I'm just wondering about peoples opinions on using things other than tapers to stretch a piercing, Such as weights, or layers of teflon or bondage tape on plugs to make the piercing bigger slowly. I was pierced at a 10gauge in october of 2k5. I began stretching in January of 2k6. I was at 7/16ths by April. A bit quick i know. I skipped gauges and all of that terrible stuff. What i'm wondering is whether or not anyone has tried other methods of stretching and whether they worked better or worse than tapers. I have terrible luck with tapers. My last stretch was about 2 months after i got to 00gauge. And i tore my earlobe very badly going from 00-7/16ths so i'm not sure i want to use a taper again.
Think that 5 months is enough time to stretch again?
Should i avoid tapers to prevent a thin spot where it tore?
Are layers of Teflon Tape safe to stretch with (opinions)
