6. Oh, Tyler, seriously. “Slowly” is the only correct answer to this question. Don’t be so precious, Derek’s a perfect gentleman!

7. If someone is seriously going to get put-out by my answer to this question, let me give you a little insight as to why I answered it this way:

   1) “Slowly” is absolutely the only “right” answer, regardless of which of the various methods someone chooses to use.

   2) If the person already has 1″ earlobes, it seems pretty likely they already know a bit about stretching. Maybe they managed to get their lobes to 1″ by pure luck and/or magic and or The Force, but it seems unlikely.

   3) I haven’t tried it, but I’m guessing that little box at the top right of the page, labeled “Search”, might produce the information the person is looking for. Freeing me up to answer other questions that haven’t been asked. Over. And over. And over.

   4) I thought relatively speaking, my answer contained about as much information as the original question. Without knowing more about the person’s lobes, I really couldn’t be more specific than I was.

   5)C’mon…it was kind of funny.

   6)See #1

9. fo shoooo
   also, i always found it better to use electric tape to stretch instead of using tapers..

   do they even sell tapers for 1″?
   hmmm……

10. There are tapers available for sizes up to 1″, and even above. I definitely don’t think those are the best option at that size.

    Also, if using tape, it is really much better to use plumber’s/teflon tape, instead of electrical tape. The adhesive on electrical tape can cause a many people to have an allergic reaction, not to mention the potential for mechanical irritation just from the stickiness of it.

11. i heard bondage tape was better than ptfe for stretching. it supposedly doesn’t dry your holes out like ptfe can. anybody know anything about it?

    ashley doom on June 17th, 2009 at 7:54 am

12. oh! and about taping…. what size should you start taping at to be safe? ive heard anywhere from 6g to 0g. i guess maybe it depends on the elasticity of yer ears… ?

13. I’ve never used bondage tape for my lobes, but my brother did. I’ve always stuck with PTFE, seems to work just fine for me. Whenever I want to go up a a size, I just wrap gradually every night. Actually, I went from 3/4 to 1 1/2 with PTFE, so I started taping then. As for drying out your lobes, it’s never really been a problem with me.

14. iv stretched my ears with bondage tape from like a 2 up to what im at now(and inch and a quarter) its quite comfortable,and better for your ears then ptfe tape.
