So it's basically dead stretching with a plug that has a snap on flare...

gotta see this thing in real life but heres one guarentee:

peoples ears are gonna bleed and blow out cause kids these days are gonna use this as a quick method of stretching.
I can see some dumbass kid getting the full set and feeling after 3 days that he can stretch to the next size and keep doing that.

Do they even stretch? Cause they don't really look like they taper at all. And if you connected a bigger one to a smaller then you'd have a giant overhang...
Even if they were tapered, you ear would heal on a funny slant?

Anyway, I don't really see the point.
Especially as they look like acrylic.

they are supposedly interlocking smoothly and have a taper from the previous size to the new
so for a smart stretcher they should be great is what i think because theyre only limitedly sold on the site so lil kiddies wont generally be nabbin these up i signed on with the company/site when it debuted and have gotten plenty of info and they sound great
the full stretch logic site is supposed to be up theis week and the snap plugs debut april 20th
it is a disposable system so when the old size is done its thrown out
and althought theyre disposble theyre very safe

10-30 days before the next stretch? And are they acrylic? Sounds like whoever made those still has a lot to learn!

10 - 30 days is kind of a minimum and also depends on how well your ears heal
im not sure what material they are ill have to check the conversation i had with them

10-30 days is absolutely not the minimum. 30 is the bare minimum to be safe.

But if you look at the picture chart of the sizing above, there's actually 10 sizes to go through between 4g and 0g, which has me thinking it will be very similar to wrapping 2 layers of tape around your plug every week.
If this is the case, then waiting 10-30 days as a minimum between each size actually isn't all that bad (in my opinion anyway).
Although the fact that they're acrylic of some sort, could be a very bad idea (for people who don't agree with the material) and people that use them the wrong way.

I think it's a good idea, but I reckon it needs refinement. Perhaps make them out of steel and have the sizes "screw" together instead of snapping together.
