Stretching your ear for 'spacers' or 'plugs' is a time consuming development.
You can now buy 'stretchers' from most piercing salons. They look like a spiral that starts small in diameter and gets thicker towards the end of the spiral. The idea with this is to start with stretching your ear with perhaps half a dozen 'sleepers' (round earings) until the hole is big enoguh to start using the stretcher.
Once you have the stretcher on over time you gradually push it further and further down the spiral and it opens the hole up.
If you decide to get BIG spacers remember once they are veyr big they will not shrink back to normal if you change your mind in a couple of years. AND!!! ALWAYS keep them clean. people can smell them if they are unkept.

Ear stretching facts?
Ear stretching hurts. It is also permanant when you go past 9mm, so be completely sure you want to do it. Could you imagine being 80 with a big flappy ear?
