stretching holes in earlobes...how?

I have some earrings I want to wear but the holes in my ears are too small, is there a easy way I can make them bigger?

Update:

the thing is, all the earings seem to be the same thickness, where do I find ones that are thicker. The earring that i want to wear are actualy horse shoe ( I think thats what they are called) for eye brow peiceings, but i want to wear them in my ears

    Buy some tapers. And some lube.

    Do you know what gauge you are now, and what the earrings are?

    Or just go to a proper piercing studio, and they can easily do it for you. Its pretty cheap, and oh-so much easier if you don't intend to keep stretching.

    Seriously, go to the piercers.

    They're normally pretty helpful. And almost definately won't charge unless they use a taper.

    You could:

    ask a piercing place to put the earings in for you

    i know it sounds silly but if you do it u may repierce a different part of skin and it will hurt!

    or risk it and put them in yourself, try a slightly bigger earing then the original then a bigger and keep getting slightly bigger until the holes are big enough for the pair u want to wear!

    (first suggestion is quicker)

    Put in an earring that fits and wear it for a while, each time wear one which is slightly larger.

    Source(s): People with tunnel earrings like this http://images.absoluteastronomy.com/images/encyclo... increse the size of the earring each time so that the tunnel fits.

    Slowly put larger and larger earrings and the holes will stretch over time.

    what you should do is put some slick subtance (lube ect.) and then put it on the ends of your earring then put it through your ear. or go up by sizes. i may recommend dont gauge cartalige. it REALLY hurts.

    have fun
