What can you wear in stretched lobes?
👉 Plug Styles 101
Plugs come in single flare, double flare, straight, saddle, and screw-fit styles. Single flare = best for stretching. Double flare = healed lobes only.
👉 What’s a Flare?
A flare is the wider edge that keeps jewelry in place. More flare = harder to insert. O-rings help secure non-flared styles.
👉 Tunnels & Weights
Tunnels let you see through the piercing. Ear weights add stretch with gravity—but too heavy can tear or thin lobes.
👉 Shaped & Specialty Plugs
Coffins, teardrops, spreaders, and oval labret styles add flair. Fun for healed stretches only.
👉 Best Materials
Titanium, steel, gold, glass, stone, wood, silicone. Glass is ideal for stretching. Silicone = comfy, not for healing.
👉 Stretch Safely
Slow. Patient. Never force it. Only use single flare plugs to size up.
👉 Avoid Blowouts
Pain, bleeding, or resistance? Stop. A blowout = tissue pushing outward. Not cute.
👉 Aftercare Matters
Lubricate with skin-safe oil. Massage gently. Treat fresh stretches like new piercings.
👉 Healed First, Always
Fully healed before sizing up. Clean regularly. Happy lobes = happy life.
