Stretching up one size with healed tissue should only cause some minor pain and soreness. You should not have to struggle or apply very much force to go up a size. And you should never have intense pain or bleeding during stretching. If you do, stop, downsize, and take time to heal so the tissue doesn’t blowout.

How often should you size up your gauges?
