Why Organics Plug Are Where It's At!

With the advent of the new independent and individualistic school of thought, came the widespread feeling of self liberation of modern day youngsters. Each and every new age teenager feels that he or she needs to express themselves in the most unique way possible. Thus came the culture of tattoo art, scarification and most commonly, piercing. The latter is probably the most common due to two reasons, the affordability and the versatility of the same. However, the youngsters simply couldn’t stop at the simple earring, they had to go bigger, more intense, and of course, more painful. Thus ear plugs were born. For the more natural individuals, organic plugs were merchandised.

With the urban culture of ear piercing and insertion of body plugs gaining popularity, the question of hygiene has cropped up into the mix. Especially in the case of ear gauges, frequent cleaning of the ears is required. Stretched ears with gauges put in do not allow for dead skin cells to fall off the earlobe. When the gauge is attached, the dead skin cells attach to the ear rings and are trapped in the inside of the earlobe. If not cleaned away often, these result in infection of the lobe and emit a foul smell, especially in organic plugs. Thus cleaning is paramount.

The first step in cleaning your organic plugs is to remove them from the earlobe. Then squirt a dime sized amount of liquid soap onto the jewelry. Rub the soap on the outside and inside of the plug while allowing warm water to run from the faucet of the water source onto the earring itself. Proceed to wash the earrings until dried and dead skin cells and dirt are no longer present on your earrings. Rinse the plugs with cool water and dry your earrings with a paper towel.

After having done the above, proceed to drip a small amount of oil, such as emu or jojoba oil onto a clean cloth. Then rub the cloth on the inside and outside of the organic plug. It helps to maintain the sheen of the plug and keep it moisturized well enough. In addition, lather your hands with liquid soap and warm water. Then insert one finger into the inside of your earlobe piercing. Rub the soapy finger in a circular motion along the inside of the earlobe piercing. After having done this, repeat the motion for the outside of the earlobe piercing and at the front and back of the ear lobe. You can then proceed to insert your plugs into the piercing and pat dry.

With our focus being on organic plugs, there is much that is offered in this type of plugs than any other plugs. First of all, they are mostly made of horn and wood. However, any other organic material that you can get your hands on and carve into a plug is pretty much okay. Horn is generally preferred for many reasons. The material itself is lightweight and can easily be carved into many shapes and sizes. Moreover, it can be cultured into many different colours and shades depending on the liking of the customer himself.
