There are a few different methods.

For small sizes, you can just stretch using plugs. This is only for tiny stretches because it could cause tearing with larger gauges.

The most common way is using a taper. You do it after a hot shower and use some sort of lube, then insert the taper. Then you replace the taper with a plug.

For sizes 2ga and up, tapers aren't ideal for stretching and can be very hard to find. So, instead, you add layers of plumber's tape to your plug. You add 2-3 layers each week until you reach the next size.

You could also use weights. Weights aren't ideal because they create uneven holes because they thin out the bottom.

Are rounded ear lobes dominant or recessive?

Whether rounded ear lobes are dominant or recessive depends on the specific genetic variant involved. In general, it is believed that free (unattached) ear lobes are dominant over attached ear lobes. This means that if one parent has free ear lobes and the other parent has attached ear lobes, their offspring are more likely to have free ear lobes.


Are unattached ear lobes better for stretching?

All lobes will stretch the same way. Its just that at larger sizes(1 inch +), attached lobes kinda tilt a little bit. I personally don't like that but hey, to each their own.

How fast can you gauge your ears?

Well that depends on your actual ear lobes. Small ear lobes = low stretch, Large ear lobes = bigger stretch. See you should only stretch loabes one gauge once every 30 days, this allows the tissue to expand safely without tearing the tissue. So it really depends on the sixe of your ear lobes, see a professional body piercer, they will discuss your plan and work out a safe schedule to get you up to the gauge you want.


What helps to stretch your ear lobes?

Bio oil. I have used this for every stretch I have made and it lubricates your ear to make it slide through easily. You may hear that you can use, Vaseline, cooking oil... DO NOT USE VASELINE!! it is a petroleum based product and it will infect your ear (some people may say they have used it and it has worked perfectly fine but I have had a disgusting experience of using the stuff! ) Cooking oil, veg oil... I have never personally used any my self but that is because I am aware that you have got to be careful about what you use. i guess certain ones will be okay but I would advise that you spend a little bit more money on professional Bio oil that is specifically meant to be for skin care e,g stretch marks, scars and more... Good luck :)
