Earlobe stretching
6 Answers
I want to stretch my earlobes so I can put a plug in - not much tho, only up to 6mm. What I want to know is that if I have to take it out (for a wedding for example or if I change my mind) will the hole gradually return to its normal size? And if it doesnt, will it even be that noticable at 6mm? Thanks in advance!! PS: People who just want to answer to say how gross it is need not answer

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I've just looked on a ruler and 6mm would be rather noticible if it didn't heal over. The hole left would be the same size as the screwhead used in a light switch or plug socket if that helps!! Also when or if the hole healed if may leave a noticible scar instead.
As hectic says think carefully before going ahead.
Back in my younger years I stretched my earlobes to about 8mm.You can take them out in the middle of stretching say for a few days but you need to keep the plug in for a few weeks beforehand. Also as a lubricant I found teetree oil the best. PS I hav'nt had a earplug for about 4 years now but I can still stick a cigarette through my earlobe(great party trick).
If you are looking for information on how to stretch your lobes "correctly" then I can highly recommend that you visit the stretching forum found here:

Everyone is very friendly and helpful, there is also a stretching FAQ that answers the most commonly asked questions.
If done correctly then your lobes will shrink down but everyone is different and some people heal more than others.
I have had a 10mm hole heal down to 2mm in the past and it wont be that noticable at all because when you remove your jewelry it doesn't leave a hole but a slit instead.
Thanks everyone! Youve all been really helpful - I really cant decide - I run my own rockabilly business from home so its not like Id have a problem with jobs, but it seems like a big risk. Also, Im a girl and sometimes I think we can get away with as plugs can look like decorative button earrings(If theyre small!)? Im definately gonna have a long hard think about whether I want to do this. Definately liking that party trick though kjring
