Tunnels and stretched ear jewelry choices<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have taken the time and effort to stretch your ears and achieve one of body piercing\u2019s most extreme and sought after fashions, it\u2019s time to get some real jewelry into those lobes! There is a huge array of great styles to choose from and with that in mind we wanted to create an article that serves as a guideline for the best stretched ear jewellery choices on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tunnels and plugs for stretched ears<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\nOnce your ear piercing is wide enough to fit a plug (a solid block of\nvarying shapes that can fit into the flesh of your earlobe) or\nflesh-tunnel type piercing( most often a circular ring with a hole\nyou can see through) the options are nearly endless! Even the\nexpanders themselves (used to stretch the skin wider and wider) come\nin a huge array of styles, shapes, materials and sizes. Plugs can\nalso be made in organic or inorganic materials, and inset with\neverything from images to precious stones \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nMoving to ear gauges and tunnel piercings means that you shouldn\u2019t\nstretch too fast in the name of safety \u2013 ALWAYS consult your\npiercer and buy from a reputable supplier whose materials are safe\nand certified. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wide gauge earrings<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Wide gauge earrings come in a variety of styles but basically consist of a large hooked or spiral earring without a fastener that simply slides snugly into whatever size of ear piercing hole you have, and is fixed there by the tightness of the skin. They can bemade out of a variety of organic piercing materials as well as inorganic\u2013 examples being glass, horn, bone, wood and a variety of other standard materials such as stainless steel or silver. Quite often these pieces may be handmade, and a great variety styles can be found within this category. Care should be taken not to choose too large a gauge, and ears should be stretched gently as per your piercer\u2019s guidance. What dangles from the hook or spiral that goes in your ear piercing is limited only by the creator\u2019s imagination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extras for stretched ear care<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\nAll your piercings require care, but none more so than stretched ear\nlobes \u2013 this is an extreme form of body modification and should be\ntreated with respect! Special stretching tape should be used on your\nearlobes in order that the skin does not split or stretch too\nquickly. This can reduce the chance of injury and speed the healing\nprocess. Various oils, moisturisers and soaps are available made\nspecifically with stretching in mind \u2013 you certainly should avoid\nany normal commercial products that can cause drying. Examples of\nuseful products to use on your stretched ears are vegetable glycerine\nsoap \u2013 a great alternative to soap that keeps your skin supple and\nsanitised \u2013 emu oil, to give your skin an extra elastic bounce,\njojoba and tea tree oil \u2013 both great at moisturising while keeping\nyour skin free of infection!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With care you can stretch your ears to the maximum, and your choice of stretched ear piercing jewelry will sit comfortably for many years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
