Contrary to popular belief, ear gauges aren’t new. In 1991, tourists from Germany stumbled upon a mummy that was later nicknamed Otiz—the oldest known example of mummification in the world. Otiz is a perfectly preserved example of just how long body modifications such as ear stretching have been around as he came from around 3300 BCE and has ears stretched to about 8 millimeters!

Thankfully since then, mankind has developed safer and cleaner ways of stretching ears.

Understanding Ear Gauges

En commençant généralement avec des écarteurs d'oreille de 16 ou 14, les oreilles sont étirées à l'aide d'un taper spécialement développé, inséré dans un piercing d'oreille cicatrisé. Environ six semaines après chaque étirement, il est possible d'étirer à nouveau en toute sécurité. Le Stretching des oreilles, effectué lentement et dans un environnement propre, est la meilleure façon d'assurer la santé des lobes.

Écarteurs d'oreille vs. Plugs : quelle est la différence ?

The terms “gauges” and plugs are very often used interchangeably to describe ornamental jewellery for stretched ears. Technically, the term “gauge” refers to the size to which the ear has been stretched. It can also refer to the size of the plug based on width.

Knowing your gauge size is important when stretching up and changing jewellery. If you buy plugs that are too small in gauge, they will not fit your ears, and if you buy plugs too large, you can risk a blowout (tearing of the stretched skin). The term “plug” simply refers to the jewellery of any gauge that is used for ear stretching. They can be of many different gauges and are unlimited in style.
