If you aren’t down with the kids, you won’t know what ear stretchers are all the rage in terms of alternative fashion choices. The purpose behind ear stretchers is to effectively stretch a hole made for a conventional piercing. You may think what the point of ear stretchers are when you could theoretically just make a bigger hole for a piercing, but that isn’t the case. You simply cannot make a bigger hole, the risk of infection and necrosis of the flesh is far greater if you make a large hole than a small one. So you might wonder what ear stretchers actually do. Usually when you buy ear stretchers you get a size bigger than the actual hole, you squeeze it in as much as possible, and then you leave it for the ear stretchers to do their work. What they do, in so much as just being in the hole, is stretch the flesh around them to accommodate the ear stretchers, nothing more and nothing less. Effectively ear stretchers just sit in the hole in your earlobe and just make it bigger by simply being there. After a while the ear stretchers you have in place will have done their job and the hole in the lobe will be stretched to a larger size.
If you want to go larger still, bigger ear stretchers are available to do the whole process all over again but on a grander scale. It is advised you don’t get overzealous with your ear stretchers when it comes to size, always get ear stretchers that are appropriate for the size of the hole, it is physically impossible to get larger ear stretchers into a hole they are too big for. At the very least over sizing your ear stretchers will lead to immense discomfort or at least some form of infection as a result of potentially breaking the skin in order to jam the ear stretchers into the hole in the lobe. If you’re interested in ear stretchers, conventional and alternative jewellery shops have them in stock right now, so don’t delay in getting your ear stretchers.
