Just started stretching my ears!

Yeah, that’s right! When I first started at my new job about a month ago I bought labrets one size up from the size I got pierced with. I tried dead stretching, except my ears had shrunk since all the earrings I’d worn for the past year were smaller than what I got pierced with. I ended up going back to my original earrings and today I tried dead stretching again and it actually worked. I’d post pics but they look like regular earrings.
