Hi, does anyone have suggestions for stretching nipple piercings? I've had mine done for about 4 years and the first couple of stretches went very easily. I currently have 4.5 millimetre rings and would like to go as far as 7mm ones. A local piercer recommended that I try lead weights for a few weeks before the next stretch. I've been doing this for over a year now and sometimes put as much as 60 ounces of lead on each nipple but the holes don't seem to be getting any wider.... I regularly do sea salt soaks and there has been no discharge from them since the last stretch.
A friend on the tribe said that he had stretched his with baby oil and using increasingly larger knitting needles. I don't really fancy going to a shop to buy these so I was hoping that someone could suggest other methods.
Cheers, Billy.

And you can also get yourself a nice fancy infection to go with it. Piercers don't charge an arm and a leg to stretch piercings, and you shouldn't go up more than one gauge with each stretch. Do yourself a favor, pay the five dollars and let a professional do it.
