I love my ear weights! I put them through my steel tunnels to prevent my ears from stretching Unevenly and even though I don’t use them to stretch up and I only wear them in healed stretches, I feel like they can help to make my plugs looser so I can fit in double flares! Again, I DONT USE THEM TO STRETCH. But using them in conjunction with the steel tunnels feels more comfortable and this is just something I’ve noticed! Thankyou for this video!
Just wanna say this is my favorite store and I love these videos! I’m getting deeper into my modification and Matt always seems to be there with guidance 🖤
I love your guys stuff I buy plugs all the time buttttt can you guys make more of them in bigger sizes pleaseeeee and thank you I’ve been wanting ear weights too :-(
I'm barely about to start wearing ear weights now. I have to ask, what is the maximum reccomended amount of hours I can wear a pair of ear weights before I have to take em' out for a pair of plugs?
I know this video is old and I might not get an answer but I am currently at 00g but I do not want to size up or down. I've been here for about 3 months and I got these really cool frosted glass spiral blue plugs as an early birthday present. I want to wear them often but I'm afraid they might stretch my ears more. Here's the thing, they are light weight and not too big but when I move my head from side to side I can feel them move my earlobe ever so slightly. My question is will these stretch my ears and will my ear go to a bigger size if I wore them often. I have other plugs and sleep in different ones but I just really want to stay at this size and not go up. Please and Thank you for you help.
T3chN0 yes they’ll stretch from the weight of the glass . It’s happened to me with my stone plugs. Just wear them when you go out .switch back and worth to silicone tunnels so that you can manage your size.
Can you talk about Stone Plugs? I wanna start wearing Stone Plugs exclusively. I wanna know if I can wear them all day everyday, if I can sleep with them or if I can't. Will they thin my ear lobes or damage them? I'm a size 1/2" Or 13mm btw.
@@wildmoonchild8210 there are some stones that are porous or can be toxic if gotten wet so as long as they are not either of those it's fine to shower in. Stones used to make plugs usually are ok. Examples of safe stones are quartz, amethyst, turquoise, opal ext.
Could using ear weights very occasionally potentially help thicken my earlobe? I know it sounds counterintuitive based on everything he said but I was thinking maybe if my ear has to work a little harder every now and then it might grow more cells and thicken up? I have 3/4” gauged ears but they feel thin to me. I have super tiny features anyway and I’ve had size 5/8” for 11 years and just went up to 3/4” slowly by using the tape method. Maybe they just feel thin in comparison to the hole being bigger and they’re actually the same thickness?😅
So I have 51mm lobes (2”), what would be an acceptable weight to use on my lobes? I love the look of them, and would like to get a pair or 2, but don’t want to sacrifice severely having to downsize if I’m wearing them often.
That´s not correct, there are very heavy weights with thin wearable area that can fit smaller sizes but aren´t suitable for people who have never used weights before. Good shops always tell you how heavy the weights are.
Usually 10-15 grams are considered light so they won´t have a huge impact on the size of your ears, 25-45 grams can be considered as medium so you should have trained your ears before you use them, everything above is only for experienced weights users. You can get your ears to accept more heavy weights with slowly increasing the weight or your jewelry or the time wearing so your ears will get used to it. But you always have to be carefull and listen to your body.
Question if i was wear heavy jewelry for 4 hrs day .would that hurt the bottom of ear lobes . When I’m stretching my ears. I’m really new to this . I watch most of videos
Hello! I make jewelry and have been requested to make body modification jewelry. I love faux gages but thats all I know about the subject. As a wearer of this kind of jewelry what could you tell me that a customer looks for in their body modification jewelry? Do you have a video like this already? What is important to you when you buy? Comfort? What makes a good saddle? I am looking to make custom works to take to my local Tattoo and piercing shops and would love anything you could tell me about the subject. With that said, now I'm going to binge watch your videos. Thank you
i do it, it works for me but im at a pretty small gauge though, however doing this allowed be to stretch up in 6 days with literally NO pain. i recommened weighting occainally and also just slightly tugging on your ears in all directions sometimes.
I do it! I’m at 5/8ths and the metal tunnels help prevent any thinning in my opinion and at bigger sizes I find weight stretching can help to put double flares in and my ears stretch naturally now. I don’t tape up or use tapers, I can comfortably and easily slide in the next size up single flared tunnel in after using heavy stone plugs or by just using my weights on occasion in my tunnels!
Wish I had seen this before stretching all the way to 0G, wich was more or less what some body piercers told me was the limit so I could go back. I can make it shrink to about 6g, maybe 8 if I don't wear anything for a month and a half or so. I don't think it'll shrink any more than that. I don't care that much but I might have to do the surgery some day, for work related issues, I don't know but if there's anything I can do on my own to try to shrink it further please let me know. .
Dustin Wagner I personally feel if you’re already comfortable with being a person who walks confidently w stretched lobes might as well confidently strut with those ear weights you’ve been eyeing 💖 lol
I was at a 6 gauge and blew out my ear and it got infected i took out the tapers because my ear was really bad swelled up and i couldnt put the jewelery in i wore the taper for 3 days hoping it would feel better and the swelling would stop but it dident the third day it was bleeding with puss coming out and i took it out and clean it with sea salt soaks and moisturized it with jojoba oil 3 times a day and it looks so much better but the problem it my ear closed and i was looking for something that would help my ear u stretch out a little bit after it heals completely without risking getting a blow out again can i use ear weights to help my ear stretch out a little bit ? Or does it only work for 00 gauge and up? Please help.
You need to go up in size very slowly. You want to make sure you have a healthy lobe. Maybe size up every 6 months or so. You can get away with the smaller sizes. But I wouldn’t risk it considering you had a blow out. Enjoy the journey. Your ears will thank you later.
thanks for this upload now i understand y i should not wear them to stretch or wear them all the time tho funny thing is idk if its the heat or what but my ears with tunnels in have stretched them self
Eric Goodwin that's normal. Any earrings loosen up naturally. That's the way that you're supposed to stretch and that's what amakes it possible to wear double flare plugs.
This sounds kinda stupid but I can't really afford ear weights but is there something I could use from home cause my ears desperately need weights my stretched ears are going really close to my face
are your ears flairing out? i was told to use the weights to pull the lobes dowm im at 14 and really wanna strech bigger but scared im gonna look like dumbo so was told to use the weights

My question is do you have to get the size of your gauges for the weights or is an ear weight just an ear weight?
I wear ear weights/hangers during the day and slip my plugs in at night; I also rotate how heavy the weights I wear are
I love your guys stuff I buy plugs all the time buttttt can you guys make more of them in bigger sizes pleaseeeee and thank you I’ve been wanting ear weights too :-(
This was so helpful. I just got my first pair of ear weights and I don't know what I'm doing.
I'm barely about to start wearing ear weights now. I have to ask, what is the maximum reccomended amount of hours I can wear a pair of ear weights before I have to take em' out for a pair of plugs?
I just wanted to know what size to wear nd I still don’t know so this isn’t 101
@UrbanBodyJewelry Matt, where did you get the “micro daith coils” that you’re wearing in the video????
Gabe Ream did you ever find out where to find these?
Totally answered all my questions. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I wear stone plugs all day/night. I usually only take them out for showers, but I don't think there's anything wrong with getting them wet.
@@wildmoonchild8210 there are some stones that are porous or can be toxic if gotten wet so as long as they are not either of those it's fine to shower in. Stones used to make plugs usually are ok. Examples of safe stones are quartz, amethyst, turquoise, opal ext.
Does anyone know what size/weight should you get if you're only wanting to wear occasionally? I'm 22mm
Thank u, that was super helpful
I wore them for a week straight including sleep, am I screwed
I am also at 00g before the weights came in
How do I know what size to get? I’m a half inch.
most i’ve seen fit anything 00 and up since they don’t go around your whole hole they aren’t really sized by gauge or mm

but, how much weight to wear witout streching to another sice or let it grow back, can anyone help?
You buy them by size, you cannot pick the weight. the weight is already decided for you when you buy the right size for your ear
Nicoleth H honestly, it shouldn't be too bug of a deal if you buy smaller, however I would say that you should go for your size
Maria Mistfire okay thanks!

wait can i wear ear weights through like steel tunnels?
Nikki Rhys probably
You can use Kaos Softwear Hydra Eyelets, they are actually designed with the weight trough eyelets idea in mind. They work perfect for that.

Thoughts on putting a weight through a metal tunnel? Obviously not full time, but to aid with stretching
i do it, it works for me but im at a pretty small gauge though, however doing this allowed be to stretch up in 6 days with literally NO pain. i recommened weighting occainally and also just slightly tugging on your ears in all directions sometimes.

probably find it redistributes the stretch

Solid vid man
I agree with you
Question, is it common or I suppose fashionable for men to wear ear hangers? I love the look of some of the basic hangers but dont wanr it to look bad
Dustin Wagner I personally feel if you’re already comfortable with being a person who walks confidently w stretched lobes might as well confidently strut with those ear weights you’ve been eyeing 💖 lol
@@ThugishFrijolito92 I appreciate that, thank you
i think they look cool

iv learnt that over time and i keep lossing mine
Eric Goodwin We'll that's good. You keep losing them? If so, go up a size. Unless you meant to put loosening lol
i want to go up but got no cash at this stage
What’s the minimum size to get ear weights I’m 10mm(1cm)(00g)
Im at 8. You can find weights for small sizes :)
8mm* 😂
Nice🤘👀🤘
She’s probably wearing weights and doesn’t know what their doing so she looked it up
This sounds kinda stupid but I can't really afford ear weights but is there something I could use from home cause my ears desperately need weights my stretched ears are going really close to my face
I use heavier earrings I got from Forever 21, I know some other people who just use hoop earrings, too. It works well and is very cute :)
+PearlsBeforeSwine nice I'll give it a try ! Thanks person lol
