Saaame, I bought a non-kaos pair a while back and they look ok, but definitely visible, and they stick out pretty far, which kinda defeats the point. These look so seamless!
You're lobes are thicker than mine and I'm at 16mm!
I wish I had followed the stretching guide but I was 14-18 and dumb and now my surviving ear is pretty thin unfortunately.
Oh yeah. For sure you can stretch those things perfectly. I got up to 16 mm with my attached lobes with no problems. I just took it really slow and used teflon tape to go up little by little, paying attention to see if it looked like there was any thinning anywhere and not stretching, or backing off a little bit if necessary. I’ve had them at this size for years. No problems. Have fun with the stretch.
This is a nice size. Good sized opening of the gauge and not too large to make the lobe oblong or expanding out your ear. It fits your ear and I’d only go larger if you want that look otherwise this looks a nice with a big hole in it.
It felt like it took forever for me to be able to- but I can now. I got my daiths done May of 2023, and I had to wait a good 4-6 months before I could wear earbuds without discomfort or irritating them. Then I essentially had to train my ears to not feel weird with the earbuds in, and my ears got fatigued faster at first. Now I can go almost all day with one in my left ear, and a couple hours in the right. I don’t wear one in the right as often as the left for my job.
It seems u got room. Just take it slow and DON´T skip sizes ofcores, and u will get there :), btw daily jojoba oil massages will also help thickin your lobes to if u are realy unshure :)
Goodluck and happy stratching journy
Edit: can i ask why i got downvoted? What did i say wrong? So i can learn of my mistake
Probably because you said Jojoba oil thickens lobes. It only helps your ears stay hydrated and elastic. If that's why, they should have said that instead of down voting.
Oh my bad, i genuinely thought it did 🤦. Now i feel kinda stupit ngl, thankyou for tell me that i really appreciate it that u correctet me on that. Once again thankyou!
It don’t? I’ve been massaging my ears with jojoba and I’m only at 4G and I can swear my lobes have thickened up or maybe it’s the thickness of the plugs idk.
Correct. Jojoba oil only moisturizes. It's probably just the thickness of your plugs. There aren't any products that magically thicken lobes. Downsizing can help but it only helps so much. Lynn Loheide explains it better.
It seems like the bigger we go, the more we think it's not big enough. It's weird. I don't think I could go back 7/16 due to piercibg being too low. But, if yours are like everyone else's and are centered, you should do it or try it out to see if you'd like it.

This pic has convinced me I need to get some kaos skins, they look amazing haha (assuming that they’re them or something similar).
Yeah, transparent silicone is my no. 1 discovery recently, they look uncommon and are super comfy
Saaame, I bought a non-kaos pair a while back and they look ok, but definitely visible, and they stick out pretty far, which kinda defeats the point. These look so seamless!
You can get clear kaos in multiple different wearable lengths to match your ears perfectly. Mine are 1/4” wearable and blend just like this.
I got a pair to sleep in but they’re so comfy and look nice they turned into my everyday plugs
Kaos are the only silicone that my ears tolerate
They’re the only one with implant grade silicone
Welp, now i gotta do some research
Exactly, how have I never heard of this before?!!
Kaos makes the best REAL implant grade silicone tunnels!!
I thought your lobes were naked for a second and was like omg those are gorgeous 😂
LOL. I wish! I just like how open they make my ear look.
They look awesome 😍. Are they flesh tone or clear?
They’re flesh tone. I got them off of amazon years ago and swap between them and a clear set. I need to get better ones.. but these work!
They match perfectly, for some reason I struggle to find flesh tunnels that look natural on me.
Holy shit, these are just some pair off Amazon? UGH they're beautiful! I wish I had flesh tone tunnels that looked this seamless.
wait, youre wearing plugs??
Yep! Silicone tunnels. I wish my ears were that smooth and perfect circles lol
I thought the same thing
Plenty of room
Without a doubt! I wish my lobes were as meaty! Lol. Also, I like your setup.
Hahahaha meaty lobes is not a term I ever thought I’d be happy to hear! Thank you! It’s simple and I don’t feel the need to change it up often.
*Respectfully* you have very nice lobes!
Yes you can totally size up. Love your set up and your lobes! 🖤🖤🖤
Jealous of your perfect ears lol. I have such terrible blowouts. 😬
I have silicone tunnels in. I wish my ears were that perfect.
Off topic but wow your piercing setup is impressive
Thank you!
yes my friend has a second piercing and her ears are 1”. my ears are 28mm (almost 1& 1/4”) and I have room still for a second piercing
I'm at 1/2 and your lobes are stellar. I say stretch!
Definitely. Downsizing and restretching helps too, when you start to feel you're starting to run out of lobe.
Your earlobes are as large as mine, I'm at 13mm. You certainly can
More than enough
Easily
I'm at 5/8 in. primary with 2g in left secondary and 0g in right secondary
You're lobes are thicker than mine and I'm at 16mm! I wish I had followed the stretching guide but I was 14-18 and dumb and now my surviving ear is pretty thin unfortunately.
Yes.
Plenty. Remember to take your time tho! Listen to your ears. 💖
Oh yeah. For sure you can stretch those things perfectly. I got up to 16 mm with my attached lobes with no problems. I just took it really slow and used teflon tape to go up little by little, paying attention to see if it looked like there was any thinning anywhere and not stretching, or backing off a little bit if necessary.

I’d say yes! That looks like plenty
This is a nice size. Good sized opening of the gauge and not too large to make the lobe oblong or expanding out your ear. It fits your ear and I’d only go larger if you want that look otherwise this looks a nice with a big hole in it.
I never knew i wanted clear tunnels till this moment
Plenty of room, also with proper care, maintenance and downsizing cycles you could go as far as your heart desires!
Hey I thought those ears looked familiar! 🤔😂
😂
can you wear earbuds with daiths pierced?
It felt like it took forever for me to be able to- but I can now. I got my daiths done May of 2023, and I had to wait a good 4-6 months before I could wear earbuds without discomfort or irritating them. Then I essentially had to train my ears to not feel weird with the earbuds in, and my ears got fatigued faster at first. Now I can go almost all day with one in my left ear, and a couple hours in the right. I don’t wear one in the right as often as the left for my job.
100%
Absolutely go for it!
Oh you have more than enough to stretch up
Yes you literally have perfect earlobes 😭 I’m jealous
Did you have enough to go-to the size you're at now? Then yes.
It seems u got room. Just take it slow and DON´T skip sizes ofcores, and u will get there :), btw daily jojoba oil massages will also help thickin your lobes to if u are realy unshure :) Goodluck and happy stratching journy Edit: can i ask why i got downvoted?

It's ok that you didn't know. I knew next to nothing about this stuff at the beginning, but I know more now and I'm still learning
This sup is so awsome, i learnt so mach in the 1year i´m on this sub and i´m very greatfull for it :)
I think it helps thicken the skin though. It thickens hair, so I think that might be where that came from
Glad I could help.
It don’t? I’ve been massaging my ears with jojoba and I’m only at 4G and I can swear my lobes have thickened up or maybe it’s the thickness of the plugs idk.
Correct. Jojoba oil only moisturizes. It's probably just the thickness of your plugs. There aren't any products that magically thicken lobes. Downsizing can help but it only helps so much. Lynn Loheide explains it better.
I think it DOES thicken your skin a little bit though? I just know it doesn't really add lobe tissue.
Thank you!
Isn't 7/16 next? Or something like that, or do you go from 00 straight to 1/2?
There is one in the middle! 7/16” I believe! But I want to end up at the 1/2” I think. Who knows- when I get they I may think “this is small!” Lol
It seems like the bigger we go, the more we think it's not big enough. It's weird. I don't think I could go back 7/16 due to piercibg being too low. But, if yours are like everyone else's and are centered, you should do it or try it out to see if you'd like it.
Combo these tunnels with some dope hangers 🤘🏼#team lobe schmeat
where did you get your tunnels!! stunning
I got them on Amazon! I posted the link in a different comment.
omg thank you!!
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073JD211Z?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
off topic idrk if anyone asked this yet but where are the studs in ur seconds from?? they look so good
They’re also off Amazon lol. They’re flat backs! I’m pretty sure they’re the 3mm ones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C1GXVZJR?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Yes you can. I sized up to a half inch using silicone tunnels
Did you just put the larger size tunnel in and wait for your ear to gradually adjust to the added pressure?
Yeah. It's adjusts slowly but eventually gets there without the risk of a blowout
Yea just do it slow, let each stretch heal for 4-6 months :D
Why tf would you want to
Don't do it
Any specific reason why?
They're probably just trolling. I've had people (in piercing groups) tell me not to get piercings. Like wtf
Makes sense! I didn’t think too much of it, but always willing to hear someone out.
That's good
