labret stretching help

k so ive browsed the first 10 pages of this forum and i've found nothing on this subject. i got my labret pierced about a year and a half ago at a 16 gauge and i stretched it to a 14 gauge. now i want to stretch up to between a 6 and 4 gauge but i can't find 12 gauge flatbacks. everytime i've seen stretched labrets it's always been a larger size so im not really sure where to find 12-8 gauge flatbacks or plugs.

also, if anyone has done this can you offer advice? i have every taper from 14-00 but only plugs intended for lobes. i know how to stretch lobes properly but im not sure how similar to lip stretching it is.:cheers2:

thanks in advance for the help

 

k thnx

 

I would believe its like an ear lobe. its just stretching out skin to the desired width. just keep stretching till your happy.

 

you just earned at least 10 coolness points.

i had mine stretched to 8g a couple years back so i can tell you w.e you need to know

first of all, labrets are crazy stretchy (mine is at least). it would self stretch in a week, though its probably not a good idea to put the next size of jewelry in till, yknow a month or two. so i never had to use a taper, just dead stretched (or rather didnt stretch at all b/c it stretched itself).

as for jewelry, this is totally what you want: https://www.bodyartforms.com/productdetails.asp?ProductID=1355
i had one in 12g, sooo freakin comfy.

 

thanks SL for the suggestions. i tried to stretch with a taper just to see how it felt and it hurt like a mofo, so ive been tugging at it for about two weeks to get it loose enough so that its not so painful i can't stand it. imma order some of those and post the results.(i always order BAF but didn't find this in my search wow) thanks again
