Would it be ok to switch plugs?

I just got peirced with a 4ga and have the tunnels with o-rings they put in when i got it pierced. Would it be ok to switch to glass plugs because when i sleep the tunnels get pushed in my ear and i wake up with them bleeding or they fall out. could I put the glass ones back in the next time they fall out?

thanks

Yep, if you're changing to jewelry that's better for healing it's perfectly fine. :) I hope it helps!

Nah, the new plugs should go in easily if you do put them in immediately following the old plugs. Plus using any oils or lubricants on fresh piercings can trap bacteria or just irritate the piercing.
