I bought new earrings! I'm only at a four, and they're zeros, but I will get there in a month or so.
Lines:
1 month? That's pretty fast. Don't rush! Your ears will thank you later.
--- Quote from: Onetribe ---How often should I stretch; how long does it take to heal?
Stretching is a very individual activity, and there is no set time frame that will work for everyone. You should only stretch when your ears are completely healed. As a general rule, most people feel that their ears are healed after approximately 1 month. When you feel that your ears are healed, then wait another 2-3 weeks before stretching. A good rule of thumb is one stretch every other month.

Yeah, it took me 5 years to get from 18g to 3/4". And I still got a blow out. Take it easy!
Zingoleb:
Except I've gone from unpierced to fours in about...4 months. And my ears are healing up really fast and really well, and I'm doing this with the help of a professional piercer. I've got really big earlobes that are super receptive to stretching, and the last stretch from a six to a four was after two weeks and I didn't even feel the stretch when she tapered me into the next size.
nekowafer:
Better safe than sorry though, you know? Like I said, I took forever, and I still got a blow out. It's totally up to you of course, it's your body. But taking it slow is always always recommended. And just because a professional piercer says it's okay, doesn't mean it's true.
