    Stretching from 0G to 00G

    I am going to stretch my ears from a 0G to a 00G, and I was wondering if there is an alternative way to do it. I dont want to do a 2mm jump, because when I stretched from 2 to 0(i didnt know there was a 1. lol) I had got a tear on both ears. I downsized then i stretched again. I have been at 0 for a while now and I wanna go to a 00 but I dont wanna get a tear again. So is there an alternative way to stretching from a 0 to 00?

    You could tape your way up using PTFE tape one layer at a time

     They have been in for about 5 months or so.

     If your lobes are totally healed then I would start taping. Take it slow though. I just taped from 0g to 00g and it took me about 3 weeks or so to get there. Daily vitamin-e oil massages after a hot shower will help you lobes loosen up too.

     Instead of getting the 10mm  00g, get the 9mm. BAF has a concave taper in 9mm for I think $8. It's pretty gradual too. 

    I find I have a much easier time with 1mm stretches, so I'm opting to take the extra time with two 00 stretches, 1mm each. 

    Or you could tape, like other posters said.

     Like Mindy said 9mm is the way to go. Without that, a 2mm stretch is kinda extreme for such a small size.
