This is just kinda a general question… but as I was stretching to a 4 today, I was imagining all the jewelery I’m gonna buy when I get my goal (1/2ish??) and then I thought about double flare plugs…

I’m probably gonna sound really dumb, but wouldn’t putting double flare plugs in stretched ears be like stretching them all over again in order to get them in the holes?

hmmmm o_O

When it comes to double flared plugs, there is a bit of a stretch involved in getting them in. The flares on most double-flared plugs is not a full-size bigger than the plug itself. So, if you have been at a particular size for a while, putting in double-flared jewelry is typically not a problem.

If your ears don’t naturally stretch well, or the flares are overly-large on the jewelry in question, they could be a little harder to get it in.

You shouldn’t use double-flared jewelry for stretching, obviously…as you’ll have to actually stretch almost two sizes to get them in…which is a great way to tear your ears.
