3. Rules of thumb.

Guidelines:
If you are stretching your current piercing, do not stretch too fast, its not a race.
A good rule of thumb is waiting 1 months Minimum between stretches.
Don't skip sizes
Dont use any alcohol based sanitizers (bactine, rubbing alcohol), these kill the cells that are trying to rebuild and thicken your lobe.
Use microbial hand soap to clean your jewelry and ears.
