Thank you for the advise, i have no patience but i think the pain is a sign i should stop. I have always used electrical tape did not know it was toxic but now i know.

Thanks again.

Stetching your ears will teach you patience.

Whether you choose the easy way or the hard way is up to you....

Yes, pain means STOP!

PTFE can be drying, and is hard to wrap evenly, which can add up to irritation.

Carefully wrap it and change it regularly if that's what you're using.

Or use bondage tape, which is much better imho.

hey guys, new to stretching but i have a question.

ive used acrylic to go from 14-12 and just went to 10 this past friday but i used ss. i have everything to go to 00 but its acrylic so i just bought ss single flare tunnels in all the sizes as well.

question is, will it be ok to initially stretch with acrylic and swap out for the tunnels? if so how long should i wait to swap from the tapers?

EDIT: and yes i read every single post of the 32 pages haha
