so i taped about 3/4 of the way from 2g to 0g

then i tapered it with what little i had to do

i got the 0g tunnel just fine into my left ear

my right ear was being more bitchy, everytime i would try to chase the plug through the taper would pop out(u can actually hear the sound from the suction it has) so the plug wouldnt even be in the fistula b4 the taper gets pushed out.

my left ear(the good one) has nearly perfect circular holes with the earring removed, whereas my right ear has more of an oval  shape, is this normal/ok ?

and back to my right ear, i got frustrated and just put back in my 2g tunnel minus the tape

this is good for the ear right? to fatten up the lobes, stretching then downsizing?

edit:i just added tape back onto my 2g plug, but this time i cant fit my o ring on them anymore, is it ok to wear it with out an o ring, if the tape is snug?

did you use lube or oil before attempting the stretch? it is great to downsize and it should help fatten your ears

 of course i used oil :P

like how exactly does it fatten up lobes?

I don't exactly know, but I think it has something to do with increasing circulation to the ears by releasing the pressure of the bigger sizes and the oil massages help too. I know from experience. I downsized from 5/8" to 9/16" and my lobes are thicker because of it

 and if u were to go back to 5/8th the fatty lobes will still stay?

after my lobes are healed and prior to stretches i do joojoba oil massages often, with those theya ctually feel stretchier than b4 i started doing them

fatter lobes than if I hadn't. although to be honest I haven't had problems with thinning. I'm planning on stretching to 3/4" and I wanted fatty lobes so I downsized
