How to Stretch Your Ears

Ear Stretching Instructions

It's best to relax your ear lobes with hot water or in the shower before stretching. Apply a lubricant such as Holey Butt’r, Gauge Gear, or jojoba oil to the taper. Take a deep breath and slowly insert the taper until the level end is in your hole (this may take a few minutes or a few hours depending on how it feels). Then take the plug and place it against the end of the taper and slowly push the taper through with the plug. Your plug should now be in and you can attach your o-ring/s. The stretching will probably sting, but it should not cause a lot of pain. Wash the area daily with soap and try not to touch it throughout the day to prevent infection.
