When stretching ear piercings, it’s important to use quality kits, materials, and ear stretching jewelry. There are several different types of stretching methods, with the taper and plug being the most common. An ideal place to shop for these items would be one with a wide range of ear stretching jewelry and kits in a variety of materials, styles, and colors.
Tapers and Plugs
It is easiest to begin the ear stretching process by purchasing a kit of tapers and plugs. Tapers are the cone-shaped spikes that get pushed through the earring hole to stretch it out before placing the plug in the newly stretched hole. Over time, you will use larger tapers to put in larger plugs to stretch out the holes. It is recommended to wait between 2 and 6 months before switching sizes. Generally, to avoid allergic reactions, you will want to use a kit that uses materials made out of surgical steel. When you are happy with the size of your stretched ears, you can graduate to wearing tunnels (the hollow, circular jewelry worn in your stretched out piercings).
