Question

What is the best way to care for my stretched ears and what is the point of no return?

Answer 1

I'm guessing you mean gauged ears?

To care for them, warm salt water works wonders in cleaning. Also hydrogen peroxide is another great cleaner. You should clean them about once or twice a day. Don't take your gauges out unless you are changing sizes. If you are trying to get to a certain size, take it slow. When you change a size, leave that size in for about a month. Remember you're stretching your ears, and you want to give them time to heal.

I've heard alot of different numbers thrown around for when your ears don't go back to normal. The main size I've heard is past 00. Everyone is different though, and no matter what size you're at, if you take your gauges out, your ears will most likely shrink up some if not alot.

My ears are at 6's right now, and I would like to go up to 00. I'll be moving up to 4's sometime soon, when I'm not broke..
