I'm trying to go from a 10g to a 8g but it's not working out too well. I've been at a 10g for at least two months, I don't remember exactly. I've tried twice, once just lubing the taper and trying to stretch and the second time after a shower but neither with any success. I know I should wait to stretch, which is what I'm going to do but I was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem.

How long have you been pierced? At what size were your labrets initially pierced? 

I got them done almost two years ago, they were done with a 14g piercing needle. I've never skipped sizes nor have I ever had trouble stretching them before.

 I randomly do when I get bored but I'll start making it a point to play around with them. Thanks for the help.
