Here's an excerpt from an article about stretching piercings:
"Cartilage: Cartilage is a firm, structural support for the ear and nose. Unlike skin, it does not have its' own blood supply. Cartilage receives almost all of its' blood from the surrounding skin, so stretching cartilage is an extremely slow process. If ear cartilage is stretched too quickly the tissue can become so tight that blood cannot get to the cartilage which can cause necrosis (tissue death). Cartilage can also crack or even shatter like glass. This damage can be irreparable and even dangerous to your health. Slow way down when stretching cartilage, way down...maybe once a year for some. The thicker and more firm the cartilage, the slower you gotta go."
And then there's this article on wiki answers that states that you can't stretch cartilage piercings.
I really think the best way to go is to get it punched though.
Thanks! You're not going to believe this, but the box is from Amazon!!! I've been looking for the perfect jewelry box for YEARS and I found this box and gave it a try. I added balsa wood dividers (the glue is a bit wet in the photos still, the yellow bits will fade). The pumpkins are one of my favorite pairs, they are from Frozenfire on Etsy. He isn't taking custom orders anymore but he is still adding items to his shop, I expect he will add some more pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns around the fall.
Anyone else have good luck with places like Amazon? Or horror stories that will make me run and throw these all away immediately?
Beautiful! 🧡
In my experience, for larger gauges, I have not seen rings of any kind that have less than a 12mm diameter. 😕
If you are interested in a continuous ring, these are good.
dont use tape with adhesive. the tape i use is literally a dollar on amazon and im certain it will last my entire stretching journey
Check out bead storage boxes on Amazon or your local crafts store. I find that this kind of thing does pretty well for smaller sizes, though if I needed to store a lot of jewelry in larger sizes I'd look into the little chests of tiny drawers that are sold for organizing hobby components. I'm a huge fan of one plastic compartment per pair of tunnels/plugs because it guarantees that nothing will jostle anything harder than itself and cause chips or scratches.
I have stretched my septum to 7/16” and have used Jojoba Oil. I’m including a link but I’m not necessarily recommending this exact brand, it does have an eye dropper that makes it easy to apply.
Edit: I like jojoba oil over other things I’ve tried both for how it feels as well as smell.
It's just a cheap ring organizer from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NKY63G8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_tsGbCbJK47BAS
It's not great quality, but it's not bad for the price. Eventually I'd like to make my own foam inserts for an organizer anyway.
I got this on Amazon! I was able to fit multiple pairs of the smaller jewelry in each little square but my hangers and things have to go in their own square. Pretty nice for the price!

As of recently I’ve actually started taking my plugs out to sleep! It’s comfiest in my opinion, but I used to sleep in stone, glass, kaos earskins, etc. Unfortunately, I haven’t found any comfortable glass to sleep in, but I do have a donut pillow that has a whole in the center that I used to put my ear in!

I love BAF, I stopped shopping at Kings because the product never really lived up to the pictures and they always messed up the size
There’s a few sellers selling them so I’m not 100% if these are the exact ones I bought but I think they are. It is amazon though so buy at your own risk lol
I’m in highschool so I still live with my parents lol. I asked for permission before stretching. Everytime I mention it my mom is definitely not happy about it, but I don’t expect her to be. I would say explain to them the point of no return. And if they really have a problem with it, they sell plenty of jewelry that looks like a bigger stud (which I see plenty of people with non stretched ears wearing). That’s my plan for when I get to a bigger size and have to go to events where stretched ears wouldn’t be considered professional. You can also find flesh skin tone plugs.

These are the earrings, I use the two middle sizes but that may depend on your ear or piercing placement.
-what you do I get some chain from an old necklace or a craft store and some small jump rings, you need only two.
-take it into two smaller pieces that span between your two piercings with one slightly longer to drape further down from the other
-attach the two chains to your jump rings (you'll probably need a wire tool for this) and hoop your earrings through the jump rings.
Message me if you would like pictures of the setup out of my ear.

Amazon! Here they are.
A few weeks ago I stretched from 6ga to 4ga and it was easy; I used a taper but I probably could have dead-stretched it because a few days prior I would use the new jewelry as a weight for a couple hours a day and I really didn't intend to stretch to 4g the day I did but when I checked it was so close I went for it and it was easy. I did get the usual sore teeth/referred pain that after about a week subsided for a day then was back again a day later for about another week. For my next stretch (to 2ga) I'm going to try the tape method, but after experiencing a mild blowout at 6ga (I was taking the jewelry out during the day and putting it back in at night and put o-rings too tight on a pincer) I'm going to be patient and give it a few more months before trying to go to 2ga (6.5mm). I also learned after much discomfort to go with a larger diameter ring for the healing period.
After my O-ring experience I am not going to use a tunnel with an O-ring; I came across these on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B2H8HL3 I used one in 4ga for a funeral and will be using one in 2ga as a retainer for contact sports when I stretch again until my septum is happy with a small diameter ring. With the large-diameter 4ga ring I am wearing I already took a hit and am somewhat concerned a blocker might snag my nosering after I size up again. o.O

I’ve bought these for three sizes (pls don’t judge?), they’ve always helped me make that 2mm jump for dfs. Good luck 🙃🙂
I agree that you shouldn’t stretch with acrylic. I’m up to 6g and tried to put an acrylic spiral taper on to gradually stretch to 4g (because holy fuck, it’s big), and I noticed that the acrylic sticks to the hole whole stainless steel does not. Some people might knock it, but I got a set of these. I’m highly allergic to nickel, and have had no issues with these.
Side note: hang on to your other set. You will more than likely need the o-rings. And carry spares with you. Speaking from experience.

Edit: I know you’ll be itching to bump up every couple of weeks, but don’t. It’s not so bad moving up to 6 gauge, but after that you have to be patient. You do not want a blowout, or to rip it.

Cheap compound rubber. The chemicals in it literally caused it to melt! Probably best that this happened, so you aren't putting that crap on your skin.
Just order a big bottle
I’ve been slowly but surely switching out the French hooks on my earrings for leverback clasps, which I wear with silicone tunnels. I would just caution against every day use as I’m sure it would cause uneven weight distribution over time
I use this.
It's got tons of space, takes up almost no room, and I can travel with it if I wanted too.
Oh and for danglers, weights, and bigger pieces I can take out the little dividers to make room for them!
I've been using a similar case for all my watches, jewelry and neclaces/chains; but I'm running out of space. I have this one; https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RQP9V92
One you submitted looks really nice. And honestly that's as austere you can get without sacrificing cushioned storage. Just an acrylic box with padded sections.
I’ve used earring stabilizers in the past. They’re like, clear discs you can put on the earring posts before you put the backs on. It’s kind of an annoying extra step, but it works
https://www.amazon.com/COOEAR-Gauges-Tunnels-Stretchers-Expander/dp/B09BTNGN47 they look like these, i think at least LMFAO.

I'm stretching again tho. I never stopped missing my stretched lobes haha
Etsy has some good options, I have yet to order from them due to not being at my goal size, just search what material you want them to be made of. If you don't have one already buy a caliper to check jewelry size when ordering plugs.
I use these for all sorts of things, including checking size of plugs ... accurate, cheap, have been great:
Buy a single flare 1g plug. Single flare glass plugs Bodyartforms 2g can be 6mm or 6.5mm depending on the jewelry and where e you bought it and on top of that jewelry can vary by .2mm in size, 0g is 8mm. That's 2mm considering it won't stretch I take it is your "bitch ear"? (Always harder to stretch compared to the other one). My suggestion for you is start using millimeters instead of gauge size if you don't already. Also buy a caliper to know the exact size of the jewelry you get
I use this it fit my 1/2” plugs perfectly and I could do without the time logos but it’s alright. Now I’ve stretched up and I don’t currently use anything but I wanna get one of those tackle box things like someone posted here!
I'm in the process of stretching and right from day one i have not been able to have an o-right stay on through a night. Tried doubling up the o-rings, still no luck.
Then I remembered I had some of these around. I cut off the nub and the hole has been able to stretch to accommodate up to the 4mm I am at now:
Have worked like a dream and I have never lost one

I wore these all the time when stretching and they have half sizes. Half sizes are definitely a must because a lot of times those two multimeter jumps will tear your ears/ cause blow outs these aren't too expensive but there's some other good options like urban body jewelry and Arctic buffalo just make sure you get a gauge measurement tool and confirm the sizes on your own with arctic Buffalo. Sorry this was a lot to read but I hope it helps

weights really are all about the size. i always go smaller like 10mm (i’m at 19mm), because it would be so large and seemingly uncomfortable as a weight that big. depending on how much weight you’re wanting, i adore these glass pieces i have you can find them here :)
i think the ones you’re referring to are just black silicones, but they have a weird shadow reflection from the sun unfortunately.
the ones above them though, i got here
but i think they only sell the one size that pops up in those now :( so truly i’m not help lol, i’m sorry
they are silicone, and from amazon so please make sure your ears are healed before use :-)

You need to invest yourself one of these . It makes it really easy to get the segment in and out. I used one on an 8 gauge segment ring just earlier today and it's a piece of cake.
if it's infected, best to either talk to a doctor or clean with sterile saline solution, i recommend this. you can buy it off jewelry websites as well, like urban body jewelry if it's not sold out! pus is not a good sign (obviously), so if it gets really bad, talk to a doctor, for now, i recommend buying the saline solution, you can also use it to clean newer piercings in the future if you get more.

single flare plugs boring but affordable. Digital caliper
In my experience if there's any oil on the tape, plug, or my hands then it won't stick to itself. Make sure the bondage tape is taught the entire way round. I rewrap the plugs, hop in the shower then dry / ear massage for as long as I can stand to before putting them back in. Taping requires a little practice but I was able to tape from an 8g to a 6g after a learning curve. If the tape bunches up at the end and won't go in, there's too much on there. 1-2 wraps is a good place to start when taping.
Genetics and possibly scar tissue may be at play here. I know "Piercing with Scott" recommends mederma to break down scar tissue if that's what's holding you back. There's also this plant based emu oil
Good luck, I wish you loose lobes 👂
I don't see this posted often, and I often forget to mention it, but a fresh stretch is sorta like a fresh piercing. Stretching causes micro tears in the fistula, so it's important to clean twice a day while healing, and once every day. Most people don't clean their piercings every day, but it's really important with stretched ears to do it at least once every two days. You want to take out the plug and clean it when cleaning your ear instead of trying to clean around it to give the ear a chance to breath and air dry, or you'll get wet ear from non porous plugs and porous ones will absorb the oils from your ear causing discoloration to the jewelry and dry out the ear, and they can grow bacteria that will cause irritation. Wet ear isn't bad if you take care of it, letting it sit is when it starts to suffocate the fistula and the skin slumps off leaving a raw ear. Still, not the worst, it will heal, but it will drastically increase healing time. Don't twist the jewelry or play with it while healing. Playing with it is good once it's fully healed however, it promotes elasticity and will make the next stretch a little easier. The stretching game is still pretty young, so if you want to experiment with different balms, oils, and methods, go for it. I've been using this for sanitizing instead of saline, and it's been working pretty well, but I'm not sensitive to essential oils. And taping is fading out of popularity, but it's the only thing that works for me at larger sizes with smaller in between increments. Just try stuff out and see what works for you.
Oh yeah but a caliper like this, to measure your jewelry.

This is what I use, I ordered earlier this year and have covered them in all the stickers I have gotten from my various body jewelry orders, they're plastic organizers with 36 slots per box and comes in a 3 pack, if you can't get them shipped to you, you could try finding something similar at a hobby/craft store, and if that is not avaliable, someone else mentioned fishing/tackle boxes which are pretty similar and sometimes come with bigger organizers, which are also pretty nice and fun to decorate with stickers

Easiest stretch is to just wear silicone. I've gone from my 8mm dermal punch to 22mm using sets like these. The harder silicone ones suck to get in and out, but the soft ones are easy and really make stretching pain free...pop in the 20mm just to make sure you're good to go for a day, then the 22mm should go in and just massage it if it warps a little out of round. You'll be good in a day or two for your regular style in 22mm usually. They are also great if I go a couple days without anything to bring me back up to size.

i’d say the fit true to size but everyone else thinks you should downsize i guess idk. sorry you have to be downvoted for asking.
Here’s a link for a stretching kit I used to get to 1 inch. They’re stainless steel, perfect for stretching. Just don’t use the tapers that come with the kit. Don’t use tapers ever, in case you didn’t know..

It’s an entire kit, I don’t know if you want all those sizes, but a 7g taper is included. What’s really cool is they’re internal threaded, makes stretching soooo much easier
This stuff is great! Also, real jojoba oil should be golden in color, slightly viscous in texture, and slightly nutty in fragrance :)

There's a great oair thru amazon (probably available elsewhere too but I was lazy and wanted them for an event) that is hollow, and filled with red liquid that resembles blood.
