proper ear stretching warnings and tips
*Most importantly think before you stretch. Stretching isn't for everyone and
you should always know you want to start or continue. It's easier to make them larger than smaller.
*Ear stretching isn't done over night. The process always starts at the size of an earring and takes about a month to go from one size to another.
*Follow technique. There are a few different ways to stretch but all must be followed correctly. Never insert a larger gauge then you currently wear without actually stretching your ears.
*Every person's ear heals different than another's so there is no certain time between stretching from one size to another. So never stretch unless you know they're properly healed. Over stretching and stretching incorrectly can cause serious injuries to your ear lobes and sometimes permanently scars them.
*Keep your earlobes and plugs clean. Bacteria can grow on piercings easily so always wash your skin and jewelry with anti-bacterial soap to help prevent infections.
* Rub oils on your earlobes. There are several different kinds you can use and some work better for others so try a few. Most common types are emu emu oil, jojoba oil, and vitamin E oil.
