How to quick stretch a septum?

I want to stretch my septum to a 2g or 4g and my piercer told me that quick stretching is supposed to hurt less. I know it's unhealthy and I risk a blowout, but I was wondering how long should I wait between stretches? I've been at 10g for about 2 months, then I stretched to 8g about 3 days ago. Should I wait another week or so until going to a 6? Also, my stretches have been rather painless thus far. Is stretching septums really as bad as I hear, or should I just follow the recommended rest periods and deal with scar tissue?

    Is your septum pierced properly through the soft spot? If it is then you can treat it like you're stretching ears - never skip sizes and at this point you should be waiting 2-3 months between stretches...a week isn't long enough.

    If it wasn't pierced properly and it is through cartilage then you'll need to be waiting at least double that between stretches. Stretching isn't a quick process...if you're going to rush through it all you're just going to mess your piercing up.

    Don't do quick stretching and your piercer was in idiot.

    You should stretch properly with a tape and wait a few months between each stretch and do not ever jump sizes.

    Wait at least a month and a half, at the very least. Never stretch quickly. Waiting to stretch will be painless.

    Good luck!
