OPEN ME FOR SURPRISES AND FUN :D hello there (: I hope everyone had a safe and wonderful holiday! In this video I am going over some of the basic information involved in stretching your ears for the first time! Below this I am going to post the script I used to go with this video if you'd like to read that and get some more information. EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT STRETCHING YOUR EARS! Ear Stretching / Ear Gauging -The process of stretching one's ear lobes. BEFORE YOU START: ○Ability of ears returning to normal size, cosmetic surery ($300-$1,000) ○What size you want ○No rash desicions ○Parents approval WHAT YOU'LL NEED: ○Pierced ears ○Taper - A tapered off object used to stretch a piercing such as an ear lobe. ○Ear Plugs / Ear Gauges / Ear Tunnels / Ear Spacers - Jewelry that you can wear inside your stretched lobe. ○O-rings - Rubber or silicone rings that holds jewelry in place within your ear lobe. ○Double Flared Ear Plugs - Ear plugs that are flared on both ends. ○Single Flared Ear Plugs - Ear plugs that are only flared on one end. These plugs usually have one O-ring in order to keep the jewelry in place. ○Non Flared Ear Plugs - Ear plugs that are not flared and require two O-rings to stay in place. Most jewelry comes with all O-rings necessary to be worn. METHODS: ○ Ear Stretching with Ear Tapers Highly Recommended (safest) Gradually increase the size of the hole by placing something slightly larger than the hole through it. This can be done easily with tapers. The technique involves lubricating the ear (emu oil or jojoba oil work well -- keep it natural, and don't use an antibiotic ointment!) and pushing the taper through the ear hole, stepping up in size by pushing larger jewelry through parallel to the taper. As with any stretching technique, it's best to work slowly; allow about two weeks. ○Ear Stretching with the Taping Method Recommended Non-stick Teflon tape, which is supposed to be safe for piercings. Wrap a layer of tape around the jewelry and re-insert it into the piercing, gradually adding more tape and increasing the size of the hole. This slow gradual stretch is good for your lobes however it is very hard to keep track of what size you are currently at. SUMMARY: Tips on using ear tapers to stretch your ears 1) Sanitize / Sterilize - Make sure to correctly sanitize or sterilize your ear tapers either by an autoclave, or antibacterial soap as we discussed previously. 2) Prepare your ears for stretching - To decrease the chance of any infection after stretching it's important to clean off the ear lobe of any microorganisms. Before stretching clean the front and back of the earlobe with alcohol pads or other disinfectant solution. 3) Lubricate - If you are using lube for stretching apply lube to the taper and to your ear. 4) Start ear stretching TIPS: Already have ear tapers and looking for some helpful tips? Try these out and see how they work for you: 1) Shower Method: After taking a hot shower your skin should be more relaxed and easier to stretch. Take a hot shower and massage your ear lobes. Right after the shower try using your taper and wiggling the taper in. 2) Do I need to leave my tapers in? After you stretch your ears using a taper you can actually slide in jewelry right behind the taper. This will allow you to remove the taper while pushing a plug in its place. If you choose to do this we suggest for you to put in 316L surgical grade stainless steel jewelry in initially to prevent infection. 3) Ear Lobe Massages - If you can, give your ear lobes gentle massage ... This will increase blood flow to your ears.
