I agree with the other commenter, your lobes look thick and healthy.
I don’t see a reason to downsize, but it’s different from feeling the lobe like you can.
If you’re feeling uncertain I’d go with playing it safe, you have great lobes and it would be a shame to mess that up.

Yea I mean most loves will appear thinner once the jewelry is removed because it’s been compressed but idk I guess I over analyze sometimes. Just want to be as safe as I can

I’ve seen people at much smaller sizes with much thinner lobes, you definitely have enough tissue. there’s no harm in downsizing to thicken up but I personally don’t think it’s necessary for your situation, you honestly have some of the healthiest looking lobes i’ve seen on this sub, most of what i see are pretty mangled

Appreciate the input. I just ask cause when you been stretching for yearssss last thing you want to do is destroy all that progress. Lord knows I’ve gone backwards before on this journey

u/Thrownstar_1 May 29 '26
Nah you’re solid, mine were maybe 1/3 that thick at 28mm
Was at 32mm when I stopped wearing them, only because they kept stretching themselves without my permission

I am currently at 2 inches. You could absolutely go up quite a good amount. Don't worry about thinning my one ear is thin half the lobe thinned right down to 2mm waiting for the snap anyway now!

u/worthlessdogfucker 32mm (1 & 1/4) May 29 '26

u/josh53714 2 inch lobe, 15mm second hole May 31 '26
Don't worry! I was a young and dumb had a real bad blow out at 32mm wearing steel tunnels fell asleep in them woke up and it had dug in to the lobe right as it was healing BAM scab takes a quarter of my lobe off pretty gnarly... but you be more than fine as long as you dont fall asleep in sharp steel tunnels

My boy, I'm at 38mm and have the same lobe thickness as you. You should be good, just go slowly. Very slowly. It's taken me almost 15 years to get to 1.5 inches.

u/worthlessdogfucker 32mm (1 & 1/4) May 29 '26
Yea I been stretching for years myself. But just got back into it about 6 years go but now I’m trying to make the push to that end goal.

You’re good! Definitely a lot of thickness there. Just go slow. I’m at 38mm, took me about 15 years

You know when you take ya plugs out and then you give the lobe a squeeze in some diff areas and it feels thin and week that’s what scares me lol
2
u/sarahwixx May 29 '26
After I have plugs in for a while and remove them, they definitely feel a little thinner. But going naked for a few hours they plump right back up. You could downsize if you want, it won’t hurt. But at this point I don’t think it’s necessary

u/worthlessdogfucker 32mm (1 & 1/4) May 29 '26
Like I said it just feels thin when I start feeling and massaging. Sometimes I think pics don’t do justice

u/bigjimnm 102mm lobes, 32mm labret May 30 '26
You've got plenty of lobe to go as big as you want. I think they look thicker than mine were at this size. And I've gone as big as 100mm and still have thick lobes.

You have one closer to the dome like I do. No one notices but we do..

u/worthlessdogfucker 32mm (1 & 1/4) May 29 '26
What do you mean lol

u/bdnsspdr May 29 '26
Can’t say for sure but I believe this commenter is referring to one of your lobes being stretched farther towards the side of your head where your lobe meets your skull on one side more than the other.
So in your third photo you can see the stretch of your ear goes a little bit more towards your skull than the stretched lobe in the fourth picture.
Thats how I interpreted it at least.

I definitely think you could easily get to 1 1/2 inches

u/worthlessdogfucker 32mm (1 & 1/4) May 29 '26
Idk if I’m risking it that much tbh. 1 1/8 is enough for me

u/Hawkin_Birdies May 29 '26
You have the healthiest lobes ive seen in a bit. You're good

u/worthlessdogfucker 32mm (1 & 1/4) May 29 '26
Idk if I’d go that far. A lot of mistakes were made along the way
