Organic Flesh Plugs and Tunnels, Double Flared

Please Note Organic Double flared plugs and tunnels. The size stated is for the thinnest part of the plug. The ends are slightly wider (about a millimeter wider) which is how they stay in. To get them in means a bit of a stretch. This is easy if your holes are loose, like a month after stretching, but harder on a fresh stretch. So we advise being at a size for a few weeks before buying a double flared plug in that size. Then, organic plugs like these are really comfortable to wear and change.

The horn and bone used in our jewellery comes from water buffalo farmed in Asia. The animals are reared and killed for their meat. The horn and bone are a by-product of the farming industry. If the bones and horn were not used for carving, they would be discarded. All these items are handcarved in rural communities in Indonesia. The prices are set by the suppliers, and the carvers are very pleased to have the trade. The carvers come from families of hand carvers who have homed their skills over many generations.

'Organic' materials allow the ear lobe to 'breathe'. Some people find that wearing steel, acrylic or glass can make the lobe a bit smelly.. (nice) Wearing horn, bone and wooden jewellery definately helps with this, which is why some stretchers promote 'organics' as the best material to use for long term primary use, but its all a matter of taste really.

Organic Stretching Jewellery

Organic jewellery allows the skin to 'breathe' this can significantly cut down on the build up and smell of sebum in the ear. Organics are a good idea for those that find this a problem.

caring for your organic jewellery
Dont get your organic jewellery too wet. Remember to remove your jewellery when bathing or swimming, and refrain from soaking your jewellery in anything. Do not autoclave organic body jewellery.

Buffalo horn has grain, just like wood. It is important to protect horn and bone jewellery from too much water, as this may cause swelling and could eventually result in the grain of the jewelry cracking.

Horn and bone can be lightly washed with a mild soap and a lttle water if needed, but its preferable to clean with just a few drops of essential oil on a soft cloth.

Double flared flesh plugs.

The size stated is the thinnest part of the plug, where it sits in the ear.
The ends are slightly larger (0.5mm to 1mm larger than mid-point), which stops them falling out.
You have to push them in, which means a slight stretch, then they pop in.
This is a lot easier if your hole is a month or two old, and therefore loose.

Organic

'Organic' basically means natural in jewellery terms. It doesnt mean the horn and bone comes from organically reared buffalo ! Organic jewellery is jewellery made from horn, bone or wood or other natural materials. There is a whole branch of piercers and stretchers who promote 'organics' as the best material for stretching jewellery. This is because the natural materials 'breathe' Which can help with caring for the lobes. Also some people have problems with the lobes smelling a bit when they use steel or glass or acrylic ( bit like smelly feet.... lovely) This is not so bad when they use 'organics' as they allow the ear to breathe.
Also people see organics as the most traditional and therefore authentic material to use. We feel all types of materials have their place, organics are particularily good for long term primary use.
