Stretchy skin/lobes

So im not new to stretching, my ear is at 22mm and very soon to be 25mm (1")
what i wanted to ask is if anyone else here shares the same problem i do.

I cant wear plugs at all due to the weight on my lobes as my body doesnt produce enough collagen resulting in my EDS, what this means is that i have skin with a high elasticity, which makes it VERY easy for me to stretch my lobes and is the main reason i have managed to go from nothing to 22mm in the space of 12 months. My local pierced has remarked at how healthy my ears and lobes are and actually thought i had been stretching for years until i told him otherwise so i dont need to be told i stretched to fast etc as i am aware that for pretty much anyone that stretching as much as i have in the time i have is ridiculous.

What i want to know is there anyone who shares this problem or if anyone can recommend some plugs that are as light as most tunnels as i would prefer to wear a solid looking piece of jewelery than have visible holes in my ears for job reasons.

Once healed, kaos solid silicone.
They come in loads of colours, and the backs are hollow, so they're plenty light. Silicones light anyway

Might want to try wood too. Depends how heavy is too heavy :) They're light than my glass eyelets though.
And try and choose concave plugs too.

Until healed, you'll probably just have to stick with eyelets.

for light and comfortable, bamboo. bamboo is of course hollow, but at the end of each growth section it is solid. they make for nice plugs and have a cool earthy look.

my friend has that same thing! its so annoying when he just puts bigger jewelry in like every few days! :D i have been nagging him the dangers of fast stretching but he just told me to shut the f*ck up about blowouts and other stuff :/ he certainly has fast healing ears... its kinda unfair cuz i want to stretch faster but my lobes are gonna fuck up if i do it so i must wait xDD
