Stretching My Ear's?
Ok so i started a few days go but the thing is when i put contained by the smallest thing i could find and was told be the perfect stretcher for beginners it didn't work like i have researched. My ear started to bleed and i wondered if that was normal because in good health I'm new to it and its only a moment or two bigger than my BCR.
Answer: Anytime you do something that is foreign to your body, your body reacts to it. My brother, my boyfriend as in good health as I stretch my ears. They both have bled, I on the other hand enjoy not. It all depends on how your skin is.
It is safe to do this, my brother have his ears stretched 2 inches wide.
I have go from a very small gage to a larger gage, i used chopsticks to get started and afterwards went from basically nought to a zero gage.
I had some headache like any human would, but it WENT AWAY!
LOL.
So go for it!

what size did you start at?
Try have a hot shower first, dry your ear off, use vaseline or another type of lube of your choice to put on the stretcher (start at about 1.2mm / 16g) slowly put it into your hole and it should simply pop straight in, Don't forgot to wash past its sell-by date the lube after.
If you do all this, it shouldn't bleed.
How long have you have that piercing? Maybe you need to go a smaller step, or go and get the piercing redone slightly larger. don't stretch your ear, that's disgusting.
