Star Stretched Ear Plug is made from surgical steel. This is the most commonly used material for body jewellery. We love that it is a bit different with the cut out star detailing. This ear tunnel has a smooth straight edge. The back unscrews so that it is easier to put in your ear.

We cater for all different sizes from  10mm, 12mm and 16mm,  Ear tunnels are ideal once you have reach your desired size. They will unscrew on one side so they are easy to put into an existing stretched ear. They give the effect of an even larger stretch. These ear tunnels are highly polished and excellent quality.

Star Stretched Ear Plug are made from surgical steel 316L. This means they are implant-grade surgical stainless steel – it is probably the most common and most widely used metal for body piercings. Surgical Stainless Steels (316L) are used for bone fixation screws, body pins, bone plates, staples, amongst many other applications. We do not play or gamble with your health.

If you’re wearing SS 316L  jewellery and are having problems with irritation or a new piercing that just won’t heal, it is possible that you have a intolerance of surgical steel and might want to try titanium.

Advice for safe ear stretching:

It is important to wash your hands with antibacterial soap and hot water before you begin ear stretching. To ensure your ear stretcher is clean before you begin, soak the ear stretcher in studex or alcohol for 5 minutes before inserting. It can be helpful to soak the lobe in hot water prior to stretching to increase circulation and soften and relax the tissue. We recommend that you use a lubricant  like a KY Jelly, Savlon or medical gel.  It is important to take it slowly and do it yourself, as someone else pushing the ear stretcher can not monitor your level of pain and may push too fast and hard and tear the ear.

Once you have reached the desired expansion size, the jewellery should be left for 6 weeks or until completely healed before attempting to further size up. This allows the new skin time to thicken and toughen up before continuing with the enlarging process again

Ear tunnels are great once you have stretched your ear. If you need to begin stretching then choose something from our tapered range of ear stretchers
