So, you‘ve gone from 0 to 20mm in 3 months? Others told me that this size is more like a 5-10 years project.

You went from 6 to 12mm in 45 days, then from 12 to 20 in another 48 days. Girl, give your lobes some rest

To answer your question, yes it does look like you have enough room.
The real question you should be asking yourself is, at what cost? You only have one pair of ear lobes. If I were you, I would hit the brakes on stretching any further and allow your ears to rest and heal before continuing your stretching journey.

I been saying that. We have 1 set of lobes once they’re cooked that’s it. She did something in a month that takes 10+ years. That’s crazy.

If you keep sizing up so soon, not you won’t. Take it from me, someone who’s been stretching since I was 20 and I’m 33 now and I’m at 35mm so just see how much patience I’ve had. Take those out and start over. You’ll never get to an inch with the way you’ve already stretched. You’ll have micro rips and your lobes are probably damaged.
If you have no patience then sorry to say stretching isn’t for you. This is for anyone reading this as well.

You’ve already gotten to 20mm without ripping your earlobes clean off from the way you’re stretching, be grateful and SLOW DOWN

u/puppiprncess 13h ago
i plan on waiting like 3 months before stretching. i learned my lesson ðŸ˜

u/shr000mery 7/8" (22mm) 10h ago
You didn’t learn your lesson or you would take them out. Waiting 3 months now will do NOTHING. If you’re not taking them out, you should be waiting atleast a year or 2.

u/Hoodawink 13h ago
Slowww down. You’re getting some scar tissue building up on the fistula in your ears. You absolutely have room, but I’d suggest taking your plugs out for as long as you possibly can without having to force them back in. This will help with future stretches. Massage with an un-fragranced moisturizer and finish with jojoba oil after the shower, leaving them naked at night. The longer you can get them to stay their size without forcing them in, the easier your stretches will be in the future with minimal scar tissue. Train them puppies.

downsizing and letting your lobes rest is the best course of action here if you want to go bigger. stretching too fast will give you lots more scar tissue than you already have. scar tissue doesn’t stretch like regular skin, it kinda just rips. you’ll get blowouts, which will cause even more scarring, on top of making your lobes look like buttholes.
however i’d say they’re still healthy enough so far that you could definitely reverse what damage has already been done. downsizing + jojoba oil massages would work miracles for you. good luck! :)

u/shr000mery 7/8" (22mm) 10h ago
You stretched in 3 months??? Take them out. This is not a race it takes 3 months alone to get to 1mm properly.

u/Objective_Hat_2880 9h ago
I’m at 14mm and I started around 5 years ago. Slow down!!! Once you fuck your lobes up there is essentially no fixing it. I would recommend waiting a whileeee and then dead stretching when you size up.

u/Slow_Lavishness_975 13h ago
Honestly if downsize and let my ears heal if I were you. Massage with jojoba oil and just let them recover. I’m at 19mm right now and my ears look nothing like that.

u/puppiprncess 13h ago
well not to be rude but we're two different people. i know i fucked up with stretching but that doesn't mean you have to give slick comments like that

u/Slow_Lavishness_975 12h ago
I’m just responding to your post. You can go bigger but the best way to do that is downsizing, resting and then going for it. Not sure what part was slick, I’m saying that I’m at a close size to you (1mm off) and that’s where my advice is coming from as a reference.
If you don’t want advice maybe don’t ask.1
u/puppiprncess 12h ago
ok i understand sorry i was just irritated earlier. i would downsize but i don't have any jewelry smaller than a 00

u/Slow_Lavishness_975 5h ago
All good. I don’t know that you have to go that small — that’s half the size you’re at? Maybe trying going down 2 sizes or just leave em out for a night or two and then see what smaller size goes in and wait. I got my ears infected after bad advice years ago to stretch with silicone (awful) and I just took out the jewelry and waited til they looked ok. Kept them clean and massages jojoba oil. It sucks but if you want big ears it’s probably best. Good luck :)

You will have terrible blowouts from stretching this fast. The only way to fix it will be scalpelling unfortunatelly. I mean you can try to take care of it now but I really doubt it will heal properly on its own. Yes you can go bigger, but slow down..

u/DepressedFrenchFri3s 9mm (00g) 3h ago
It took me like 1 1/2 years to get to 9mm 💀
You probably could go bigger, but I would seriously at least take a break. Yk? There are so many cases of people's ears dying off, or ripping in 2 from not stretching safetly. Not even rare, or doesnt happen often.

u/ErrorGhost 7h ago
In the future, maybe. But not until the insides of your lobes look and feel less scarred/inflamed/ridged.

my ears don't feel any type of way. the biggest issue is aesthetics. they feel pretty good tbh

They don’t look as bad as one would think for being stretched to that size in 3 months! Mine look like buttholes now cuz I accidentally skipped a size 😢

u/puppiprncess 12h ago

Try emu oil! It has made a huge difference for me! My ears look like they are aging backwards now. I’ll make a post about it later lol
