Ear Stretching: What to do About Thinning Lobes

[@947417]

If I’m at my final size but my lobe is thin, will it continue to thin out or is it going to be fine?

@@947417 if you are at your final size your lobe should not continue to thin. Now you can moisturize and massage your lobes regularly to increase blood flow and promote healthier and thicker tissue. If you do notice thinning downsize and continue to massage, and see your piercer or a medical professional if thinning is severe.

I'm at 9/16" and I don't sleep with my plugs and tunnels in at night, letting my lobes breathe, but only when my lobes are healed. Also, you should never stretch with silicone. Great tips BTW.

Hi! Can I use any of the plier tools on your site to unscrew a nipple piercing ball that's super stubborn and hard to take off?

@@kai-sakilehill6291 it would be better to try rubber or nitrile gloves to get a better grip, or product 42792, which is a threaded end removal tool for balls. If those do not work you may want to consult your piercer for assistance

Does dead-stretching cause the bottom of the lobes to thin? I hear a lot of recommendations for dead-stretching, but it just seems like-- at least to me, someone completely new to this --that it could theoretically just weigh the bottom down rather than evenly stretch...?

@@VRCoryArt slowly and safely dead stretching your lobes will not cause the lobes to thin. Here is a link to a ton of info on stretching that should be helpful: bodyartforms.pulse.ly/v1okg1bxto
