Acrylic Sucks

[RADCAZ]

Is There Any Way To Wear Acrylic Gauges Without Having My ears All Itchy And Sore, Because I Recently Bought Some 1/2in Glow In The Dark Plugs.. And After A Week My Lobes Were Red And And F**ked Up, So I Downsized To My Stainless Steel Tunnels, I Wanna Be Able To Wear Them Eventually Though, Any Suggestions?

I wear acrylic often and have no probs but some people are alleregic and you may be one of them .Have you worn acrylic before ? My suggestion would be just wear them during the day and dont sleep in them see if that helps I have heard some peoples bodies try to break down the acrylic ( for some reason its just the way they react to it ) wearing them for short periods of time may help because your ears wont have time to start breaking down the acrylic in just a few hours .. I have no idea if that will work its just my suggestion .. like I was just saying in a previous post I wear cheap jewelry often but only for about 12 hours max then I put some quality comfey plugs in to sleep ...

also Ive always been leary of glow in the dark .. i mean its got to be some kind of chemical that makes it glow and I dont see how that can be good for the body thats why Ive never wanted glow in the dark Tattoo ink even tho it looks awesome Im just scared to put something like that in my body .. maybe try some basic acrylic thats not glow in the dark and see how you do with that

Just don't wear them for long periods of time and don't use them to stretch. If I wear acrylic it's usually only for 2-3 days at a time.

You might be able to squish them into some earskins...
There are glow filled kaos, and glow GWS glass, both of which are much, much more ear friendly cause the dodgy glow chemical isn't in contact with your skin

Acrylic is icky for me.. itchy ears if I wear it for too long. And cheesy ears in the best case :/

Thanks For The Help After My Ears Heal up, Im gonna Try and Stray Away from Acrylic After Of Course I Wear Them Cautiously To Get Too 9/16ths. While Maybe Trying That Earskins Thing, Because The Last Pair Of Acrylic Plugs I Had Made My Ears Itch Too.. :/

You def. should avoid wearing acrylic in non-healed stretches.
And I wouldn't wear them in earskins until your ears are healed and a loosened a bit either. It'll stretch the silicone, which'll make your ears stretch a little too. And silicone & stretching is never a good idea XD

Thanks Never Considered All That, I Guess I'll Have To Buy Some Surgical Steel Plugs In The Mean Time
