My piercer taught me this trick.
Cut a piece out of the densest part of the sponge, the size you want to stretch your ears to. soak it in hot water, twist and put in your ear. wake up in the morning and your lobe is stretched.


Haha.

Did you actually try this? Because I highly doubt that it works.

Stretching doesn't work that fast. (Plus, aren't sponges soft? The softness wouldn't do anything to the ear)

Anyways, I'm at 1", probably going bigger.

Got no pictures.

I've never done it personally, but i know people that have.
Note I said the densest part of the sponge.
Of course your not going to go from an 8g to 1'' or anything huge, but it still works for going up a size or two.


hmm. i'm kinda doubting that works. sponges are boo.

I've got an 8g in my left ear, a 10g in the right (I had to downsize because the one ear used to have an 8g plug, but for some reason it swelled up like a b***h and turned really red and sore, bled a little bit too). Plus two other 18g holes in my lobe I'll be stretching to a 10g.

My goal size is 2g, so I don't spend money on fancy plugs, I've just got boring steel ones in there sad

Although I have a pair of gorgeous 10g spirals I bought from BodyArtforms.com that I'll be wearing in my second holes once I've stretched those.


oh man. are they any good to buy from? i've got a wish list of 5/8" plugs that's a mile long. P:

I've never been very fond of ear stretching.
i think it looks kind of gross.
But to each his own, of course.
Little stretching is alright, but some are ridiculous.
I saw a guy with his nose piercings stretched.
gonk


the nostrils or septum?

and yeah, i have my limits too. anything over 2" is a bit ridiculously much, imho.

I have a pair of 9/16" plugs in my first pair of lobes, but because I play with them a lot they're probably actually closer to 11/16" or 3/4" in reality. My second pair of lobes are 2mm and my third pair are 1.6mm, soon to be 2mm as well.
My nostril piercing has been stretched from 1.2mm to 1.8mm and I'm planning on stretching my septum up to 2mm or 3mm. [:

I've got Coconut Wood DF's in them at the moment.

I've also got some Horn DF's with a bone inlay that I wear from time to time.
I've been at 00g for a few years now. I go through cycles of being happy with the size I am already at and wanting to go bigger. Haven't decided what I want to do from here yet. We'll see.

those are KEEN! BAF has some really awesome pieces. *jeluz*
2g lobes, not stretching my other holes yet, might when I get more. yeah, I'm only on my second set of ear holes, and the new ones are only 2 months old so they're still healing.
i used to have 4g but i got sick of them. they smelled bad too. D: and yes, i did clean them. >__>

I love them. The shipping is kinda annoying (10 bucks for 2-3 weeks because I live in Canada sad )
But other than that, they're amazing.

These are the ones I have:

Used to have 3/4" lobes. Infections, etc, now I'm at... 11mm? 7/16? Something like that.
And I am also stretching my triangle. It's at 8g now. =3 I want to go to 4g at least.


Triangle? o rly?

Yah. I have a sparkly UV fluorescent yellow acrylic CBR in now.

    I completely dread that kind of piercing. It's like a big hole in your ear. But that's just me. ^.^
    Anyways, I think it's really interesting that you can have the hole in different sizes.

It IS a big hole in your ear. sweatdrop
