How to measure piercing jewelry? What measurements are given in the product description?

All jewelry is measured internally.
* Barbells are measured between the balls, just the bar itself. The threads shall not be included.
* Labret is measured between the plate and the ball, only the rod itself, the threads should not be included
counted.
* Rings and horseshoes measure the inside diameter by measuring straight across, in the middle of the ring, no part of
the ring itself must be included.
* Bananabells and Belly Barbells are measured straight across (as the crow flies) between the balls, not along
the rod, the threads should not be included.
* Plugs and tunnels are measured straight across the center of the piece of jewelry, that is ALWAYS the smallest
the size of the plug/tunnel as stated in the product description, some jewelry that has edges too
to sit better is thus a little bigger just at the edges.

Are your Tunnels & Plugs sold individually or as a pair?

All jewelry is sold individually unless otherwise specifically stated in the product information.

What is the difference between external and internal threading?

On an externally threaded piece of jewelry, the rod is screwed into a threaded hole in the ball. The threads sit on the rod and there is a hole in the ball.

On an internally threaded piece of jewelry, a threaded pin that sits on the ball is screwed into the piece of jewelry. The rod itself has a hole in it with threads in it.

What does Threadless mean?

Threadless jewelry is an alternative if you are tired of screwing on and off tops. The idea behind Threadless is that the thread on the rod itself should not go through the piercing when you insert the jewelry.

No part of the jewelry has any threads, you push the small stick at the top down about 1/3 into the rod, angle it a little so that there is a small bend on the stick and push it all the way down into the rod and it stays in place.

What does Push Fit mean?

Push Fit jewelery is an alternative if you are tired of screwing on and off tops. The idea behind Pushfit is that the thread on the rod itself should not go through the piercing when you insert the jewelry.

It's like a little knurled "peg" on the top that fits into the hole in the rod itself.
You simply push the pin gently into the hole and the top is fixed.

This jewelry only fits together with other Push Fit jewelry, they do not fit with Threadless, internally or externally threaded jewelry.

How do I stretch my ear?

How you go about stretching your piercing is very personal, for some it is very easy, while others may have to wait a long time before they get to the size they want. The easiest way to stretch one's ear holes is to use a stretch jewelry that extends over several sizes, for example a spiral or a stretching rod (you can find this under Stretch Jewelry in the category tree). You can also go from size to size, but this usually puts more stress on the piercing.
Good to remember: Always stretch your piercing when you are warm, for example after the shower/bath. Always use some kind of lotion, for example vaseline or helosan ointment. Stretch your piercing from "both sides" so the hole doesn't become crooked and don't be in too much of a hurry! A piercing that stretches too quickly risks becoming sore and infected, and the risk of scarring naturally increases if you push too fast!
