When starting with stretching it can be a bit difficult to figure what to pay attention on before actually starting the stretching process. Although we will always advise using stretchers made of steel we also know that can become quite expensive. Because besides stretchers you are also going to need special plugs for after the stretch.
Stretchers made of acrylics are not always recommended to be used for stretching. But since the price difference between acrylic and steel is rather big there a lot of people that prefer acrylics. Do you want nothing but the best experience while stretching? We have also composed athe ultimate ear stretching set with only the best products up to 00 GA / 10mm.

In this Material Guide we cover a few topics to explain the benefits of Acrylic Body Jewellery.

Introduction to Acrylic
The official name for Acrylic is Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). It's a thermoplastic that is hard, lightweight, and durable. Acrylic is mostly known as the crystal clear Acrylic glass. However, the material allows for endless colour variations.
Piercings made of Acrylic are much more affordable than those made of 316L Surgical Steel, let alone more expensive materials like Titanium. Acrylic Body Jewellery is also free of any Nickel, making it an excellent alternative for people sensitive to metals.
Pros and Cons
Acrylic Explained
Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) was discovered in 1930 by two local chemists. What started as an alternative to glass quickly became commercialized by several companies around the globe. Nowadays, Acrylic is still widely used as safety glass, but people found more and more applications for the material.
For Piercing Jewellery, Acrylic is a great material. Together with Bioflex, these materials offer a wide range of affordable and often colourful alternatives to metal Piercings. Acrylic is hard and not always flexible. Some Acrylic products like Barbells have a somewhat flexible bar, but compared to Bioflex it is not very bendable. When bent too much, it will break quite easily.
Another benefit of Acrylic Piercing Jewellery is the fact that it doesn't get too cold. Wearing a Plug of Tunnel made of Acrylic on cold winter days is much more comfortable compared to metal.
"Although Acrylic is somewhat flexible, compared to Bioflex it is not very bendable."
As Acrylic is free of any Nickel, Piercings made of this material are ideal for people sensitive to metals. When you suffer from a Nickel-allergy, Acrylic Jewellery is an affordable alternative to titanium or gold.
The lack of metal in the material also makes Acrylic Jewellery perfect for a hospital visit or CT-scan. With many transparent colours available, Acrylic Piercings can also be handy when you want your piercing to be less visible, like for work.
Maintenance Instructions
Acrylic can last for years to come. It is not sensitive to any discolouration, meaning it is entirely free of any maintenance.
Before you put in your newly acquired Jewel, you can use alcohol to disinfect the piercing. We have alcohol pads and special swab sticks available to help out. If you prefer to use soap instead, that is no problem at all.
