What are Ear Weights?
June 17, 2022 / by Alex Peace
Ear Weights are a great look after you have fully stretched your ears. The ear weights from Two Feather Plugs come in a variety of styles and weights that will make your ears look stunning.
Ear weights typically hook onto the bottom of your ear lobes and due to the weight will dangle from the bottom of your stretched ear.
Ear Weights are made to be worn after your ears are stretched. They should not be used to stretch your ears. We recommend using regular round stainless steel plugs while stretching your ears.
Ear Weights should not be used to stretch your ears.
Although Ear Weights are a nice look for your stretched ears they should not be used to stretch your ears. When you have ear weights they are only stretching the bottom of your ear lobe. This will cause an uneven stretch of your earlobes which could eventually lead to a tear or a blowout in your stretched ears.
If you wear the ear weights for an extended amount of time the bottom of your lobe will start to thin. The ear weight will eventually thin out enough to cause a loss of blood flow to the bottom of your ear. The less blood flow to your ear will eventually lead to a tear or a rip in your lobe.
You want to stretch your ears evenly. This is done best with a round stainless steel plug that will allow an even stretch at each point of your ears. Ear weights or nonround-shaped plugs will cause pressure points that over time will damage your ears. Use these unique ear weights to show off your stretched ears, but only for a night out at the town or a day. Always go back to the round plug to allow your stretched ears to stay healthy.
What materials are Ear Weights available in?
We typically sell our ear weights with a Stainless Steel hook. The material dangling from the hook will vary from stone to glass and even an ancient fossil. We also sell stone and glass keyhole weights that fit directly in your stretched ears.

Do not wear Ear Weights for an extended period of time
We cannot stress that ear weights should not be worn for an extended period of time. If you wear ear weights one day switch them out later that night for round ear plugs or ear tunnels to let them relax back to that even stretch. This will ensure that you get a proper even stretch of your ears.
Ear weights will stretch the bottom of your ear lobe. We have found though that if you wear them for an extended period of time the top of your ear will actually start to shrink and the overall size of your stretched ear will decrease. So it is important to get the round ear plugs back in your stretched ears to ensure that you stay at your proper gauge size.
