Will Glass plugs stretch my ears?

Single-flared glass plugs are perfect for a fresh stretch since it’s only flared on one side and rounded on the other which makes it easier to slip straight in the ear lobe. Glass is non-porous, highly biocompatible and easy to sanitize which makes it our stretching material of choice.

What size are my ear plugs?

Standard ear piercings are usually pierced at 20g or 18g. Gauge sizes go up (or down, depending on how you look at it) in even numbers from there, so the next largest size from an 18g is 16g, then 14g, then 12g, and so on. When you get to 0g, the next size is 00g (pronounced “double zero gauge”).

What are the smallest plugs?
