    7/16ths to 1/2inch

    Locked Reply Contact

    its been three weeks now that i've had 7/16ths, my ears are totally healed and stretchy. I got some silicone half in hollow plugs and i'm thinking about just folding them up, putting them in my ears, and letting the silicone do the stretching for me. Is this a good thing to do?

    Silicone shoudl only be used with TONS of time between stretches with tons of lube and you have to knwo how your body reacts to it, not to mention 3 weeks isnt very long... You only have one set of ears why ruin them...

    oh i know three weeks isn't long, i was planning on waiting a couple more months my ears have never been blown out and they never have bled or anything, i don't even have cat butt at all. i've used silicone going from 00 to 7/16ths just because the size gap wasn't much at all, and my ears seemed to do good with that. but going to half inch seems like a pretty big difference. what would you say the easiest way would be for me aquiring half inch?

     just buy a cheap set of tapers to your desired size and use those

    i'd use single or no flare steel plugs till they heal

    if you are going to stretch from7/16 to 1/2 just wait a little longer, 12mm jewelry in my opinion is so lame. nothing interesting jewelry wise. and everyone asks what size your at and you say 12mm they go whats that? then you have to explain its the size in between 7\16 and 1\2.  so obviously there is more variety in 1/2 jewelry.

    Do not base stretching off of jewelry options. Seriously. Do not skip sizes just because a certain size has "lame" options. Please do not tell others to do that.

    he said he wanted to do the basically normal stretch from 7/16 to 1/2. most people do 7/16 to 1/2. i didnt say anywhere he should skip a size. all i implied was that jewelry options in 12mm are close to scarce.

    12mm isn't his goal size so what does it matter? A few months with "scarce" jewelry options isn't a big deal.
