Expansion screws

Stretching spirals are spirals that, as the name suggests, can be used to stretch the piercing channel in the earlobe. They are also aesthetically pleasing and therefore a very popular type of piercing jewelry. We offer these spirals in various sizes, shapes, and designs. There are colorful, hand-painted spirals, as well as natural, unpainted ones where the different wood grains are visible. Some stretching spirals made of horn and wood feature inlays, such as agate, turquoise, or bone. Furthermore, the stretching spiral category encompasses all other piercing shapes. Even if these are not necessarily spiral-shaped, they also serve to widen the piercing channel in an attractive way. Therefore, you will also find ornaments, hearts, stars, anchors, as well as snakes, treble clefs, wings, and much more.

Stretching with piercings

Stretching earlobes or other piercing channels, such as intimate piercings , is not something that happens overnight. Stretching requires time and care. If you rush the process, you risk the piercing channel becoming infected or even tearing. This should be avoided, so you should only ever move the stretching spirals or other piercings a little further at a time; it's recommended to stretch no more than two millimeters per month. Since the stretching spirals and piercings start small and then widen, it's up to you how far you stretch. The spirals are also available in various sizes so you can start at your desired size.

Body parts for expansion screws

Theoretically, stretching tapers, spirals, and other shapes can be used anywhere, since any piercing hole can be stretched larger. In practice, however, they are primarily used for the ears. For other body parts like the lip, nose, or eyebrow, they are simply too large; here, only mini stretching spirals would be suitable. But we don't just offer piercings made from organic materials; we also offer spirals and other shapes made of acrylic or stainless steel, and these are also suitable for intimate piercings. If you actually want to stretch one of these, you'll find the right jewelry with us. Our organic stretching spirals made of wood, horn, and bone have a major advantage over those made of steel, acrylic, or silicone: they allow your skin to breathe even while wearing them, thus preventing the development of unpleasant odors. Generally, all our stretching spirals are very well-made; the surface is smooth and free of sharp edges. Our organic stretching spirals are even handmade, meaning they are crafted, carved, engraved, and painted by hand. For those who love stretching their earlobes but are hesitant to stretch them that much and simply want the look, we recommend our fake stretching spirals. You'll find a wide selection in the fake piercing category, and they're just as good as the real thing: the workmanship, design variety, material, and color range are all top-notch! So everyone can enjoy wearing them: cool, trendy stretching spirals.
