What the AI looks for in Women's Body Piercing Plugs
- Flare style
- Single-flare with an O-ring, or no-flare, for fresh stretches; double-flare and saddle plugs only for fully healed lobes Forcing a flare through a newly stretched lobe tears the tissue.
- Stretching material
- Glass or implant-grade titanium or steel for a fresh stretch These are non-porous and smooth, so the lobe heals without trapping bacteria.
- Organic material
- Wood, horn, bone and stone are for healed lobes only; keep wood dry and oil it Porous organics in a fresh stretch harbor bacteria, and soaked wood swells and cracks.
- Size increment
- Go up one gauge size at a time and wait for full healing between stretches Skipping sizes causes blowouts and scar tissue that thins the lobe.
- Measured size
- Confirm the size in millimeters, not just the gauge number Gauge-to-millimeter conversions vary between makers above 0g.

Questions
Plug or tunnel?
A plug is solid and a tunnel is hollow. Plugs are usually gentler for fresh stretches. Tunnels are lighter for larger, healed lobes.
