jewelry for years bc it’s more comfortable for sleeping and I like how my ears felt after sleeping without them!
Great info! I was wondering about maintaining the size just recently. One question, I have decided to stretch but I only want to go to 0-00g. Do the places you purchase plugs make them that small?
I didnt know this was a thing until now. I never wore my jewelry unless i was waiting for my ears to heal or when i leave my house. I treated my plugs and tunnels like normal jewelry and only wore them out, and kept them "naked" at home and overnight without them shrinking 😂😂
I stretched to 1 inch 2 years ago, let them close for a another year, they only went down to 5/8s.. started stretching this year im at 23mm and going to 25mm again. BUT I think im going to set my goal at 32mm..
No because that is in cartilage and it’s a totally different beast. I know a few folks who have attempted this for septums and mostly just lost size and caused irritation.
I have had me ears stretched for a little over a year and I still can't leave my gages out. I have enough time to take them out and clean them and putting in a gage. When I do put them back in they are puffy and the gage don't want to go in. HELP
Hey! Found your vid through reddit! Im at 12 mm for about two or three years now and pretty happy with it. I feel like maybe in a year or two I MAY want to stretch up more. At most to 1 inch if I do. Would naked training now be okay?
Hi, I just found your channel the other day & am learning a lot about how to keep my earlobes happy! I'm wondering though how to give my ears a break & do naked training if I'm wearing captive ball rings? I haven't started stretching my ears yet but all I really want is to wear about 4-6mm thick cbr's. but they're too much of a hassle to take off every night & put back in every morning. is this not really something I'd have to worry about at that size? or would it be enough to just take them out once a week? Thanks so much, I love your channel! as a fellow nonbinary trans person, I just really love how gender affirming body mods can be 😌🖤
Hey I have a question so I recently started stretching my ears about a month and a half ago. I’m now at a 8 gauge but I think I blow out both my ears (only sure about one not really sure about the other). Is it possible for my ears to fully heal from them if I take out the plugs and leave them be??
Does this help with thinning? i've never had an issue with it until my last stretch to 22 mm. i'm still stretching properly but have noticed the bottom of my lobes look a little thinner than i like when i take out my tunnels to clean and massage
Some people claim this and downsizing and restretching help. There’s no real conclusive evidence to support this, but I will say I’ve seen it work for some, and seen it do nothing for others.
My ears must be scarred or something cuz I don’t really ever keep jewelry out for long periods of time and I’m still at 00g. (have been for like a year). Kinda sucks.
I’m at 1 inch my right tho it might be two sizes to big and I don’t want to be bigger so should I just let breath out I’m always tugging on my ears and when I’m the shower I take them out to clean because of ear cheese and but also my do shrink fast so I’m afraid my ears will shrink if I’m sleeping over night and I’m re stretching my right ear I just want to be able to stay at a 1 inch I did had blowouts in the past but they look completely fine and thick at 1 inch I would appreciate if you can tell me what to do or if naked training would be good idea
Explain why I’m sitting here watching this and my loves are 3/4 and i wanna go to and inch later and she JUST used that as an example like ok, i got the message
I just wanted to say that I personally get a lot of swelling when I take my plugs out but I’ve found that a warm compress and massaging my ears lobes with warm hands/in the shower and a stretching balm makes the swelling go down rather quickly. Tysmm for the video!
My swell too over night!

Thank you for this! I am 2mm from my goal size and realized the other day I had no idea how to maintain size. This helps a ton!
I've been dealing with being 6mm and 4mm for quite some time and it's nice to have this video as a refresher

your videos are always so informative!! i love how you explain things, and you look so cool!! :D
U did it again great informative video for the beginners and for the ones that been in the stretching game for a long time!!!

Any chance of a deep dive into septum (or anything) stacking? You blog on it is literally the only resource on the Web lol.
I’m planning one sometime this summer!
Not lobes but I can keep my septum stack that holds 5 rings out for a 5 days and it won’t loose size wish their was a septum stack retainer tho
I know with mine, I have to really make sure mine are clean or I get little open wounds on to bottom of my lobe, especially with silicone.

Great info! I was wondering about maintaining the size just recently. One question, I have decided to stretch but I only want to go to 0-00g. Do the places you purchase plugs make them that small?
They totally do! 00g is a super popular stopping size.

Can you make a video about your tongue stretching…I really wanna stretch mine and don’t know exactly where to start
You will be happy to know I’m planning to in the coming weeks!
It's possible the plugs your wearing are not heavy enough.Try stone or glass ones
Do you think I could naked train my ears if I got them scalpelled from 14g to 12mm?
could you do a video on thin spots?
@@kyranjones8568 if you go on videos and press popular and scroll for a second or two there’s a video from a year ago!
Can we apply this other piercings like stretched septums ?
No because that is in cartilage and it’s a totally different beast. I know a few folks who have attempted this for septums and mostly just lost size and caused irritation.
I have had me ears stretched for a little over a year and I still can't leave my gages out. I have enough time to take them out and clean them and putting in a gage. When I do put them back in they are puffy and the gage don't want to go in. HELP
Great stuff as always. Can you make a septum stretching video or a high nostril piercing video?
Hey! Found your vid through reddit! Im at 12 mm for about two or three years now and pretty happy with it. I feel like maybe in a year or two I MAY want to stretch up more. At most to 1 inch if I do. Would naked training now be okay?
Yeah lmao
Please do one on ear weights during the stretching process and during maintaining their size 😊

At that size you are fine to leave them in. Naked training is more relevant at larger sizes!
@@Lynn_Loheide awesome, thanks!

No unfortunately it will mostly cause size loss and irritation. :(
My ears must be scarred or something cuz I don’t really ever keep jewelry out for long periods of time and I’m still at 00g. (have been for like a year). Kinda sucks.

like ok, i got the message
I’m at 1 3/8 I look forward to taking my plugs out it’s like taking your bra off at the end of the day and the blood flow makes them thick and plump
Taking them out after a long day is the best feeling.
Just curious when this video was made, I see you have third eye jewelry in
I pre film a few weeks in advance so you’ll still see my forehead anchor for a while!
