You want to have the experience of *stretching*, but don't want to take 10 years to do so. Nobody ever said it would take that long.

From a 18g to 16g, then 16g to 14g *shouldn't* take more than a month each (but there will be some people that will say longer). Then roughly 3 to 4 months for each stretch. That wouldn't be more than 3/3.5 years. Even if you took a couple extra months here and there because of one reason or another, it shouldn't take more than 4 years. Now that doesn't include if your ears are fussy due to stretching.
I guess I am KIND OF impatient, in that I want bigger lobes right NOW haha, but not all the way there....kinda like a head start, but not totally cheating.

From 18g - 10g (taking the time 18g, 16g, 14g, 12g, 10g) was the easiest for me.

The time estimate is about right.. I started stretching roughly 3 years ago and I am at a 2g smile

Edited to add: You'll need the patience once you get to the *bigger* gauges so you don't mess up your ears.
