Lobe stretching question?

Question

I just bought a taper (smallest size possible)

and I'm ready to stretch.

beforehand I put my earing out of my ear, and i sprayed some aftercare spray in the hole.

But the taper wouldn't go in after a half or a quarter,

should i wait until i have a shower?

any further tips?

Answer 1

You'll need like an 18g taper.

have a hot shower, and use some lube.

Don't just shove it through, your lobe can tear.

Answer 2

No i gauged my ear. Its a pain in the *** to do. Obvious when you are gauging them you are making the whole bigger. So its not going to fit in your ear. you have to push it through with all your strength for it to go through and stretch your ear. It will hurt a tiny bit but itll be fine afterwards. But remember this, when you gauge them bigger and bigger, go up one size at a time and let them heal before makingi t even bigger.

Answer 3

Its a good thing to take a shower so that your ears get more blood flow to them. Next get some jojoba, vitamin e, or emu oil and lube up your taper but not too much. Put the taper in and when you are about to get to the jump take a deep breathe and push it in.

Never stretch more than  once a month and never skip sizes.

If your ears get infected  soak your ears in warm sea salt water. Put 4 teaspoons in a gallon distilled water and it will last you awhile.

Take care of your ears and good luck.
