These domed single flare glass pairs are perfect for those looking for either:

1. a glossy black match-with-everything daily wear option in their current size
2. a 1mm incremental dead stretching option for those sizing up

Already at your goal size and not looking to stretch? No problem. From the black flare to the clear domed stem, these plugs are 100% smooth borosilicate glass and built to last as affordable, durable every day wear.

What's the difference between tapering and dead stretching?

Dead stretching, or single flared stretching, is the process of stretching your piercing(s) slowly simply by inserting the next size up in 1mm increments and letting the weight of the jewelry assist in the stretching process. For many, dead stretching with rounded single flare plugs is a totally painless stretching process vs. the "jump" in sizing that you might experience with tapers. While tapering with acrylic tends to be less expensive, dead stretching might be worth the investment if your stretching journey has plateaued and you can't *quite* get to your goal size.

What do I get?

Each set contains 1 pair (2 items total) of borosilicate glass plugs, clear on the wearable area and glossy black on the face. Dead stretch pairs are single flared (larger on the face than the wearable area) and come with o-rings to hold them in place.

All in on dead stretching but not sure what to order?

As an example, someone who is currently wearing 2g (6mm) plugs with a goal size of 00g (10mm) could order this listing in 7mm, 8mm, 9mm and 10mm. Start by wearing the 7mm pair for ~2 weeks, swap for the next size up when lobes have loosened enough. Everyone's skin elasticity is different, move at a pace that is comfortable for you.

How do I care for my plugs?
Always avoid exposing your crystal, glass and stone plugs to harsh chemicals. Rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, products containing chlorine, etc. will strip the finish from your plugs and these natural materials can react to and absorb these chemicals, causing skin irritation and potential allergic reactions. If you wish to lightly clean your plugs, we recommend mild unscented soap and room temperature water. Be sure to store in a dry, room temperature location when not being worn. The display box that we ship them in, along with the recycled packing material, is perfect for storage!

I ordered the wrong size, can I return my body jewelry?
We are unable to accept returns or exchanges on body jewelry per health code. If you're unsure of your current lobe size, it is advised that you visit your local piercing shop to verify before ordering. If there's another issue with your order, you're welcome to use the "Contact Seller" option here on Etsy, or email me directly at lindsey [!at] 70knots.com while including your order number.

How do I stretch my earlobes?
There are a lot of methods out there, whatever path you choose, do so safely, slowly, and with a lubricant like pure vitamin E oil. Forcing lobes to stretch before they're fully healed, or jumping sizes too quickly can result in blowouts, which will greatly increase your required healing time. Patience is key. We offer traditional 14G-00G taper kits and single flared dead stretch glass in 1mm increments. We also offer stone and glass hangers for weighted stretching when we can, which require a starting size of 1/2" or 12.7mm. Follow along at @70knots on Instagram for updates on product drops like these.

How do I wear double flared plugs?
Double flared plugs allow us to wear crystal, glass and stone without having to keep track of o-rings. Double flared plugs are measured at their wearable area or the "saddle" and are 1-2mm larger at the flares to keep the plugs securely in place. To wear double flared plugs: Insert one edge of the plug's flare into your ear, then gently pull down on the plug to insert the other edge of the flare into your ear - "tilt in, tilt out". Never push plugs straight through, never force your plugs to fit. Lobes must be fully healed before wearing double flares, pain is an indication that your lobes are not yet fully healed at the goal size.

What is the meaning of "70 Knots"?
The unit of measurement for wind is known as 'knots' - once wind speeds pick up over 70 knots, the boiling point if you will, they are classified as a Category 1 hurricane. 70 Knots is truly a DIY effort from the ground-up, with a whole lot of grind and not a whole lot of sleep. A productive sort of frenzy, if you will - one that makes the owner wish they really had 8 arms! Check things out behind the scenes & pack orders with me on Instagram at @70knots.

Great, simple glass plugs. I've bought so many of these over the last year, every time I size up I buy another pair. Makes sizing up so easy and painless. I would recommend.
