I just received a pair of the flexible double flared tunnels,& I'm not planning to wear them for awhile,as I just increased to a 00 recently,but I'm just wondering about how they work.Not literally-I mean,they're flexible plugs so it's pretty self-explanatory what you do w/ them,but for me,when I take out my plugs,even after I've been at a size for months,the hole doesn't look nearly as big as the jewelry.So what I'm wondering is if the tunnel is flexible,how does it really hold it's shape being surrounded by skin,which is thicker than it?I mean,wouldn't it collapse under the weight or pressure I'll say for lack of a better word,of your skin?I know this may sound like a dumb question,but you have to understand that I'm 30yrs.old,so when I did this the 1st time when I was young in the 90s,there was Hot Topic,Hot Topic,or Hot Topic to choose from.So you'd basically pay an arm & a leg for shitty quality stuff(I'm talking $25-$30 for a crappy pair of acrylic plugs;that's why back in the 90s,kids used to do their ears 1 at a time cause it was so expensive) & there wasn't much to choose from.There was no flexible plugs,or sites or places where you'd have a huge selection for cheap.So the 2nd time around,I was amazed at all the vast array of stuff now & how affordable it all was.
