This is what happens when you stretch too soon
This is by no means me trying to romanticize stretching too early. But some have been where I’m at. That itch to get to your goal size or close to it so we look cool. This pic was when I was at maybe 20mm after sizing down from a 30mm
The blowout does not go away. If anything, it made my stretching journey WAYYY harder. Tried the natural stuff like hemorrhoid cream and being naked for a month or so. Daily massages, etc. Though I saw some improvements, it didn’t fix the actual issue. It also made it harder to buy standard size plugs/tunnels because one of my lobes were dipping or eating the jewelry. So that was a huge issue. It costs money to custom make your jewelry, which I’m now stuck doing.
This is more of a visual PSA to newcomers wanting to join the stretching party. Please do your research, learn from others, and don’t be impatient. Basically, don’t be like me. I might have to do surgery to correct my ear, but that’s the price you pay for not doing it right the first time.
