Fake Plugs

Stretching your ears is a really hot trend right now it seems everyone either has their ears stretched or are planning on getting them stretched.  Well if your still a little sceptical about making the choice you can try on fake plugs.  Fake plugs come in a variety of styles and colors.  All you need to insert them is to have your ears pierced.    The great thing about fake plugs is their very inexpensive, look like the real deal, and are extremely easy to maintain.  Maintenance is easy just remember no matter the price or quality of the plugs you always want to make sure not to over tighten the screws on either side.  Over tightening can crack the plug if its made out of plastic, wood, or any fragile material.  Other than that you want to make sure to give them a clean every once in a while (whenever they get a little stinky) with antibacterial soap and water.    Fake plugs are a great way to see if you are ready for the real deal.  Though some people just like to wear fake plugs period.  If you do however decide to get the real deal just buy a set of stretchers.  A good size to start with is a 14 or a 12.  After having the stretchers(also known as expanders) for a couple of days to a week you can insert plugs.  Whatever it is you want, remember if your not sure there’s always fake piercings for just about any part of the body from a fake nose stud to a fake lip labret.
