Glass vs. Metal: Which Is Better for Healing Stretched Lobes?
Stretching your ears is a journey — and the material you wear matters. While steel and titanium are great for healed piercings, glass has unique advantages for healing or recently stretched lobes.
Why Glass Wins for Stretching:
- No hotspots or cold spots — Glass remains thermally neutral.
- Less weight — Reduces strain on new tissue.
- Ultra smooth — Slides in easily, minimizing microtears.
- Non-porous — Doesn’t harbor bacteria or debris.
