Single-flare and no-flare are the plugs that you wear o-rings on, while double-flares have two flared ends that hold them in place. Double-flares are more difficult to get in and take out, and you may not be able to wear them at all if your stretches aren't loosened up enough.
Here's an example of a double-flare plug:

I'm Lindsay.
I have 1/2" lobes and 11 piercings: left helix x2, both conches, both nostrils, septum, navel, and VCH.
My lobes are small but I know a lot about stretching and how to do it safely, so message me if you have any questions!
