Double Flared Tunnels

Double Flared Tunnels

Like double flared plugs, double flared tunnels are designed with flared ends to make them a secure fit. Because of the ends, the plugs are less likely to fall out of stretched ears. They are recommended for use on already healed stretched ears, especially because of the flared ends.

What exactly are ear tunnels?

A double flared plug is a cylindrical jewelry item with flared ends on both sides. The ear hole must be large enough for the flare to fit through, given that it is frequently greater than your gauge size.


What's the best way to insert double flare tunnels?

Start by double-checking that the tunnel you're using is the right size for your ear. It is best to put in the double flared tunnels after a shower.

A tiny quantity of Jojoba Oil should be used to moisten your ears. Tunnels are best inserted with one edge first, at an angle. This is known as the button technique because it resembles pressing a button into a buttonhole.


Can I use double flared tunnels to stretch my ears?

You can, but you shouldn't. Double flared tunnels tend to be somewhat bigger than your actual gauge size. Safe stretching requires an insertion pin or taper before inserting a tunnel into your ears.


Is there a difference between double flared tunnels and double flared plugs?

Yes. They are essentially the same thing. However, plugs are solid pieces, while tunnels are hollow and open on both ends, like a cylindrical drum with no lid or bottom.
