Before you start stretching your earlobes...

The first thing you need to do is determine what size you are currently at for jewelry.

A piercer will generally start your ears off at 16g or 14g. However, it depends on your piercer - so please check.
If you used a piercing gun then it’s likely your lobes are pierced at 20g or 18g.
Clean your newly pierced ear lobes regularly.
Be sure to wait 4–6 months for your new piercing to heal before attempting to stretch.
To properly stretch your ear lobes, you need to go slowly and one size at a time.
Most gauges kits start at 14g and go up to 00g. 14g is the common size to start stretching.
If your ears are at a 20g-18g, then start at a 16g taper & plug size.
Using a gauges kit is the most cost-effective way to stretch your ears.

Here's how to start!

STEP 1

Remove any piercing jewelry in your lobe

STEP 2

2. Clean your piercing site (we suggest using a saline spray)

STEP 3

3. Massage your ear lobes for a few minutes - this helps get your ear ready for the stretch.

STEP 4

4. Add lubricant to your ear lobe (we recommend Jojoba Oil or BodyJ4You ear stretching balm) AND your taper.

STEP 5

5. Take your taper and thread the small end through your ear piercing. (if this hurts more than a pinch/sting STOP - you do not want to tear your lobes).
