I'm using acrylic atm, I can't use surgical steel or anything with metal in it as I'm allergic. Dot wanna use glass. Can I use the acrylic or is it not good for me?
Is it a nickel allergy you have or are you also allergic to titanium? Titanium allergies are super rare so I just thought I'd ask.
Why don't you want to use glass? I've always stretched with it and I love it. Defintely my favorite jewelry material.
Acrylic isn't meant to be worn long-term or in new stretches so you'll want to find something else.

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!
I'm allergic to both nickel and titanium as well. Even surgical steel titanium I can't wear (had my knees broken and realigned a few years ago, they put surgical steel titanium bolts in there, I got a allergic reaction while healing and had to wait for them to heal before I had them taken out)
I can't use glass as my knees (Have osteoarthritis) give out regularly and I fall down, so don't want to risk them getting broken.
Glass plugs are very unlikely to break (I've dropped many from very high up and never broken a single one, even at tiny sizes) but maybe you could try teflon/PTFE? The only trouble with that is there's not much selection but you could wear that to give your lobes a break from acrylic.

I gotta wait from to arrive from the UK. I live in Australia. About 6-8 weeks to arrive. And they don't sell glass tapers or plugs or tunnels where I live. Only acrylic
