What Causes Earlobes to Stretch?
Heavy earrings, large-gauge earrings and dangling earrings are all pieces of jewelry that exert pressure on the ear lobes. Their pressure works from the place where the ear is pierced and this hole slowly stretches over time. In some rare cases, earrings can get caught in something and this can cause a tug or pull on the ear lobe that leads to stretching. This can be very painful. It is best not to wear earrings to bed as they can snag on something and lead to pressure on the earlobes and eventually this will lead to stretching. Those who do not want stretched earlobes should make sure that they do not always wear heavy earrings. While they do not have to eliminate heavy earrings completely, it will be prudent to use lighter studs and smaller pieces more often to allow the lobe days when the pressure is minimal. It is advisable to avoid all large-gauge earrings that are intended for the purpose of stretching earlobes. It is also important to avoid earrings to bed, as mentioned earlier.
