INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To start making this easy booklet, grab an ordinary piece of 8 1/2 x 11" paper (the size used in most printers) and a pair of scissors. Fold the paper in half with a "hamburger" fold in other words, your fold should make the paper shorter and fatter, not longer and skinnier.

SUMMARY: Fold an 8 1/2 x 11" piece of paper in half hamburger-style.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Moving too fast through the stretching process is one of the biggest causes of pain. Regardless of your chosen method, wait until your ears have healed before stretching them further. Stretching too quickly can have serious consequences, such as a "blowout", in which the inside of a stretched hole is forced out the back of the piercing as a result of too much pressure. This can result in permanent disfigurement and damage of the ear lobe. Another complication from advancing size too quickly or enlarging ear lobe beyond the remaining blood supply rim is that the skin edges will separate or tear. Surgery would be required to correct this. Advancing size too quickly increases risk of infections. How long you should wait between tapers or sizes varies. People heal at different rates, for one, and it also depends on how much you're stretching; however, it's recommended to give your ears at least a month to get used to one size before moving up. Only increase size in 1-millimeter increments (for example, from 1 mm to 2 mm). Never skip a size when stretching. If you don't feel a lot of pain, you may feel overeager and want to skip up to a higher size to speed up the process; however, this increases the chance of causing permanent damage to your ears. Even if you feel confident, skipping sizes is a bad idea. Pain when sizing up is a sign something is wrong. If you have intense pain, resistance, or bleeding when inserting a new taper or adding another layer of tape, you should stop. Your ear is not fully healed and sizing up now could cause damage. Stay at your current size and wait a week before attempting to size up. While it may look and feel awkward, your ears may heal at different rates. If one ear is taking slightly longer, there's no medical reason why you can't stretch your ears at different rates. In fact, if one ear is more tender than the other it's better to slow down for the sake of avoiding damage.

SUMMARY: Don't stretch too fast. Stop if you feel pain. Stretch your ears at different speeds, if necessary.
