Acrylic is porous, which means the possibility of infection is much higher then with steel, an the possibility of ur ears growing onto it is much higher. i have never had issues with it, but be careful, watch ur ears an listen to ur body.

i was told they won't blow out this way? i've had alot of issues with blow outs on my left ear. as for growin into it i dont plan on leaveing these in more than a few days im gonna put my metal plugs in

ive never had a problem as long as you clean your ears and the plugs everyday

I actually don't have a big problem with acrylic. I'm not going to say it's the best thing to use for a fresh stretch, but if you're stretching properly there shouldn't be any open wounds or anything so I really don't see the big deal. Some people may have reactions to it, but if you don't it's fine. I did my last stretch with acrylic, but I put in glass plugs a few days later.

i'm just trying to find what is best to gauge with i'm trying Silicone tunnels next to go to 7/16

Well, the best things are glass and titanium. NEVER stretch with silicone! It really can irritate a fresh stretch quite a bit, and if you use it to actually stretch with it can force your lobe to stretch before it's ready since it expands inside your ear.

good thing i have glass 7/16s then i guess i'll try those in a few weeks i have all different kinds of 7/16 since thats where im stoping
