the average wait time between stretching is 2-3 weeks. but just to be sure, take your earing out, if it's still reddish and irritated to touch/take out. you're not ready.

Should your ears burn for a long time when stretching them?
NEVER! If your ears are burning for any extended period of time SIZE BACK DOWN! Before you do serious damage to your lobes. When it burns like that, it means that you aren't ready to size up yet, and have possibly ripped your lobe too far.
I am 11 so what size should i start stretching my ears?
Generally, a regular ear lobe piercing is an 18 or 20 gauge, so the first size taper you should get would be a 16 gauge. Ask your parents before stretching your ears.
Is it safe to stretch your ears when you have a blowout why or why not?
No. If you stretch with a blowout it will only get worse. Blowouts can get big, nasty, and painful. If they get big enough, they'll prevent you from stretching. Not to mention that they just look disgusting and other serious stretchers will know that you don't take care of your ears like you should. Just downsize a size or two, get your ear back to normal, and take your time stretching back up.
How small are goose ears?
Gooses, or geese, don't have ears. They have small slots that the hear out of on the side of their head. The size truly depends on the size of the goose. I know that Canadian geese have "ears" a centimeter or two in diameter.
What size comes after inch and half ear gauging?
First of all, to gauge something is to measure it. You are STRETCHING your ears, not GAUGING them. The next size is 1 9/16", then 1 5/8", then 1 3/4"
What is the biggest size you can gauge your ears?

How do you stretch your ears without a taper?
First I applaud you for not wanting to use tapers. They are primitive stretching tools that cause damage to the inner fistula due to the fact that you are trying to overstretch, and can then tear or even completely split your lobe if you don't know what you are doing. Also, to use tapers takes away from the spirit and the whole intent of stretching your ears which is to be done slowly over the span of a life as opposed to walking into a piercing studio and requesting that your 00 Gauge ears be upgraded to around an 1 ½" usually by way of a scalpel or a dermal punch. The best method to use is what is known as "tape wraps" wherein you will stretch your ears to an adequate size of around a 00 Gauge of which you will wear a plug in your ear of this size. You will then let this piercing heal adequately and then start to wrap just a few layers of tape around the plug about once a month. This will let your ears slowly adapt to the new size and you will be doing it by millimeters at a time which will be completely painless and problematic if you are doing it correctly. If your ears hurt at all when you are stretching them, they're simply not ready. Also to stretch your ears like this very much so minimizes the chances of "blowouts" on the back of the ear, in where the skin of the back side of the ear stretched around the plug will look puckered and bulbous as well as it prevents thinning the bottom of your lobe from stretching too fast, which makes the stretching an obvious rushed affair from someone not really committed to it. Depending on how big that you want to go, I always advise that you pierce your ears just below the shell of cartilage above the lobe. When you stretch, the skin of the lobe is pushed downwards, so the bigger you want to go, the higher the initial piercing has to be. The best tape to use by far is PTFE tape, which is usually sold to and referred to as "bondage tape". This is very good to use since it has NO adhesive to it whatsoever, but rather sticks only to itself and can be used over and over. The next best thing to use to this is Teflon tape.
After days of stretching earlobe to a different size The whole earlobe is slightly purple?
no it shouldn't be Stretch down a size and wait a few weeks until you stretch up again. Some people's ears turn purple instead of red when irritated but if that isn't normal for you, downsize.
Why did your ears bleed when you took your gauges out?
you ears were not fully healed. When you go up a size, for example 8g to 6g, you should not clean your ears until 5days to at least week. Use alcohol, then put organic tea tree oil on your lobes (this will help your ears heal faster because it is an antiseptic). then wait about another week or two to go up a size, or when you think your ears are ready (the inside is no longer red or swelling has gone down) so that they dont pop. good luck :-)

Do you really have to wait a month when stretching your ears?
Yes you should wait that long, tissue stretching takes time, too fast and you have a bleeding mess to deal with and piercings that wont go back down when you change your mind. I find it best to increase a size once I've rubbed my ear with lotion or taken a hot shower. It's not as painful.
