Can You Sleep With Plugs? Tips for Healthy Stretched Ears

 

If you have stretched ears, you might wonder whether it’s safe to sleep with your plugs in. At Boholobes & Co., we prioritize ear health, so here’s what you need to know.

 

Why You Should Remove Plugs at Night

 

Even for fully healed ears, sleeping in jewelry can cause:

 

• Irritation and soreness from pressure on the lobes

• Reduced circulation to the tissue

• Long-term damage like thinning, tearing, or blowouts

• Bacteria buildup or allergic reactions, depending on the material

 

Taking a nightly “naked-ear” break helps your lobes rest, keeping them healthy, thick, and less prone to injury.

 

Our Jewelry is for Healed Ears Only

 

All plugs and earrings from Boholobes are designed for fully healed ears only. Using jewelry in unhealed ears can cause serious complications.

 

Choosing Safe Materials for Ear Rest

 

If you want to give your ears a break while still wearing jewelry, opt for biocompatible materials like:

 

• Surgical stainless steel

• Titanium

• Glass

• High-quality wood or stone ( unsuitable for fresh stretches and must never be worn in water)

 

These materials are less likely to cause irritation during extended wear.
