I'm at an 8g and I'm having trouble stretching to an 6g (using tapers) what could I do to make it easier/get to the next size?

    Did you wait about 2-3 weeks in between stretching? If not wait a little longer for them to heal. Other than that, take a really nice hot shower and try stretching them after you come out, apply lube on the taper and massage your ear with the lube as well. NEVER force the stretch, if it hurts too much, let it be and try again in another week.

    Do not force the stretch! You'll blow out and get cat butt. You should check out oils such as Emu Oil. Rubbing that on your ear before stretching is totally magical. Its not that expensive and you can get it at any tattoo/piercing shop. A hot shower is good too. Just be patient :)

    Good luck!
